The Wisdom Futurist:
An Oracle for Today and Tomorrow

A leading-edge futurist, educational gerontologist, strategic partner, world-class, high impact master coach, visionary game changer, firecracker keynoter & best-selling author, I boldly advocate for the new story of our AGE.

My mission is to make the future work by preparing you, your loved ones, your community, and your enterprises for an unfamiliar, always changing disruptive future—super charged by global megatrends with local impact, redefining our current VUCA times while future-casting our near and distant futures.

I’m an Ageless Visionary with Wrinkles who empowers people to rock their AGE.

I shine as an out-of-the-closet Transformational Disruptor^SM offering professional executive-leadership development steeped in my Whole Brain Foresight™ and Continuous Quality Improvement models and Ageless Way™ principles to integrate into your personal life and into your enterprise(s) and systems.

But most of all, I care. I care about how we, as human beings, show up in the world—regardless of our age or gender or life so far. I care about those people who believe that it’s too late for them or that their time has passed. I care equally for our younger generations too distracted by VUCA Times to explore and prepare for their longevity as Super Agers. I care about the future of education, especially adult education and the import of life long and long life learning.

I care because I want to tell them the truth: that it is possible to rock your AGE at any stage in life, and that the future is 100% theirs for the taking.

With a focus on Shaping a new Story of our AGE in the marketplace, workspace & your space, I guide go-getters, conscious entrepreneurs, trailblazers and visionary leaders who are ready to shape the world and their role in it. Most especially women…and the men who love and encourage us to be our greatest rendition of ourselves.

She is extremely effective as a speaker. Her on-air delivery is compelling. She is passionate, articulate, funny, intelligent and accessible. I would highly recommend Karen as a contributor for regular or guest spots or anyone interested in producing a successful radio program.
