Karen Colligan

Karen Colligan is a dyed-in-the-wool Jersey girl whose "get real" approach and quick sense of humor have inspired leaders, teams and individuals to achieve peak performance. As a corporate leader and sought-after consultant, Karen has helped transform organizations through a simple mantra: Take care of your people and they'll take care of your business. Her engaging style and vast expertise make her a popular speaker at cross-industry venues, sales meetings, and corporate conferences.

Karen migrated a number of years ago from New Jersey to San Francisco, and loves both the East and West Coast – just as long as she is near the ocean. She is an avid runner, and loves music, cooking and bringing people together for good food and lots of laughter. She does NOT believe that curiosity killed the cat, and her adventurous spirit keeps her bucket list growing!

Karen lives her life following the wise words of Oscar Wilde: “Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.”
