Whether you are looking for a thought-partner or an external facilitator, we consider you to be a key partner in designing the roadmap for your success. You may want to invest in a one-to-one growth journey or seek solutions for your team. 

Entire organizations can improve when leaders increase their capacity and thrive. Through individual coaching, you can overcome blind spots and become free from limiting assumptions. An executive coach is a thought partner, trusted professional, and source of accountability who provides external insights to discover both the bigger picture and your self-limiting beliefs. Individual coaching can help you take action and accelerate your path to achieving goals.

Increase collaboration and maximize the capacity of your team through facilitated workshops and processes. Creative solutions are built through tapping into the uncovered thinking of teams through tailored LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® workshops. Or, using the design thinking process, we engage your team in a process that creates a product, process, or service that truly meets the needs of your clients. 

We met overseas while serving in Japan and quickly discovered our common faith, interests, and passions. Over the years, our bookshelves have filled up with HBR publications and leadership best-sellers that we bought at airport kiosks. We are avid learners about leadership and service, which fuels our morning conversations over coffee and evening walks. 

Basically, we geek out on research, new ideas, and finding ways to drive toward excellence! We love to learn, grow, and find joy in leading others to succeed.

We raised our two adult children overseas in Indonesia and China and loved discovering the world with them.

Karin’s leadership with LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® is to be complimented! As an educator and leader with a philosophy of “play that invites learning,” Karin’s work and contributions to our organization’s growth in collaboration is to be recognized. Karin uses easy-to-understand concepts that allow LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® participants freedom in creating their understandings and thoughts, which are then shared with others. Time goes by quickly when you are busy – busy with LEGO® and busy thinking! –Dr. Drew Gerdes, professor

Dr. Eric Semler has been a remarkable mentor for me during my tenure as Assistant Principal at Concordia International School Shanghai. He has helped me develop my leadership skills and competencies, and has challenged me to grow and improve in every aspect of my role. He has also supported me in implementing various initiatives and projects that have enhanced the academic and co-curricular programs of the school. He has always been available to offer his advice and guidance, and to provide me with constructive feedback and encouragement. Working with Dr. Semler has been a rewarding and enriching experience, and I have learned a lot from his expertise and wisdom. –Dawn DeKoker, educational leader

As a person trying coaching for the first time, Karin is an excellent choice. You can get a sense of security from her warm eyes. She is very empathetic person, always puts herself in my shoes and helped me discover how to be a better person. She is not only my teacher, but also a trustworthy friend. After coaching, I can obviously feel more confident and calm in dealing with customers and people around me. Thank you, Karin from bottom my heart. I hope everyone can meet someone like you in their life. –Mavis Tan, HaiPointe Culture Company

Dr. Eric Semler served at Concordia International School for 14 years and is highly regarded among staff, students, parents, and administrators. Eric was known in our school community as a kind, collaborative, ethical, and inclusive leader. Eric’s integrity and sincere care for people make him one of the best educational leaders I have had the pleasure of working with in the past 19 years as a school counselor in Asia. – Dr. Ben Fishman, Counselor at Concordia International School Shanghai

Over the years, Karin has facilitated multiple workshops and ideation sessions for our NGO team. Each time, the resulting discussions and insights have proven to be surprising and inspiring, and have helped us to move forward with renewed purpose and energy. It’s clear that without Karin’s well-designed activities and skilled guidance, we wouldn't have experienced these results and insights on our own. –Josh Lange, CWEF executive director
