Karen Walrond

J.D., CDTLF

An attorney, author, and leadership coach, Karen is a trusted partner with pLink Leadership®, partnering with us to bring her unique perspectives and strengths to the work we do in the world.

Because of Karen’s diverse legal, corporate, and creative background, she focuses on topics as wide-ranging as leadership, diversity, self-image, creativity, social media, and human resource issues. She’s also a Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator, trained in Brené Brown’s work on vulnerability, courage, empathy, and worthiness. Her keynotes and workshops include these concepts, specifically addressing how vulnerability – the ability to show up in the midst of uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure – is the strongest measure of courage that we have, courage which can help foster innovation and creativity. Further, she has trained in positive psychology coaching with the Wholebeing Institute, using the science of well-being and research-based assessments and interventions to bring about greater satisfaction, purpose, and fulfillment in life.

She is the creative mind behind the award-winning website Chookooloonks.com, an inspirational source for living with intention, creativity, and adventure. Her writing, images, and other projects have been featured on CNN.com, USA Today, Good Housekeeping, and Wondertime magazines, among others. Her bestselling book, The Beauty of Different, is a chronicle of imagery and portraiture, combined with written essays and observations on the concept that what makes us different makes us beautiful – and may even be the source of our superpowers. Her upcoming book explores the intersection of joy and activism. She has appeared on both local and national television and other news media, including PBS, Huffington Post, CNN.com, and The Oprah Winfrey Show.

She makes her home in Houston, TX.
