My Story

I am a Business & Personal Coach, passionate about personal empowerment, reaching for what we want, achieving our goals, and the power of coaching and mentoring.

I'm a seasoned Coach with many years Coaching and Mentoring experience and training. I fell in love with coaching when I attended an intensive coaching and mentoring program. I enjoy sharing my experience and knowledge to help others succeed and grow in their endeavors, so coaching and mentoring was a perfect fit. I also love that I get to work with so many wonderful people. Early in my career I was fortunate to have two mentors. I experienced firsthand the benefits of having a mentor and because of their willingness to offer guidance and support, I moved up the corporate ladder quickly.

I went on to have a successful 30+ year career in business. I experienced both the excitement and challenges of the business world, working for both large companies and small businesses, managing our own small business, and having a business selling my art. I experienced many successes and challenges while moving up the ladder in a male-dominated field. 

I've held positions of leadership in Supply Chain, Customer Service, and on many large-scale projects, such as building, openings, expansions and renovations of hotels, casinos, and restaurants. 

I received the President's Award for my role as a team member, tasked with taking a company of 300 employees, from failing to profitable and prevent it from closing. Our team was successful, and it was a wonderful experience to work together to ensure the company did not close its doors.

Supply Chain: I am highly skilled in Supply Chain, Managing Spending, Cost Savings, Negotiations, Purchasing, Materials Management, Supplier Relations, Supplier Diversity, etc.

Business Owner: In addition to having my business, Karen Avery Coaching LLC; I owned a small business creating and selling art, both online globally and in-person locally. I also managed our home renovation business.

In addition to my business experience, I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, Management and Operations
