“Karen excels at ensuring presenters get what they need in order to be effective, and she accomplishes that in a friendly, enthusiastic, easygoing way. Her best quality is her commitment to helping people.”

“Before working with Karen, I would have muddled through a synchronous online presentation, functioning at about a 3. Now I'm at an 8 or 9 and enjoying the praise of colleagues. With Karen's help, I've been able to perform well in a stressful situation—working simultaneously with 200 learners in person and 200 on line.

Karen's method creates the best possible instructional experience. She offers her ideas and helps me tap into my ideas about challenges such as stimulating the participation of learners I can't see. She then allows me to tweak her ideas so that they become my own.

Most important, Karen does whatever it takes to make me look good and be successful.”

“As an online training consultant, I've seen online tools used too often to generate only superficial interaction. Karen’s use of the chat area to create a truly meaningful group discussion—which reveals what’s in the heads of the learners—was new to me. Her deep understanding of the challenges that online trainers face is evidence of her credibility and experience in the industry. In addition, because Karen is enthusiastic, connects easily and welcomes all questions—particularly important with new technology—she’s effective in environments where others often fall short.”

“Karen is a tremendously gifted facilitator. Where many instructors believe it is their role to tell students how and what to learn, Karen's approach is unique and empowering. She challenges learners to take responsibility, and she engages them in discovering their own insights. Combined with her natural energy, enthusiasm and appreciation for openness, Karen's talents as a facilitator create a powerful learning experience.”

“The best thing I got from Karen was equilibrium, necessary for coordinating one's own thoughts and actions along with the needs and questions of unseen learners. She flattened the learning curve for me."

Karen excels where most trainers do not: She listens and adapts her teaching to what her students need and are ready to hear. She doesn't put an advanced student through a basic course.

Because she's very open, Karen is better at finding receptivity in students so that real learning can take place. She understands that the student is more important than her ego.”

“Karen is no-nonsense. She assessed my familiarity with a new distance-learning system and did not overdo her ministrations to me. Some trainers are too focused on their rules and regulations. Karen got the job done quickly and well, with no fuss or bother.”
