“Karen has been a tremendous help in moving my career forward. Since last September, I launched my website, released an album as a co-leader, successfully pulled off a move to a new city, and more, all with her guidance through weekly coaching. Karen’s music industry knowledge, training in emotional intelligence, commitment to organization and accountability, as well as her motivation and emotional support have all had a meaningful impact on the direction of my career and my life as a whole!”

“Working with Karen has been transformational for both my personal brand and my business. Her hands-on approach has assisted me in streamlining my business practices, organizing my team to be more efficient, and assisted me in reducing stress and creating a clearer picture of my future career goals. All of this is on top of the stellar representation she provides with my commissions and residencies, and the beautiful new website her team put together to elevate my brand. If you have the chance to work with Karen, jump on it right away and don't look back.”

“I have worked with Karen and KCA since 2021 regarding a variety of things from project management for my solo album, photoshoots, coaching, and social media guidance. Prior to the pandemic I hosted an annual Trombone Day that usually had about 50-60 attendees. Starting in 2022, I collaborated with KCA for these events expanding them to include more vendors, guest artists, and increased marketing strategies that resulted in an average of 150+ attendees. This year we have expanded to include all brass for our first ever Southern Miss Brass Symposium. Again, I am collaborating with KCA and I am excited to see how this inaugural event turns out! Karen is decisive, goal-oriented, and gets things done. I enjoy working with her and her team.”

“I loved all of Karen's talks, and all of them were extremely insightful and helpful. Similar to the comment on the audition/recital talk, perhaps during the enneagram discussion there could be a time for group discussion where people who are comfortable doing so could share what goals they have in finding more about the enneagram and how their personality relates to the enneagram. Thank you very much for the wonderful material for me to incorporate into my daily life! The enneagram as well as the other material you presented has had a very positive influence on my mindset both inside and outside the practice room.”
