Approach

Meet the faculty

Karen partners with leaders, noticing the cues that matter, blending strategy with soul, and catalyzing insight and effective action. Her goal is to help individuals and teams step into aligned, conscious leadership that ripples far beyond the office.

Because of a passion for spirit-based whole-child education Karen co-founded the GreenWood School in 1992, an innovative Waldorf inspired elementary school. Karen finds inspiration in nature, movement, and connection—hiking Mt. Tamalpais, practicing pilates and yoga, and adventuring with her family and grandsons.
