Karen Marie begins with the end in mind, and promotes a healthier understanding of the whole person in relation to others and environment in order to develop a solid foundation for lasting change and continued personal growth. Without a change in thinking—which is brought on by increased understanding—there is no change in attitude or action. Karen-Marie promotes personal involvement in her seminars and training in order to affect a change in thinking, which leads to results.

Originally from the Champlain Valley, in up-state, New York, Karen Marie returned to the region about ten years ago after nineteen years in the Philadelphia and Washington DC areas. Her education includes a degree from Trinity College & University, a paralegal degree from The American Institute for Legal Studies, Leadership Development training from John Maxwell (previous to and including the international InJoy Group he now heads), Leadership Clinton, and numerous other programs of study. In recent years she has implemented concepts found in in-depth studies of ancient literature into modern parallels relating to the issues of communication and the human condition.

She is a member of the American Society of Training & Development, formerly licensed by Performax International and Carlson Learning. Her professional experience includes Sales and Recruitment Training, Communication, Motivation, Team Building, and Leadership Development, from a Fortune 500 to a non-profit framework, and from small groups to large. Locally, she has been a member of the Board of Directors of Friends of the North Country, and former fundraising chairperson; facilitated leadership conferences and other training for The Development Corporation; implemented and carried out an eighteen month training program for the Department of Social Services; served as a coach and consultant to numerous area businesses and community organizations such as Nine Platt Hospitality Group, JCEO, and, on a more integrated scale, The Federal Transportation Security Administration, US Office of Homeland Security.
