Raving Reviews and Feedback

“Karen Armon is an engaging, intelligent and enabling coach with a refreshing and thought provoking approach to deconstructing the traditional thinking of accomplishments and capabilities in order to redefine value. She has developed a pragmatic series of exercises that articulate and present core strengths, critical thinking and individual goals in a way that is structured, practical, distinguished and most importantly marketable.” 

Sean H. - CEO/President - High-Tech Industry

 

“Absolutely the keeper of the gospel for career change & development in 2011. Nails the reality of the "new" career paradigms: you are a brand, and must always market yourself. Don't chase the job; go be the solution. She will quickly pick up on your own position & style, and help you "fine tune" your process. Karen is honest, refreshing and thoughtful in her counseling, emails, and book (a must-read for serious career self-managers)!”  

Greg D. - Senior Executive, Media

Jeff C. - Vice President/CMO, Consumer Brands 

“I have been working with Karen since December of 2010. Having Karen as a mentor for my career is one of the best decisions I have made. Karen is part coach and part therapist....she really takes a deep dive into your career, and your personality, to help you understand why you're in the role you have and how to make positive changes. On top of that, she's just a darn nice person. Can't say enough good things, highly recommended....”

“Since engaging Karen 2006, her work continues to resonate along my professional paths. Karen's crisp, clear, concise insights are timeless, measurable and useable in this second decade of the new millennium. She continues to inspire and guide long after an engagement ends.”

Ellen H. - Small Business Owner 

 

“I first met Karen when she did an online webinar on "12 Ways to Jump Start your Job Search." I was impressed with the thought process that went into the presentation and the methodology on how one should go about it. At the time, we started the Career Coaching, I needed to understand what I wanted to do and how I should go about it. Karen's coaching style is to go through multiple exercises (assignments) that make you review your experiences and to develop your personal brand on what is important to you, what do you want to do, and what do you bring to an organization to make it successful and great. Karen brought a lot of value to me and I have no hesitation to recommend Karen as a career coach. She provides a fantastic service.”
