Karin E. Mayer, Leadership Coach &
Former Deloitte Managing Director
You’re a high-achieving leader in consulting with an impressive track record. The kind of leader your firm relies on.
But lately, the career that once defined you no longer fits the life you want. Your priorities have shifted, and the thought of another decade of 60-hour weeks and constant travel feels unsustainable.
You’re questioning whether to stay, pivot, or leave entirely, but every option feels risky. You don’t want to make the wrong move, waste what you’ve built, or trade one set of problems for another.
You’ve talked to others, explored opportunities, and considered pushing through. Yet nothing fully clicks, leaving you stuck between exhaustion and uncertainty.
What you really want is clarity:
What do you actually want?
What kind of career fits your life now?
How do you make a strategic decision without regret?
You want a path forward that leverages everything you’ve built without being trapped by it.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Rachael, Consulting Manager
In a short amount of time, Karin helped me gain real clarity about my next career move and dig deep into what was holding me back. What really stood out was her communication between sessions; she checked in regularly, which kept me accountable and showed she was genuinely invested in my progress. Her style is both caring and empowering, and I left our sessions feeling more focused and motivated than when I arrived. If you're looking for a coach who is thoughtful, attentive, and truly committed to helping you find your direction, I definitely recommend Karin!
"I came to Karin at a really low point, and I'm leaving the happiest I've felt in a long time, both personally and professionally. I worked with her across an entire year (two rounds of sessions), and the investment was worth every moment. She helped me build practical skills I use every day: how to set boundaries that actually stick, how to look at everything on my plate and distinguish between what only I can do versus what should be delegated, and how to reframe saying no as saying yes to the things that matter most to me.
Over time, those skills gave me the clarity to recognize what a better fit looked like for my life, and Karin helped me navigate that transition with confidence.
I left with a new role I love, stronger boundaries, and the tools to maintain the balance I was working toward. I've already recommended Karin to multiple colleagues, and if you're considering working with her, don't wait as long as I did to start."
Working with Karin has been a transformative experience. She helped me gain clarity during a pivotal career crossroads, guiding me through a thoughtful assessment of my professional goals. Her insight into leveraging my existing network opened new doors I hadn’t considered.
Thanks to Karin's strategic coaching, I feel more confident and empowered to navigate my next chapter.

Senior Consultant
"I had the best experience with Karin through KEM Leadership Coaching. Her guidance and strategies helped me reach the clarity I needed for my career goals, and she helped me carve out the next steps needed to reach those goals.
Karin also helped me better understand myself and how to maintain the boundaries that I set, enabling me to find harmony within my work-life balance.
For the first time in months, I am at peace. And for the first time in a couple years, I feel like I am in the driver's seat of my career again."
"Working with Karin was truly a pleasure. As a fellow woman in consulting navigating constant expectations and pressures, I felt understood by her from the very beginning - often before I even had to explain myself. Karin provided thoughtful guidance and steady support through every challenge I brought to her, whether it was preparing for difficult conversations or learning to set healthy boundaries while maintaining balance and well-being.
I deeply appreciated her level-headed approach, insight, and encouragement. Her support empowered me during a pivotal stage in my career, and I will always be grateful for the confidence she helped me build."
Tyler B, Divisional President
"I began our coaching relationship with no prior experience with a professional / career coach. Initially, I didn't know precisely what I wanted to work on which was in part due to the fact that I didn't fully appreciate what coaching was all about. However, we quickly began focusing on my executive presence, ability to provide critical feedback to my team in real time, and how to navigate complicated corporate dynamics in an ever-changing executive landscape at Arch.
After a year of coaching, I am a more polished professional and have a higher degree of confidence when interacting with senior colleagues and am also a more effective leader when it comes to addressing issues where we can improve in real-time. Karin was instrumental in my personal and professional growth and I look forward to applying that which we worked on over the coming years to continue growing as a leader."
Kate K, HR Strategy & Operations Leader
“Karin was a great coach to work with! She asked thoughtful questions that allowed me the space I needed to reflect while also helping me see see things from another perspective. Working with Karin allowed me to see the assumptions I was making and that I had a habit of standing in my own way.”
