Testimonials
Sriharsha B, Coach
"It is my pleasure to write something about Karen Bruns as she was an integral part of my coaching journey.
I am super thankful for all the amazing help and advice she gave me while I was working on getting my Associate Certified Coach (ACC) certification from the International Coaching Federation. From the get-go, she was super smart about all the coaching stuff and really, really cared about me doing well.
Her chillness and willingness to get what I was going through was huge. She'd listen to me talk and then give feedback that was actually useful, which totally helped me get better at the coaching gig and feel like I could do it. Every time we talked, it felt like a safe place where I could spill my guts about the hard parts and the parts where I felt like a champ without worrying what she'd think about me.
What's really cool about Karen is that she's got this energy that makes you want to be better. She's totally into coaching and it's like you can feel it when you're around her. She'd share her own stories and tips, which made me see the whole thing in a different way and figure out how to do it my way.
Because of her being there for me, I not only got that ACC thing, but I also became a coach that I'm proud of. If you're looking for someone to help you with your coaching journey, she's the person.com :) She's an amazing mentor and I'm so lucky she was there with me through it all!"I am so grateful for Karen."

"Karen was an excellent trainer.
I have been on courses where the teacher would just quote the material. Karen brought the content to life and would flex the agenda based on the conversation or where our learning needs or thought processes took us on the day. Being able to do this with a large group with different needs is a great skill.
I really enjoyed the stories that Karen uses to make the content hit home too. I really enjoyed the course and the format really suited my learning style. I was able to reflect over the week, put things into practice and come back to learn deeper the next week.
The content was excellent, the models and strategies came in really useful for my context in transformation."

"Working with Karen as my ICF coach trainer has been an incredible self-reflection journey. She helped me to increase my self-awareness while working with clients, teaching me the power of silence, and how to observe the environment.
Karen’s coaching approach was very honest and to the point. She brought her vast experience to our sessions, offering invaluable guidance on how to engage with clients, support them effectively, and make coaching conversations feel more natural.
Karen taught me that sometimes, embracing uncomfortable silence can be a game-changer, sparking insights for both me and my clients. Karen also encouraged me to observe my reactions, which helped me improve my coaching skills by reflecting on how I could be more present.
I absolutely recommend Karen as an ICF coach, trainer, and mentor. Her broad experience, honesty, and ability to connect as a human being makes her an exceptional coach and a valuable teacher for anyone on their ICF journey."
