“Karen has over the years been the very best advisor: practical and strategic, not afraid to say the things I need to hear, but always from a place of care. Business ownership can be so lonely, and Karen is someone I call on when I need a sounding board, when I need to make a hard decision, and when I need to confirm that I’m on the right track. Her experience is deep, and it allows her to speak with confidence, but her innate warmth is just as valuable. I’m lucky to have Karen on my team!”
— Elizabeth Nathan, owner; Eb & Bean, Portland, OR

“I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Karen. The value of her calm and educated guidance and presence is truly immeasurable."

Claire Teasdale, Rain OR Shine Coffeehouse, Portland, OR

“As a leader in a small business, I am often left to pave my own way and drive the positive change that I want to see in the company. With Karen's guidance, I was able to more deeply connect with who I am and what strengths I bring to the table. I explored where I wanted to take the company as well as my own life. It's easy to get tunnel vision within your own company. Karen's outside perspective was so valuable to help me grow beyond our company's experiences and resources. She challenged me without pushing too hard, leaving me with questions that I could explore and report back on. After a year of coaching I had evolved and grown in both my personal and professional life.”

“Karen Guth has a knack for picking up on the "root" of the issue. When a challenge affecting our company felt like a tangled mess, Karen seemed to know just which thread to tug. I appreciated how she helped my business partner and I navigate challenges unique to co-ownership. We were able to apply her strategies to situations both within and outside of the context of our company, and our relationship was absolutely strengthened as a result of her mentorship. In addition to being an experienced and effective consultant, Karen is a pleasure to work with and learn from. Her approach is insightful, honest, and creative. She is committed to the health and success of the client as well as that of their business. Her solutions are effective long term because they really take into account the person who will be implementing them. A client can expect to grow both personally and professionally with Karen.”

Molly Boyl, Rain OR Shine Coffeehouse, Portland, OR

“I sure benefited from your perspectives last year, and I’m certain all who work with you will also experience the benefits of your expansive thinking and deep insights! Our project evolved, of course, with more wacky twists and turns, but I felt more empowered to better respond along the way after receiving your guidance.”

Andie Thrams, Artist, Coloma, CA

We really value her ability to help with a wide spectrum of our needs as small business owners—everything from delving into the nitty gritty financials to broader efforts such as getting clarity on our values, vision and purpose. As an entrepreneurial couple, we have appreciated her relevant insights on working together and balancing work with family. And, with her warm and caring personality, she is simply a pleasure to work with!"
