What leaders are saying about our work together

“Kara was a huge help. She literally unblocked my writers block – helped me write more, write faster, write more clearly and succinctly. She also helped me form communication habits that I use every day, from small meetings to large group speeches. Her style matched my needs: flexible, but also highly prepared and structured to drive retention though simulations and practice. If you can get her, I strongly recommend getting time with her.”
– John Anderson, Head of Product for Oculus VR

“My time with Kara dramatically surpassed my expectations. She developed creative ways to help me work on specific areas of improvement, gave me useful tips and feedback and the opportunity to practice until I was able to implement them, and was incredibly supportive throughout the process. I considered myself a strong communicator before working with Kara, and still I noticed real improvements after only a few sessions. Her input has been invaluable and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have worked with her!”
– Alice Hudson, Consumer Strategy and Operations Lead at Uber

“Kara is an amazing coach. She used my real life examples to teach me techniques that I was able to apply immediately after each coaching session. Kara was very good at spotting the root cause of issue and areas to be focused on. The techniques she taught were easy to grasp but very effective. Those techniques are beneficial to me not only for work, but life beyond work. Kara is a wonderful person to partner with. She is caring, thoughtful, and pays attention to details. During our conversations, she knew how to lead with the right questions to explore what I need. I would highly recommend Kara to anyone or organization!”
–Hui Liao, Director, Cloud Programs at Google
