Events
The results are in from Karen Sands’ triumphant Emcee performance at the 2012 Idea Circle for Women Conference, The remarks are nothing short of outstanding as she skillfully connected the attendees and presenters throughout the day as if weaving a tapestry of colorful warps and wefts using her insights, humor and boundless energy binding everyone together . Thank you Karen!

I wanted to let you know that you received RAVE reviews in our evaluations! Which says a lot as we only did general conference overview vs. a workshop by workshop one, so people had to go out of the way to comment on individual speakers. I was also stopped that day by several people commenting on the conference & your name was mentioned to me more than once!

I was so impressed with Karen’s presentation that I had one of our writers interview her about executive coaching for our publication Best Practices in Human Resources. The first interview was so successful that the writer interviewed her again, this time about mid-life coaching. Her enthusiasm for these subjects was contagious!

Working with Karen Sands is like entering a magical kingdom. The kingdom under the power suit, under the intellect, under the mind games. As I am in my 3rd Age, I am more and more interested in self-improvement, introspection and embracing my feminine Self. This was a chane to reflect quietly but with an expert leading me through. The Greatness of Midlife & Beyond is an absolute must!

As Manager of Education & Membership for the NY Society of Association Executives, I invited Karen Sands to give a presentation for our association executive members seeking a career or affiliation change. She is an excellent, motivating speaker who in a very short time created a lively, highly interactive and safe space for professionals to share and communicate with each other. She is a generous and accessible master coach who would be an asset to anyone dealing with professional growth and seeking new mountains to climb. Karen provided an avenue for our members to look within …I thank her for this.
