Sustainable Change. Lasting Impact.
i support you on every step of your journey
Why i made it my mission to help you navigate change
“I want to make strategic change expertise accessible to leaders doing meaningful work without enterprise budgets.
My goal is to help these organizations design and implement changes that don't just succeed but create lasting impact.”
Dr. Karen Mitchell
Over the past decade, I've navigated loss, family transitions, and cross-country moves —all while earning my doctorate in Organizational Change and Leadership. Studying change while living it taught me: transformation needs both strategic frameworks and human insight.
I've guided corporate leaders through complex shifts. I've seen what works—and what separates failed initiatives from lasting change.
But there's a gap. Nonprofits and social enterprises face equally hard transitions with far fewer resources. They're left figuring it out alone or using generic advice that doesn't fit their mission-driven reality.
Change that strengthens people, culture, and community
collective
approach
I believe thoughtful, well-designed change creates lasting positive impact—for organizations, their people, and the communities they serve. My mission is to help leaders navigate transitions in ways that build resilience, strengthen culture, and create capacity to adapt.
Social Enterprise Commitment
Change strategy consulting should be accessible to all types of organizations—not just corporations.
My pricing model reflects the financial realities of mission-driven organizations, and Change Design Collective also offers pro bono opportunities.
I work alongside your internal teams—bringing strategic expertise while respecting the institutional knowledge they have.
Together, we apply proven change frameworks tailored to your context to create solutions that actually work.
My focus is on practical solutions that strengthen rather than strain your organization—whether you're dealing with resistance to change, aligning everyone around a new direction, or building capabilities that scale with your growth.
