"I can't thank you enough for all you did to help me get here. I'm living in the house of my dreams, my kids are on fire with their various interests, my marriage is as good as ever, and I have a whole new set of friends. The one area that needed the most attention, my job, seems to be the most on fire. I have now been at xxxx for 8 months. I have sold almost $15M in new business (my annual target is 3) and I am receiving firm wide accolades, spot bonuses and am assured a #1 rating (which means a substantial financial reward and likely promotion) when this fiscal year ends in June. My client loves me and I wouldn't be surprised if I end up working there. AND, they are less than 3 miles from my house. The Law of Attraction INDEED. I continue to apply all that I learned from you on a daily basis and have nothing but gratitiude for all you helped me to accomplish. I am a big fan of yours and often refer to you and the great experience of having a life coach. If I can be of any assistance to your practice, please let me know. Use me as a reference, etc. as I will give a glowing recommendation." S.M.

Karen receives my highest recommendation. I’d call her a strategic optimist. Sessions leave you feeling good, but you also know you are doing the hard work that’s good for you. We started at the beginning with an assessment. This helped me to get clarity about what I wanted from my coaching sessions. After the assessment period, Karen kept me focused in our weekly sessions with very concrete suggestions. She created a great balance between making sure I got the help I needed, but taking control sometimes to make sure I didn’t stay doing things that were comfortable for me. She has a very holistic approach so she can coach on practical work matters, like preparing you for a job interview, and also reach deeper into personal issues, like finding more joy and fulfillment in everything you do. I also appreciated that working with her didn’t make me dependent on her services. She's great at being available but she also gave me the tools and a framework to work independently to make my own dreams come true.

“I got a chance to work with Karen while I was trying to work through some career challenges. She was immediately able to understand the reasons for some of my actions/lack of actions and she was able to gently but firmly bring out the issues that needed to be dealt with. It has been a pleasure working with her. I have always come out of her coaching sessions feeling confident and empowered and better about myself. She was able to succinctly bring out my inner strengths and showcase them to me. Now I have learnt something new that not only benefits my work-life but also my overall perspective of life and my values. I would highly recommend getting coached by Karen if you want to see a side of you that you have but might not have not seen till date.” G. R. ~Microsoft

I started working with Karen a year ago due to struggles with fear and anxiety over work issues I had been experiencing. I was not feeling fulfilled and felt I was not in the position where my talents and gifts were being best utilized. Through Karen's coaching I faced my fears and came out ahead of them and was able to place them behind me, and not let my fears control me. For me, this has been an enormous victory for which I would not have done without Karen's kind and gentle encouragement.
This past year has been a life altering path that I would not have undertaken without her. With Karen's insight she helped me to see and appreciate my strengths and gave me the courage to claim and act upon them. Karen helped me each step of the way as I enrolled in a program that is at the core of my heart's desire, to work with children. I completed this program this past May and am now taking steps to open my own business. I sincerely mean it when I say that without Karen's coaching I would not have even imagined that I would be pursuing my dreams and making them a reality.
During this year while I undertook this course, I lost my mother, resigned from my job, moved to another state, bought my own home, and am starting my own business. I could not have managed through these huge life changing events without Karen's incredible, gifted coaching skills. Karen helped me to knock down the barriers to my own walls of fear and doubt, to see what I am capable of doing and achieving, to be self-empowered, to reach for and claim the potential within me. Karen did this by helping unearth my buried dreams and to learn to trust in myself - through Karen's support I am on my way to becoming the person I only dreamt of being.
I highly recommend Karen McClaskey to anyone who is struggling to overcome their own blocks, and Karen will help you break down the walls we build ourselves to achieving our goals.
If you choose Karen as your coach I can honestly say that you certainly will be empowered by this choice!

I highly recommend Karen McClaskey as a life coach. Karen and I have worked together for the last 5 months and I am already experiencing great life changing results.
Karen has been a most delightful discovery for me. I have worked with coaches in the past but never have I had the results I am experiencing working with Karen. She has been supportive, encouraging, incredibly positive and nurturing, all the while expecting me to be the best that I can be. She is reliable in inspiring change in me. I know that each time we have a session, I will be the better for it and my day and subsequent week will be so much more productive and action oriented.
When I started working with Karen I was confused, lacked in direction and did not have a plan for my life. Karen helped me get in touch with what’s important to me; with my values. She helped get me focused and find daily actions I can take to move in the direction of my dreams. She does not make me accountable to her, but finds ways to make me accountable for myself.
I have had an idea for a writing project but lacked the willingness and discipline to put it to paper. Karen motivated me to start writing daily. I have completed a first draft and now working on a rewrite, all in a matter of months. She gives me deadlines and miraculously the work is done by the time the deadline is up. She has the great talent of zeroing in on what needs to be discussed and is powerfully inspiring in creating the changes necessary. Some of the transformations I experienced have been in the areas of time management and job hunting as well as eating habits and yes parenting! She is great in helping me identify and combat the negative self talk that is so often a deterrent to a well lived life.
Karen would be a tremendous asset and help to any person who is looking for positive, inspiring change in their lives.

I have been working with Karen McClaskey over the last several months with one to one 45-60 minute coaching calls 2-3 times a month.
Karen is a bright light with a warm and tender communications style and is a shining example of admirable leadership. A consummate professional, she has amazing intellectual horsepower, is principled, trustworthy, has executive maturity and confidence, and knows how to inspire and at the same time hold you accountable to the commitments you have made to yourself in your coaching journey.
Weekly assignments have been part of the process, and her guidance and influence have resulted in a powerful outcome.
As a lifelong learner and someone who values challenging work that helps me grow, and allows me to utilize my best talents to evolve, Karen helped me to invest the time in myself at a time in my life with some challenging life events. Karen has the ability to ask stimulating and compelling questions which really make you think and look deep inside yourself for insights into your values, life choices and direction.
I am proud to make this recommendation for Karen McClaskey. F.N. ~~~ Microsoft
