Coaching Testimonials

Business Coaching

"Working with Karen Steede-Terry has been an amazing and the best experience as a business coach! Karen kept me focused and gave me input on the format of my book and publishing options. She saved me money, time and headache. The next phase Karen assisted me in was the next level of my business, since the business owner always has so much to do, she helped me break everything down into manageable steps and goals. I feel much more confident now using my time and energy wisely. I recommend that every business owner hire Karen Steede-Terry as their business coach or book consultant."

"I talked with Karen prior to starting my own business. She gave me a lot of good ideas, and coached me throughout the process. Today I have been self-employed for 8 years, and I have always had work and been busy. Getting started without her expertise would've taken me a lot longer and my 'start-up phase' would've been a lot tougher without her help. If you are thinking about going out on your own, then I highly recommend hiring Karen to coach you through the process."

Life Coaching

“One reason that I talk to Karen is because I need to think of the future more and to plan for it more versus just living in the ‘here-and-now.’”

"Karen asked me important questions that I was either too lazy or too scared to ask myself. I was living day-to-day with no goals and no plan, and Karen forced me to reevaluate where I was in life."

"Thank you for your call today. The questions you use and the sequence are illuminating. They help your conversant focus."

"Karen is a very good coach. Rather than 'stay the course' regarding my life goals, I was ready to quit. But Karen persisted and I changed my mind and decided to stick to the program. When Karen and I work together, I feel the 'Aha!' moment on many occasions."

Fertility Coaching

“I was feeling completely isolated during my fertility treatment. All of my friends drifted away because they could not empathize with what I was going through. Karen helped me figure out that friendships are based on similarities, and if you don’t have the commonalities then you won’t have the friendships. After that I was able to get in touch with a support group who could understand and relate to what I was going through.”

"It was very helpful to find a coach who actually understands the emotional ups-and-downs of fertility treatment. I enjoyed talking to Karen because she has been through it and not only understands the vernacular, but also can empathize with what you are going through, which is very important. There are not many people who have that ability."

"I was so excited to finally get pregnant that I didn't think about what comes next. Karen made me stop and think about what would happen after the baby was born. She truly helped me because I honestly had not thought that far ahead."
