This past year has been challenging for all of us—and it has been a profound teacher. I’ve learned more about myself, about others, and about the transformative power of resilience and intention. It has given me a new lens through which I see the world.
I’ve come to believe that setting an intention is the first step onto a courageous new path. When a colleague asked me about my values, I could answer with clarity: Courage, Connection, and Freedom. His follow-up question, though, went deeper: What does it mean to truly live them in all their forms?
For me, this meant passionately giving space for my values to operate in all areas of my life—ultimate congruence. And it means being of service: helping people discover their own values and activate them in the way they live, love, work, and lead.
Congruence matters. I partner with leaders who are ready to align their strengths with their core values, creating deeper meaning in their work. Together, we activate your internal compass so that inspiration and courage become daily practices—not distant ideals.
It’s not about being fearless. It’s about choosing to step into vulnerability, moving forward despite the fear—because what’s waiting on the other side can no longer wait.
I am a certified Executive Coach and Consultant with 30+ years of experience spanning corporate, academic, medical, government, and non-profit sectors. As President of Karen Senteio Consulting, I help leaders and organizations cultivate courageous, agile, and intentional leadership to thrive in the face of constant change.
My credentials include completing Brené Brown’s Daring Way™ and Dare to Lead™ certifications, Red Team Coaching Certification, and practitioner designations with Lumina Learning and Shift+. A lifelong learner, I bring a rich toolkit of approaches that expand leaders’ capacity for diverse problem-solving, authentic connection, and bold decision-making.
I partner with leaders ready to lean into vulnerability as a catalyst for growth—helping them design unique blueprints for sustainable inspiration, resilience, advocacy, and impact. Together, we build courageous organizations rooted in connection, engagement, and belonging, where leaders show up fully, are seen, and lead with purpose.
