WHO'S KAREN?
Hi, I'm Karen.
I’ve spent 25+ years building brands, businesses and communities.
From leadership roles at Microsoft and venture-backed startups to mentoring entrepreneurs and the work I do today. I've met some fascinating people along the way. And I've often wondered:
Why do some people seem to encounter more opportunity than others?
After years of observation and thousands of conversations, I began to recognize a pattern. These people weren't simply luckier. They were more curious, more open to unexpected connections, and more willing to explore possibilities they hadn't planned for.
They were creating the conditions for serendipity.
I realized that I too have been cultivating serendipity in my own life. My knack for creating my own luck even earned a nickname: “Karendipity.” But what I once thought was a natural gift turned out to be something a set of behaviors that anyone can learn and practice.
And that's what inspired Karen's Connection Circle.
Today, I help individuals and organizations cultivate these same behaviors, creating more opportunities for meaningful connections, fresh ideas, unexpected discoveries, and a little more magic in everyday life.
