Our Services

  • Leadership Coaching

    Leadership is not a title. Leadership is an action. Our 1:1 leadership coaching offers emerging leaders, mid-level managers, and executives the opportunity to develop strength-based skills and elevate their leadership style with accountability. Leaders will become intentional with how they lead directly and indirectly.

  • Professional Development

    Building productive employees means investing in their growth and development. Our training programs, workshops, and group coaching programs offer cohorts learning objectives while creating connection and camaraderie among employees, increased self-awareness, and new and often unexpected perspectives.

  • Speaking Engagements

    Our expert coaches can provide keynote presentations or interactive breakout sessions at your upcoming conference, team meeting, or corporate retreat. Personal and engaging, our leaders offer tangible takeaways for each of the many popular topics we offer. Customized topics are also available.

  • Meeting Facilitation

    Hiring a facilitator allows you an equal seat at the table. We partner with clients for team off-sites, board meetings, retreats and strategic planning sessions. Designing the agenda alongside our clients, we solve how to achieve the designed outcomes with workshop activities and programming that we execute for you.

Karen Pambianchi Life and Leadership Coach for Women

Hi, I’m Karen.

One of the most memorable experiences of my career was a company outing when I was a part-time, temporary employee. It stands out to me, not because it was golfing in the summer in Maine, but rather because I was encouraged as a student, summer-only employee to attend and engage with my department and the whole company as a peer outside of the office. I felt seen. I felt important. I felt included.

Ever since this experience, I have had a passion for creating meaningful experiences where people feel seen, important, and included.

As an Associate Certified Coach, Certified Life Coach, and ICF member, my top priority is to help professionals and organizations build productive and satisfying careers and robust personal lives through strength-based strategies that are achievable, repeatable, and make you feel good.

At the foundation of all this work is the value of a well-balanced life, ensuring clients' experiences are not taken in isolation but instead in the context of their multifaceted lives.
