Personal Empowerment Expert

The Recovering Excuse Maker™, Karen Gridley, holds up a mirror for people so they can see themselves and their lives. What do they often see? Blaming, excuses, gremlins, ineffective communication and unfulfilled outcomes.

As a professional speaker, author and life coach Karen masterfully guides people through the art of transformation. Individuals gain personal empowerment skills resulting in greater effectiveness, lower stress and improved communication. Organizations experience improved morale, greater individual responsibility, and increased productivity and efficiency.

Karen delivers customized, thought-provoking content, practical tools and real-life examples in a humorous manner. Audiences relate to her genuine, dynamic and personable approach.

Examination of the invisible to understand the visible leads people to succeed personally and professionally.
