At the International Coach Federation Conference in Orlando, Florida, keynote speaker and best selling author Peter Block said, “Community is the structure of belonging.” Then he followed it with, “We need the feminine in the workplace.”
What? I did a double take. I (and every woman reading this post) have known this for 30 years -it becomes ‘enlightening’ news because it is coming from Peter Block?
Thank you, Peter. I admire your courage for saying it, and, more importantly, meaning it.
I agree with everything Peter said – in fact, I agreed with it 30 years ago!
But is this revelation coming too late? [Read More]
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Fort Wayne, IN – March 31, 2010
The inventor of the principle “Influence It!” may very well be the world’s first Influence Expert for women.
Karen Keller firmly believes that when it comes to real power for women, every woman owes it to herself to have exactly what she wants. “Second best” and “almost” are not options for this creative spark plug who loves showing clients the secrets of using their natural power of influence as a woman—not “acting more like a man”—to excel in personal and professional life.
For twenty-five years, CEOs worldwide have been looking over the shoulder of the high level performance coach because of her proven track record in helping organizations and employees at companies such as American Express, Pizza Hut, and Indiana University Purdue University improve productivity, peer communication and profits.
Karen came to be known as “The Influence Expert” after her uncanny insights to human behavior helped to affect state policy decision-making in the courtroom and seal multi-million dollar deals in the boardroom.
Says Keller in a recent interview, “Your comfort zone is a mirror image of your self-image. If your self-image has its roots in fear, then you live your life based on that fear. And you stay in your comfort zone, missing out on golden opportunities and true potential. Given the right tools, the keys and a road map- freedom from a comfort zone can be found!“
A recent live webinar launched by Karen Keller International on the topic of seeking permission created a flurry of responses which led Keller to publish a new CD, “Escape Your Comfort Zone.”
Escape from your comfort zone, identify what might be holding you back, simple strategies to breakthrough and long term resolution.

Dr. Keller also publishes a twice weekly free newsletter on tips and strategies for women in life and business.

We have a responsibility toward other women to support them in [Read More]
When did you last search for your voice? Was it MIA (missing in action)?
This voice lives in your mind, your heart and your soul. It leads you to self discovery. Using your voice is the surest way to build connections, find solutions and live in truth. I want to hear your voice not a pseudo rendition of it. It helps me to understand and appreciate not only you but what you believe.
Having a voice is your birthright.
What happens when you don’t find your voice? [Read More]
Create the life you want
You don’t need to rely on others to get your needs met. Responsibility for happiness is yours. Your self-esteem is found deep inside. You surround yourself with positive energy.
You surround yourself with empowering and supportive friends. You require a profession, career, or business that expresses your skills, smarts, and passions.
Acknowledge your spiritual journey
You know you are connected to a power greater than yourself. Your spiritual path is freeing to your being. Influence means congruency, influence or ‘inner fluency’. The success of your inner fluency is [Read More]
