“How do leaders create a climate that fosters creative innovations, all-out performance or warm and lasting customer relationships? Organizations everywhere need to realize the benefits of cultivating leaders who generate the emotional resonance that lets people flourish.”
—Daniel Goldman & Anne McKee
“I have watched Karen Buckley conduct more than one of her Wisdom Leadership Forums, The Wisdom and Power of Women Leaders, when one of the giant lawyers in merger acquisitions in the country cried at the recognition that the women speakers have fully and seamlessly integrated business and the common good into one motion. Karen has the ability to touch this place in people. It is rare and powerful…and edifying in the deepest way.”
