Great thought partner during a stressful transition
"Karissa was a great thought partner and coach during a stressful job transition for me. She really helped me to organize all of my thoughts and emotions into an action plan for both the short and long term when it comes to my career goals. She was especially good at summarizing our discussions into clear goals for me to work with."

Coaching integrates compassion, strategy, inquiry, and direction
Karissa is a gift...What has unfolded is a deepened awareness of the value of coaching, particularly coaching that integrates compassion, strategy, inquiry, and, "Where could we go from here?" disciplines into one. I am far more clear on what questions I need to focus on, and how I can explore them with more grace and consistency.

Organized the swirl of ideas in my head into a clear path forward
“Karissa helped me navigate a career transition after more than a decade with the organization. She supported me by helping me to organize the swirl of ideas in my head into a clear path forward by asking thoughtful questions that allowed me to think more deeply about what I wanted to pursue, as well as consider tradeoffs of various options.”
