Welcome! I'm Karen, founder of Summit2Summit Coaching and I specialize in performance and leadership coaching for female executives, entrepreneurs and athletes.
A former elite athlete and senior sales executive in STEM, I've also launched successful manufacturing, consulting and coaching businesses and bring this considerable experience to my coaching. I'm passionate about supporting high achieving women to become the best leaders of themselves and others with renewed confidence and well-being. It's all about the journey! |
🔺What I Do
Women often come to me for coaching when they want to move to a higher level of performance or reach their next big goal but are unsure on how to reach those summits. They may be grappling with decision paralysis, a lack of confidence or depleting mental energy. They are experts in their field but can feel uncertain, overwhelmed and at times exhausted or even near burn out.
Our body and mind are one and form our “body budget” and we must deposit regularly to keep balanced so we have a solid foundation to take action, to be the best leaders of ourselves and others.
And that is where I come in.
Evoking inquiry to create awareness, embracing the power of ‘yet’ and appreciating that goals are only realized by practice and learning in action is the foundation of my work.
Key pillars of my coaching include: connecting with core values; acknowledging and building on strengths; boosting confidence and leadership skills through practice; and nurturing well-being to provide a solid foundation to take action.

🔺 How I help
My clients are high achieving female executives, entrepreneurs, and athletes. They are ready to embrace their power of ‘yet’, throw fear to the wind and get the support they need.
My coaching approach employs strategies, assessments and tools from elite sport, applied neuroscience and positive psychology to support clients to reach their goals, inspired by purpose and meaning, with joy, resilience and focus.

🔺 Background
I’ve paddled the gamut across elite sports, a kayaking Olympian, a sports coach, working as a senior sales executive in male dominated STEM organizations to launching my own manufacturing and consulting businesses.
I'm also a mom of a special needs young adult, so I truly appreciate the challenges and fears of others and wish I had a steady hand to have supported and guided me in the past. It is for this reason that I do the work I do to be that person for other women.
A director on a regional sport development board and involved in professional networks I energize by staying active, time in nature, building community and empowering young athletes.
I hold an MBA, NCCP sport coach certified and hold personal and professional coaching certifications.
An ICF - ACC certified coach I'm an active member with the International Coaching Federation.

In the words of the late Helen Reddy “I am woman, hear me roar” Are you ready to roar again?
