ABOUT KAREN

Woven into Karen Greer's enthusiastic, supportive style is her 20+ years experience with people in transition. Gathered from her work with hundreds of clients in mid and late-life career changes, she guides individual and groups through their journey of work/life discovery inside educational institutions, companies, and non-profits.

In the early 90's, Karen discovered a passion for assisting people in having congruency about who they are and what they do-whether they're in midlife or a retirement phase. What better gift than to assist people in working from their strengths; to help them bring new life to their life. Using a finely-tuned intuitive process and tools like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, she invites her clients to gain insight into their core.
