Karen Colligan is on a quest to equip new and advancing leaders with the confidence and competencies to unleash their leadership potential, leverage their uniqueness, and strengthen their impact on your business.

Smart. Approachable. Applicable.
Karen has worked with leaders at all levels, in organizations large and small, to develop strategies to grow business, develop and retain talent, and accelerate performance. She understands the qualities and behaviors that make great leaders — and she recognizes they are not necessarily innate abilities.

Sink or Swim is not leadership development.
When people are not given the proper tools and resources to lead, they often fail. Karen believes that should never, ever happen, so she has taken it upon herself to make sure it doesn’t.

Leadership is a set of competencies. To ensure emerging leaders have the tools and resources they need to excel, Karen created her signature leadership development program: Keep it Real™ (KIR) Leadership. KIR employs a practical, real-word approach that is immediately applicable. 

Keep it Real. All day, every day.
Karen is known for keeping it real in everything she says, does, is. She always gives honest and constructive feedback that enables individuals to become the leaders only they can be. Using Karen’s characteristic expertise, style, and humor, Keep it Real™ Leadership is a comprehensive solution that enables small and midsize companies and organizations to recruit, train, and retain employees who are able to scale and grow the business.

Because leaders succeed when they Keep it Real™.

Panels are only as good as the conversations—and this one sparked the kind of dialogue we need: BlackHawk Data’s Women in Tech Panel. 

Our topic was “Claiming Your Seat and Owning Your Voice.” For me, the answer is simple:
1. Be prepared
2. Have a point of view
3. Be a curious and continuous learner

When you show up with preparation, perspective, and curiosity, your voice not only gets heard—it makes an impact.

A huge thank you to BlackHawk Data and my fellow panelists for such an inspiring conversation.

Maryann Pagano, Rita Barry, and Denise Natali
