Meet Karen McNenny
Sit On The Same Side
Most people are never taught how to move through conflict without making it worse.
For more than 20 years, Karen McNenny has helped people navigate high-stakes transitions, communication breakdowns, and difficult relationships in a way that protects what they still have to live inside after the conflict ends.
Karen really is like a human-whisperer.
She always helps make the hard conversations easier.

Karen helps you Sit On The Same Side
People stop solving the problem when they start reacting to each other.
Whether you are navigating a divorce, leading a team through conflict, or trying to get a difficult situation unstuck, the work starts with the same shift: moving out of reaction and back into responsibility.
Divorce Coach
Divorce is one of the most emotionally charged transitions a family can go through. Karen helps parents move through the process in a way that protects their kids, preserves their dignity, and keeps the family functioning on the other side.
Facilitation
When a room full of people needs to reach a decision, work through a conflict, or move in the same direction, Karen creates the structure that makes that possible. She keeps the conversation productive, even when it gets difficult.
Mediation
When communication has broken down and the situation feels stuck, Karen helps people get back to the actual problem. She brings clarity, neutrality, and a clear process to situations that have become too charged to move forward on their own.
Speaker
Karen brings more than 20 years of work in conflict, communication, and human behavior to every stage. Her talks give audiences a shift they can apply immediately, whether the topic is divorce, leadership, organizational change, or how people function under pressure.
