Kareen emphasizes the importance of addressing challenges directly to improve the app. The app aims to clone her methodologies and provide actionable advice at any time. Kareen shares her excitement about using technology to scale her impact and reach a broader audience more efficiently. Kareen's Professional Background and Challenges Kareen started as an entrepreneurial business coach and investor with a tech delivery background. She faced challenges in scaling her coaching business because clients wanted her specific expertise. To overcome this, she developed the Hey Kareen app, which leverages technology to provide her guidance and support. This innovation allows her to focus more on her clients and business coaching. Executive Leadership Coaching Kareen’s coaching process involves discussing year-long goals with leaders, identifying team members responsible for each initiative, and building trust with the team. She aims to understand the leaders' guiding forces and success definitions. Kareen highlights the importance of assessing whether the team can achieve set goals and building relationships for efficient execution. Personal Development and Overcoming Self-Doubt Kareen advises identifying negative emotions like frustration, resentment, or anger that hinder progress. She emphasizes articulating unexpressed desires or thoughts to alleviate conflict. Self-love and self-worth are crucial for improving communication and relationships. Kareen also shares her experience with the fear of public speaking and how she developed the Hey Kareen app to support audience engagement post-speech. Building Communication Skills Kareen encourages self-questioning to clear doubts and gain confidence. Voicing or writing down unexpressed thoughts helps practice clear articulation and reduces relational tension. Joe and Kareen also discuss the fear of success, which often creates blocks due to the pressures of new responsibilities. Monthly Retrospectives and Accountability Kareen conducts monthly retrospectives to assess progress toward business or personal goals. She increased these sessions to weekly while working towards a seven-figure business and publishing a book. Kareen emphasizes celebrating successes as a way to boost energy for tackling challenges. She conducts a monthly free call with her community for self-assessment, asking key questions like: - What do you need to stop doing? - What do you need to start doing? - What action will you take? Entrepreneurial Strategy and Time Management Kareen transitioned from a strategic consultant in tech to scaling her business by changing her mindset. She aimed to grow from a six-figure income to a seven-figure business by leveraging relationships and market trust. Kareen focuses on spending only 10% of her time on active business management, enabling efficient operation and personal freedom. She highlights the importance of having clear goals and a structured approach.
