“Kari was a patient coach who gave me concrete techniques for dealing with my day-to-day work and she was excellent at pointing out how my challenges were tied to my personality and behaviors. She gave me actionable ways of looking at my work differently.” SVP Banking

“Kari did a great job, and I thought the overall coaching experience was impactful in addressing the area of concern we identified at the beginning of the journey. I especially like Kari’s style of not providing the answers to me on what to do to change a certain behavior, but rather help me find the answer on my own through a series of thoughtful questions and tips on how to look at the situation from someone else’s perspective. 5-star rating overall!” Chief Risk Officer
