The Mark You Make Matters.

Having worked with Karen in a previous role, I engaged her to coach a cohort of high-performing leaders who reported directly to the C-suite across multiple functions. Our objective was to deepen their leadership acumen, increase their impact by empowering their teams more effectively, and free up capacity to focus on strategic priorities. We also aimed to strengthen collaboration and communication across the group.

Karen quickly built trust with each leader and tailored her coaching to their specific needs and development goals. The outcomes were better than expected. She struck an effective balance between maintaining the confidentiality of her coaching relationships and providing senior leadership with valuable, high-level insights into overall themes and engagement across the cohort.

Based on the consistently positive feedback from participants as well as demonstrable improvements we are seeing, I highly recommend Karen’s coaching services. Her pragmatic, adaptable approach and the tangible results she helps leaders achieve make her a valuable partner—regardless of industry or function.

Karen helped me unlock capacity and create more time to think strategically by identifying ways to develop and empower my team. Leveraging insights from my 360 feedback, she helped me focus on key growth areas and strengthen my cross-functional relationships, enabling me to drive strategic decisions that advanced the business. She brought valuable insight and served as a true thought partner, encouraging me to reflect and approach challenges from new perspectives.

Working with Karen was a truly positive experience. Her impartial feedback, thoughtful guidance, and consistent support helped me build confidence, amplify my voice, and ultimately increase my impact at work. This was my first time working with an executive coach, and it’s an investment I now see as essential for my ongoing career growth.

I have had the pleasure of interacting with Karen Wilson through the recent Center for Executive Coaching certification program. Throughout my interactions and observations of Karen, she has displayed a collaborative approach to the coaching program and process. She has studied and practiced the materials in a thoughtful way and supported her cohort participants in the several breakout sessions. Questions and comments were value-added for the group and consistent with her many years of experience as an executive leader and contributed to her overall executive presence. Our certification process is highly recognized in the executive coaching industry, and I was pleased to see Karen succeed as a participant. She is a great coach!

I am pleased to recommend Karen for her joint executive coaching and consulting services. Her background as a senior HR leader at Thermo Fisher Scientific – which is where we worked together – positions her to deliver value and impact to her clients in a meaningful way. In her engagement with our HR leader, Karen’s practical approach to coaching, combined with her demonstrated leadership and business acumen, is helping our HR leader grow and scale in her role. She helps our leader explore ways to make a greater impact, both personally and functionally, and she’s equipped to act as a sounding board on a broad variety of topics important to our business. As a result of a value-added first engagement, we are continuing our arrangement with Karen.
