Lead with Power and Grace

Embody the Art and Science of Conflict Mastery and Collaboration

FREE

Three-Day Challenge
one hour per day

 

Do you lead with power like the ocean,
or
do you feel like a boat being tossed on the surface in the storm of uncertainty?  

Even the most seasoned  leaders can be thrown out when turbulence doesn’t pause!

 

Many of the leaders I work with share these waves challenging their sea legs:

  • Unpredictable events and uncertainty of what is next
  • Disconnection, lack of control, and loneliness often experienced with virtual communication
  • Fear of not getting diversity and inclusion ‘right’
  • Destructive conflict provoked by a growing culture of division
  • Burnout from all of it

From Karen’s Clients and Readers
Here’s what people are saying about Spiral Impact.

“The Spiral Impact webinar was one of the best that I have attended to date. The design of the program allowed me time to practice my skills each week and receive personal attention from Karen to keep working on my problem areas. It was extremely helpful and I would recommend it to everyone.”

Jennifer F.

Nurse Executive, Western State Hospital

“Karen provided a number of tools and techniques for how to manage competing priorities within the workplace, creating alignment while remaining calm and balanced. Thank you, Karen and Spiral Impact for these practical and powerful tools.”

Bob R.

Director, Delta Faucet

“I loved the ways Karen challenged my assumptions.  I learned that within assumptions lies a prison that keeps me focused on what I assume to be right without allowing a more fluid approach to consider other possibilities. I’m grateful for our year-long engagement. Her coaching was transforming.”

William T.

Chaplain Director, Indiana University Health

“Spiral Impact has caused me to pause and realize how some simple changes I can make in my communication can have such a positive impact on outcomes. I like the short story examples the author shares. This is an easy read and one of those books you can pick any page and get valuable insights.”

Spiral Impact: The Power to Get It Done with Grace

Spiral Impact’s Roots in Aikido

Dive deep with my Belt Certification Program

The way we interact with the people, things, and ideas in our lives either gives us power and influence or takes them away. Embodying what I call True Power requires more than just knowing techniques. You must apply those techniques to the situations that arise in your life, study the outcomes, adjust your actions, and incorporate them into a framework of habits that support you. Spiral Impact is grounded in the martial art of aikido, which uses True Power — focused energy, knowledge, intention, and support — instead of force, to render an attack harmless. Aikido is brought to life on the mat, where practitioners sharpen their skills, work out frustrations, and own their power. Showing up on the mat gives practitioners a chance to exercise, elevate, and embody their skills. My Belt Certification Program invites you to step onto the Spiral Impact “mat” to sharpen skills and develop your own True Power — then apply them to your work, life, and relationships.
