Dr.Karen Otazo’s Summary
I am a consultant and global executive coach for multinational companies worldwide with more than twenty-five years of experience “Mentoring the Mentors” to maximize the effectiveness of leadership in organizations in the United States, China, Indonesia, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Singapore. I am also fluent in English, Spanish, French, Indonesian, and Mandarin Chinese.
My blue-chip client list includes BoozAllen Hamilton, Chase Bank, Colgate-Palmolive, Credit Suisse First Boston, The Economist Group, General Electric, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Marks & Spencer, Motorola, Pepsico, Time International, and Vodafone. I am also the established author of THE TRUTH ABOUT MANAGING YOUR CAREER and THE TRUTH ABOUT BEING A LEADER along with numerous articles. I have also done countless interviews and keynote speaking engagements worldwide with a committed involvement in Vital Voices Global Partnership.
I have taken an active role in non-profit, ngo, organizations globally and locally. My focus is to empower women through leadership work with Vital Voices and also through a project to create a simple, open-source template to start a business. Women exemplify a majority of the traits associated with effective leadership and entrepreneurship yet all too frequently do not know how to put their skills to work. Since women and people of color are a huge source of the new entrants into small business development worldwide, I am working Neighborhood Centers in Houston to create an online publication in Spanish which can then be used for Latino-American women. My hope is that if the approach proves useful that the publication can be translated into other languages with appendices for the specifics in each locale.
