Hello, my name is Karie, and I am a passionate leader who has been mentoring and taking on leadership roles since childhood. My mom used to say that I was influential, leading the neighborhood kids in various activities such as building forts, playing Barbies, and riding bikes with enthusiasm. Looking back, I realize that I may have been a bit bossy, but I also knew that I had a natural gift for leadership.

At my very first job in retail, I quickly realized that I wanted to accelerate my career and move into management. Leading others isn’t about being bossy – it’s a passion that comes from within. By the age of 22, I found myself in a leadership position at one of the largest revenue-generating locations my company owned. Looking back, I am surprised that they trusted me with so much responsibility at such a young age.

My career has taken many twists and turns since then, but one thing has remained constant: my desire to help others find their true potential. After unexpectedly becoming a mom eight years into my marriage, I made the decision to stay home with my daughter for four years. During that time, I started my own wellness coaching practice and obtained my nutrition certification. Empowering others to improve their lives quickly became my passion, and I transitioned my coaching skills into the world of business coaching through a global organization.

But as much as I loved my career, I also wanted to be a hands-on mom. So, I created my own business that allowed me to work from anywhere, and in 2014, I started working for myself full-time. Since then, I have become a best-selling author, keynote speaker, trainer, podcast host, and consultant for businesses all over the world.

I thoroughly enjoy empowering my audiences in leadership, business, and self-confidence with my online tools and consulting services. Being a professional businesswoman and a hands-on mom is truly the best of both worlds, and I am grateful for the opportunity to live my passion every day.
