Hi, Friend!

I'm Kara...

A leadership coach, mom of 3, pastor's wife, and former overwhelmed leader who used to lose sleep over hard conversations.

Early in my leadership journey, I thought being a “good boss” meant avoiding conflict, protecting everyone’s feelings, and quietly carrying the weight of the whole team on my shoulders. Sound familiar?

But here’s what I learned: culture isn’t built through silence or sugarcoating. It’s built through everyday conversations—honest, kind, clear ones—even when they’re hard.

Everything changed when I started asking better questions, speaking the truth with care, and trusting my team enough to stop over-functioning. Our connection deepened. Our performance improved. And I finally stopped dreading every 1:1 or staff meeting.

Now I help leaders do the same.

Through coaching, speaking, my podcast (The Better Conversations Podcast), and the Better Conversations Newsletter, I equip mission-driven leaders with the tools to give feedback that builds trust, lead meetings that actually matter, and create cultures people want to stay in.

Because better conversations really do build better cultures.
And leadership doesn’t have to feel so heavy.
