" I am absolutely convinced that working with Karen was a pivoting point in my life and career. I had been sitting on the fence for some time. I just could not make up my mind to take the first steps to pursue a change in careers which required more education. In fact, I had directed my time and energy to other things to avoid thinking about it. During our sessions, Karen listened and asked questions. The questions provoked additional thoughts as well as more questions. With Karen’s help and encouragement, I realized what I wanted to do and how to go about doing it. I’m back in college and working on a master’s degree and making a career change."
-Debra (Second Career Student)

"Karen listens! …She combines sensitive insight, wise judgment and God’s great gift of loving humor into a very personal framework of support. Karen can be trusted."
-Art (Security Consultant)

"I had been considering going into business for myself. Karen helped to prepare me to jump off and fly with my ideas for my new adventure. Without this experience, I do not believe I would be as far into my business as I am today. I feel more confident that my dream is real and God is being glorified with each business relationship I form."
–Frances (Owner, The Decorated Cookie Company)

"Working with Karen as a 'coach' gave me the tools I needed to set goals for myself, not simply vent, sigh, and go on."
-Janna (Interior Design)

"Living Tall has been a tremendous help to our relationship with each other and our relationship with God…we smoothed out our gravel path in order to lay the foundation of our lives together. Our foundation is now level and solid. We have learned how and continue learning how to communicate well. We express feeling in positive ways, even in negative situations. Thank you Karen!"
-Greg and Faith (Newlyweds)

"I am impressed with Karen’s ability to ask just the right questions…she is very adept at not putting words in our mouths and waiting patiently for us to arrive at a conclusion. Since our coaching has begun with Karen, my husband and I have a clearer vision of what we want to accomplish in our marriage."
-Sydna (Music Teacher)

"Each session, Karen checks on our goals, questions and probes to help clarify the goals, and asks if there are new aspects of that goal that we want to address. She also checks back for new goals or obstacles that may have arisen. The affect of this process is sometimes subtle and sometimes dramatic but is always moving forward in a positive direction towards our goals."
-Jay (Science Teacher)

"When you are in business by yourself it is sometimes very difficult to see things in proper perspective, and Karen is excellent at pointing out the trees in the forest when needed or showing me the big forest picture when I have forgotten why I am doing what I am doing in the first place. She is interested in helping me to be active - to prioritize what needs to be done, to set achievable goals, to celebrate the little victories, to reassess things when they don’t work out. I know when I talk with Karen she will ask if I have done what I have said that I will do and that in and of itself is motivating."
-Susan (H.R. Recruiting)
