Karen Lum, Business Coach

I’m Karen, Business Co-Pilot, Coach and Trainer. This year marks 25 years of facilitating groups and navigating the world of business. If you don’t know much about what I do or the philosophy I bring to my work, read on, my friend! I feel incredibly fortunate to engage in the work I do each day. I am humbled on a daily basis as I sit with incredible people, with huge, courageous hearts, bringing their dreams to life and learning about themselves in the process. As a workplace trainer, I create space for teams to pull back from their daily operations to build new skills, seek fresh perspectives, and re-energize their spirits. I engage with teams of all sizes through custom workshops on relationship sales, leadership, customer service, culture, and communication. In my coaching work, I support individuals and business partners in the big work of slowing down to get ahead. We analyze, brainstorm, dream, plan, solve and strategize together. My clients are always in the driver’s seat and I am a thought partner. My version of business coaching is a combination of hard work, self-reflection and deep support. We can talk through hard things, and build out plans and roadmaps, while also laughing at the parts of business that make us crazy. 🤪 📸: @brightsidemt

How lucky we are. Yes I’m a business coach but I’m also a human and I believe there will be nothing more valuable in the age of AI than humans sitting across from one another, witnessing each other and holding space for what it is to navigate this life together - in work, in families, in community, in love and in loss. Let’s make sure of it. ( and I am absolutely embracing AI in ways that make sense for me but I am also paying attention to the ways in which it won’t serve the higher good).

Here’s the thing, we GET to be here. Let’s make sure we are focused on what really deeply matters. Let’s be careful about the pressures we put on each other and the “race” to some end result we perceive ( that has actually all been humanly designated and can be changed by the same humans). Let’s not wait and save all our money for someday when we “earn” time to enjoy life. If you don’t like how you are showing up in life or the circle of people you find yourself coworking or existing with - change it. I’m not saying it’s easy but I am saying it’s worth it. My precious neighbor was hit by a car while on her morning run last week. It sucks deeply and on every level. She was a mom, a wife, a daughter, a friend and a nurse. I wake up every day thinking of her and all the humans in my life I wish I had more time with on this earth. I dance because I can and it makes me happy. It dissolves the pressures that mostly I put on myself as a mom, business owner and adult. It helps me stay connected to my JOY and it regulates my nervous system. For you it might be dancing or it might be something else entirely. Whatever YOUR things are do them more and do them now. #onelifetolive #businesscoach #businesscopilot #bozemanbusiness #livehuddle

Post-Huddle VIBES!!! All I can hope is that just a tiny bit of this energy rubs off on you today… that you can take a deep breath and hold space for any heartache, fear or pain AND ALSO hold space for the light and goodness too. I’ve got some work to do to get my dog on a higher vibration morning but all we can do is start with ourselves, right?!! If you want to join the next FREE ZOOM HUDDLE we gather the first Monday of every month. March 2nd is the next event. You grab your coffee and a notebook and I do all the heavy lifting including the dancing ( although you are encouraged to join in!). Video camera off or on - doesn’t matter just BE THERE. Wishing you a February with lots of evidence of JOY and LOVE. Go SLAY the dragons. ✌️ #dancingbusinesscoach #businesscopilot #montanabusinesscoach #bozemanbusiness #bigskybusiness
