When power and grace intertwine, a door opens for extraordinary positive transformation. Choosing to lead in a way that is both strong and influential, as well as compassionate, empathetic, and harmonious – lifts individuals, organizations, and even societies.
Leading with power and grace is not just for a select chosen few, but a skill anyone with the commitment and desire can develop. Having a life with less friction, more engagement, and fluidity provides a type of freedom most people desire.
Karen and Spiral Impact helped us learn to make our conflicts creative and keep things moving even when differences arise.
She is a support for a higher level of operating as a team.”

“I loved the ways Karen challenged my assumptions. I learned that within assumptions lies a prison that keeps me focused on what I assume to be right without allowing a more fluid approach to consider other possibilities. I’m grateful for our year-long engagement. Her coaching was transforming.”

The Spiral Impact virtual training was one of the best that I have attended to date. The design of the program allowed me time to practice my skills each week and receive personal attention from Karen to keep working on my problem areas. It was extremely helpful and I would recommend it to everyone.”
