“I recently hired Karen as a Career Coach at the University of Houston.
She delivered an incredible presentation on the importance of elevator speeches to the student chapter of the International
Association of Business Communicators. Karen is a dynamic presenter and engages her audience with constructive critical thinking
exercises. She also connects with audience members, working with them rather than simply speaking to them. I was very impressed
by her crisp delivery and look forward to having her return to UH to share more professional insights with students.”

"Karen had the attendees immediately alert and focused. Her
topic was “The Upside to the Down Turn” and Karen used various illustrations in delivering tips on networking,
maintaining marketability and remaining positive. Karen used humor to convey
timely information with a punch.

guaranteed to enhance the quality of our day-to-day personal and professional lives."
