Leaving corporate america for solo entrepreneurship. What really happened?
Karen Walrond is a writer, photographer, author, and speaker — and that’s just during working hours. She’s also a licensed attorney + an engineer.
How did Karen go from being the Chief Counsel of one of the largest software companies in the oil & gas industry and the former Chief of Staff of a Fortune 200 company to author a best-selling book The Beauty of Different: Observations of a Confident Misfit, and the creative mind behind Chookooloonks, aTEDxHouston speaker and a press page that includes appearances on PBS, Huffington Post, CNN.com and The Oprah Winfrey Show?
Karen is here to share with you her personal transformation. I invite you to consider if this is possible for Karen, what is possible for you?
“Anytime I have done something purely for the money, it’s been a disappointment for everyone all around.”
