How does a corporate attorney become a creative entrepreneur?

Karen Walrond is a writer, photographer, author, and speaker — and that's just during working hours. She's also a licensed attorney + an engineer.

How did Karen go from being the Chief Counsel of one of the largest software companies in the oil & gas industry and the former Chief of Staff of a Fortune 200 company to author a best-selling book The Beauty of Different: Observations of a Confident Misfit, and the creative mind behind Chookooloonks, aTEDxHouston speaker and a press page that includes appearances on PBS, Huffington Post, CNN.com and The Oprah Winfrey Show?

Karen is here to share with you her personal transformation. I invite you to consider if this is possible for Karen, what is possible for you?

"Sometimes leaps really aren't leaps."

~ Karen Walrond, on How She Really Does It

• Practical – lawyer/engineer/fortune 200 company | Not practical creative entrepreneur – how did you ignore the rules society tells us?
• Trusting your intuition + knowing when it's time…
• Laying the foundation for career change + realities of adult responsibilities.
• How Karen will combine her knowledge of law with her passion from being a creative entrepreneur.
• What feminism really means for Karen –> "the right to determine your life"
• The importance of practice.
