From Clayton Christensen: "Karen managed to translate complex
thoughts into something that is both clear and powerful at the
same time. Karen writes by understanding my mind and my heart
simultaneously and has done a beautiful job capturing both.
As a writer, she is unsurpassed. She truly has been an invaluable
thought partner, collaborator, and friend. I feel sorry for anyone
who doesn't have the chance to work with Karen."
