Don’t get me wrong; my life was wonderful. I had an incredible husband and daughter, family and friends. My business was booming and extremely lucrative. We had built our dream home on the water; we went on many vacations. My family was healthy and happy. I achieved my black belt in Karate. I was an accomplished windsurfer/kitesurfer and mountain bike rider. I had it all! Still . . . something was missing. There was an emptiness and lack of meaning that the wonderful things in my life could not fill. So why would I want to change a life like that? I felt guilty about these feelings. I thought, “How could I feel this way when I have so much to be grateful for?” My thoughts of dissatisfaction persisted, and I knew I had to make some changes. My inner voice was telling me I was meant to help people and companies at a deeper level than I could as a Search Consultant. I loved many aspects of the Search Consulting business, but my favorite part of my responsibilities was the training of new employees and the interviewing of candidates. Most of my colleagues would spend 30 to 45 minutes in an interview. I would spend a minimum of an hour and a half! I couldn’t help myself. I was so curious about what made people tick, one question would lead to the next and before I knew it, hours had gone by! It was as if my true passion was found in learning about people’s lives and motivations, not just searching for the right job candidate. I was surprised to learn that – just like me – an alarming number of these successful high-level professionals weren’t completely satisfied with their careers and lives, even though they had achieved so much. This was the catalyst I needed to begin my quest to uncover the reasons behind the epidemic of discontent, and to find progressive and sustainable solutions for creating a life and career filled with vibrancy, meaning, happiness and prosperity. My passion for maximizing human potential and excellence fueled my desire to become an Business Excellence Coach, Personal Excellence Coach, Author, and Speaker. I am so grateful to say that I am witnessing dramatic improvement in the lives and careers of clients who are utilizing my services. All of the concepts, techniques and methods taught are based on solid scientific research, and the results are lasting.” -- Karen Parsons
“I have utilized Karen's business and life coaching skills over the past two years and found them incredibly beneficial. I have known Karen since she worked as a search professional and she brings the same degree of energy, integrity and compassion to this new area of focus. Her degree of knowledge and insight, along with her ability to provide creative ways to alleviate work place challenges and stress with a healthy dose of empathy and insight is refreshing. I have had occasion to recommend her to others with very positive results and I would not hesitate to utilize her again or to recommend her highly to others. She is a tremendous resource and a sea of calm in a very turbulent work world.” Ron Hulse, Chief Convergence Officer, VP, Mobile Communications & IT Business Solutions at Samsung Electronics Canada “Karen has wonderfully probed great questions that inspires me to think in other perspectives and has helped me tremendously in such a short amount of time I would greatly recommend her to anyone who wants to better themselves or challenge some current issues that might be going on.” Louise Myler, Texas “…my personal tour guide on the road of positive self-discovery and re-discovery–-helping me to develop new tools and disciplines that have played a key factor in elevating me to the next level of personal and professional success and fulfillment."
