Media Coaching

Be it the big or small screen, for speaking engagements, in-house or on the road, for business presentations, Zooms, or boardrooms. Whatever the case, it all boils down to telling a great story, and if an excellent performance accompanies it, all the better.
Karen pulls on her theatrical background as a performer, award-winning playwright, Tennessee Williams Fellow, and international comedian, going beyond branding and strategy to dive deeper into character coaching and story development. The transformation for you and your brand can be massive and immediate with quantifiable results.
