"I have listened to tape one and I am very impressed. You did a wonderful job; the tape is both pleasing to listen to and very informative. Many people other than single women can benefit from the tools you have provided. I am hoping my own children will open their minds and reap the gold of your experiences and lessons from life."

"She was very down-to-earth and easy to understand. I also thought she was very qualified to speak on reaching your goals as she had done this even though she had experienced adversity in her life. It gives other people hope when they are faced with obstacles and wonder how they can ever reach their goals or even how to start to set their goals. I am glad I attended."

- Camille Briggs

“I loved Karen’s presentation. What was of value? If I had to select a single aspect of the presentation, it was probably the detailed explanation of how to actually set a goal and move through the goal evaluation process. She’s great!”
