Bio
Melissa Shostak
Few people have the opportunity to work for a leader who is both a coach and a mentor — but I did when I worked for Karen. I had the pleasure of working for Karen for two + years at MPI on several instructional design projects. I was particularly impressed with Karen’s ability to work with the toughest business groups effortlessly. She is able to get everyone onboard her team by offering experience, guidance, and effective feedback. No matter how tight a timeline, Karen always made an effort to provide words of encouragement, motivating all those around her to reach for more. Karen would be an asset to any team requiring compassionate and effective leaders and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.
Laura Kemp
I enjoyed all my years working with Karen. She brings both sales and customer service expertise to everything she does. Whether she is handling an escalated call or training on a new product, Karen will have it done right. Her attention to detail is far above most people and her compassion for people is amazing. Karen is self motivated and a strong leader.
