CAREER COACH

My name is Karen


Hello, my name is Karen Parker. I am a creative and innovative thinker with a nurturing nature. I love the concept of Career Coaching and being able to help Clients successfully transition into a new career.

I discovered my passion for career coaching after my department was abruptly eliminated when the company I had been working at for seven years decided to reorganize. Initially, I aimlessly applied for various jobs without any success. However, I soon realized that there had to be a better way. Motivated to find a solution, I embarked on extensive research and pursued studies to become a career coach.

Now, I am dedicated to helping individuals with their careers. As a facilitator and mentor, I emphasize empowering my clients to take charge of their professional lives. By staying up-to-date with the latest research and advancements in the field, I ensure that my methodology aligns with the best practices. Being a member of prestigious associations such as the National Career Development Association, the North Carolina Career Development Association, and Career Thought Leadership further demonstrates my commitment to excellence in this field.
