Karen’s work with us as an executive coach has been instrumental in making our leadership team more effective. Over the past two years, I have trusted her to help guide me to the best possible decisions for my business. I have appreciated her support so much that I have had my entire leadership team spend time with her.

She really digs into what your goals are, how their important to you, and works diligently to formulate a plan. It ultimately takes your own hard work to realize them, but Karen's dedication to me as a client is a meaningful factor to how I was able to achieve them.

We are known for honing good leaders to Unforgettable ones, that Make a Difference in the world who build World-class organizational culture. KMP Consultants is revolutionizing the leadership consulting industry in two unique ways. The first way is in the firm’s consulting approach. It collaborates with clients to co-design processes and experiments that help them collect data on the behaviors that get them closer to their goals and interpret the results. The firm also uses state-of-the-art methods to develop managers and leaders to create dynamic cultures and accelerate results. The second way is with the people that it helps. The team specializes in working with senior leadership, many who hold postgraduate technical degrees. We know many of these leaders are well-versed in their field, but they are frequently lacking in leadership skills such as executive communication, delegation, and emotional intelligence. Karen knows firsthand the challenges of making the transition from subject matter expert to leader. She is dedicated to assisting people with not only learning the necessary skills but also discovering the unwritten “rules of the road” of the system that is preventing them from progressing. A subsidiary of TKPierce Enterprises, LLLP, KMP Consulting is led by Karen M. Pierce, a seasoned executive coach, with years of successful leadership experience under her belt. Together with other experts in management consulting, KMP offers the following services: Business Management Consulting, Culture Development, Change Leadership Consulting, Executive Coaching, and Organizational Management Development Leadership Courses.
