Karen Colligan is a leadership expert who is on a quest to equip new and advancing leaders to leverage their uniqueness, unleash their leadership potential, and become the leader only they can be.
Karen founded PeopleThink in 2000 and the name says it all. She has never wavered in her belief that people can do more and be more if they choose to. As a corporate leader, consultant, facilitator, and executive coach, she has helped numerous organizations develop and retain their most precious asset: their PEOPLE. She has created leadership initiatives and team initiatives, coached hundreds of leaders to create a vision, design goals toward that vision, and take action to achieve it.

Karen moved to Manhattan in November 2020 from San Francisco (yes, in the middle of a pandemic). She received her BS in Organizational Development from the University of San Francisco, and is an active member of the USF Mentoring Program. She is member of ProVisors New York, loves the Jersey Shore and seeing live music brings her great joy!
