At least that’s how her website describes Karen, but to really know whoo she is, you’re going to have to tune in and hear for yourself, because as she tells it, whoo you are is not what you do, it’s what you value and your life purpose that really make up whoo you were born to be. Like many Outstanding Women Leaders, Karen seemingly had it all. She was VP of a consulting firm where she was making a positive impact on non-profit organizations, interacting with C-level executives and leaders at all levels whoo assured her she was implementing change that was meaningful and worthy.

Spoiler alert, she was miserable. This realization led Karen on her own journey with a Co-Active coach who empowered her to lead her life in the direction of her values and purpose. But first, Karen would need to get really clear on what those values really were and how those values, before she could start living on purpose and finally “have it all.” Tune in to hear this witty and wise Co-Active conversation on empowering others to live and lead on purpose! Karen shares what she learned working with a coach, as well as her own tips for reframing your Imposter Syndrome and dealing with those sabatour voices that hold us back from empowering and leading others.

Dale Walsh grew up always thinking he was on a different plan of reality than most of his peers. His grandiose thoughts began at the age of 16 when he "figured out" he was smarter than Henry Kissinger, President Nixon's brilliant but widely disliked Secretary of State.

Diagnosed as a schizophrenic at the age of 20, Dale was institutionalized with schizophrenic delusions after his first year at Dartmouth. For Dale, recovery has always been an option. It's been 27 years since Dale's last schizophrenic episode. Today, Dale is a coach supporting families whoo's loved ones are fighting their own battle to recover from schizophrenia.
