"Karl is a skillful, knowledgeable, open-hearted leader who is a gifted teacher. He artfully and soulfully nurtured a container in which each participant shared deeply, laughed joyfully, tried new behaviors, and gave support to each other."
James Crowfoot
Professor, University of Michigan -
“Thank you from the depths of my heart for doing and sharing this work in the world. I am feeling reconnected to the essence of what truly matters to me – life, care, awakened consciousness. It feels so good to care about the well being of myself, others and the planet. Thank you for the reminder of the need for collaboration and community in the re-awakening process.”
Erica Kriss
Workshop Participant -
"While our work is technical, almost all of the things that prevent great individual and team performance is that working with people is just, plain, challenging. Karl’s approach to communication helps give people important tools to collaboratively work through issues in a way that builds trust and alignment while resolving conflict."
John Vechey
Co-Founder, Pluto VR & PopCap Games -
“Working with Karl, I experienced an awakening of the wholeness of my Self. With deep listening and warm acceptance, Karl created a space where my whole Self could come to the table, find deeper connection and compassion, and grow. Karl gracefully balanced reverence for my own wisdom and path with gentle encouragement and guidance, helping me to author my own healing, and celebrating with me the joys I found along the way. I am deeply grateful.”
Katelyn B.
Coaching Client -
"Thank you for a deeply moving two days where I learned more about getting deeply in touch with that shaky, uncertain place in myself where I can feel within and see and listen to other people more clearly. Your communication style gets through all my defenses as I do this work."
Arlyn Osborne
Trauma Therapist -
"Karl has remarkable experience in dealing with conflict and led such an enjoyable, gentle and peaceful discussion. He has a way of not lecturing, which I often find tiring, but rather encouraging us to make our own inquiry in self reflection and small group discussion."
Lyndall Parris
Founder & Director, Narara Ecovillage -
"I enjoyed so many things – the process, the results, the way Karl held it, the way he followed the humor and brought lightness, yet still focus to the process, the questions and his holding of those questions, the tracking of time so we could get to the “big” items, his sensitivity and care, him meeting us where we’re at in use of language, and his value of co-creating with his invitation to offer things and also be willing to shift with what others wanted."
Marcia Christen
Lead Trainer, Compassionate Language -
"Karl has an incredible energy to facilitate all day and be available in the morning and evening for fun activities. His sense of playfulness is refreshing and inspiring. I realized how much fun it is to be in my body, to play with others and simply enjoy being together. Thanks for walking your talk."
