Background

About Karen Bartlett

Karen Bartlett was put on this planet to help others, to inspire authenticity and growth in everyone she meets. An entrepreneur, educator, coach, and force for social change, Karen brings over 25 years of experience as a social activist to bear as a partner at the Kite+Dart Group. Activism is at the heart of everything Karen does. At every stage of her life, she has followed this hunger for social change by helping others reframe old ways of thinking to find new angles of attack in the fight against systemic oppression. At Kite+Dart, she coaches entrepreneurial activists through the ups-and-downs of running a small business, giving them the tools and guidance to build impact-driven enterprises that are aligned with their commitments and their authentic self. The result is a tribe of radically empowered business owners ready to live out their passions and create a better future in the process. Karen also founded Ascension Energetics, where she works with education and social impact leaders to decrease occupational stress and reconnect with their passion and purpose so they can lead with intention and clarity. Karen set out on a mission to inspire like-minded souls to reassess their relationship with their work and to guide them on their journey to rediscover joy and fulfillment, and now she has helped hundreds of people become stronger leaders, smarter educators, and unstoppable social activists. Through Kite+Dart and Ascension Energetics, Karen is helping inspire a new generation of socially-minded visionaries. I have over 25 years of combined experience in the education, business and nonprofit worlds, and have dedicated myself to serving and empowering others based on a passion for making a difference in the world. However, in my constant state of giving, I have repeatedly found myself overwhelmed, stressed out and with very little left to give. As a lifelong learner, this provided me with the perfect opportunity to grow and find a better, more sustainable way to contribute. I found that way through Energy Leadership and Core Energy Coaching. I founded Ascension Energetics and now teach and coach those in service-based industries on how to decrease stress and take action with even more intention and clarity so they can sustain, and even increase, the impact they are having. I work with my clients in both one-on-one and group programs where they become empowered to show up as the most inspired and inspiring leaders of themselves and others.
