Hi, I’m Karen…
I’m a battle tested, slightly scarred, stubbornly badass warrior living a messy, wonderful life! I have to tell myself that quite often, because life can get to you and try to convince you that you’re not cutting it, and there’s nothing wonderful about your mess. I’m learning, however, that being willing to find your passion, love your tribe, and serve others in a way that doesn’t always make sense, is pretty badass and wonderful, too….so there it is.
A little more about me… I’m a retired USAF Lieutenant Colonel, a lawyer and a John Maxwell Certified Coach, Speaker and Trainer. I’m also a Certified Personality Insights Behavior Consultant specializing in DISC methodology. I’ve been a professor at the USArmy JAG school at the University of Virginia Law School and in my time in the air force have been an administrative officer and JAG and run various law departments in US bases around the country. I’ve also headed the Utilities Litigation Team for the air force and am currently their expert civilian utilities lawyer. As a coach I’ve worked with various organizations including the Panama City Beach, FL Chamber of Commerce, Mary Kay, Boots to Business and the Recovery Mission in Panama City, FL teaching various leadership, business and negotiations seminars. I’m also a Mom of three amazing daughters.
