HELLO! I’M KAREN SANDS

Hi! I’m Karen Sands, distinguished Wisdom Futurist™, leading Mentor, and pioneer Certified Master Coach (MCC, BCC)

In my 80+ years on Earth, I've lived more than a few lives, and in each iteration, I've gathered more wisdom, insight, expertise, and, let's be honest, more wrinkles… that I wear proudly!

As a leading-edge Gerontologist, I have studied transition, reinvention, and midlife with microscopic intensity. I'm a bold advocate for rewriting the story of ageism. I have empowered thousands of top-level executives, CEOs, entrepreneurs, academics, and global leaders through significant life and career transitions through midlife and beyond.

With every person I have worked with, it is the same: As we enter midlife, we enter a kind of emotionally charged Canyon, confronting gorges and ridges that test us like nothing we've encountered before.

We may feel flat inside, bored, depressed, and longing for something more—and I coined this the Canyon of the Soul™—as we begin to descend inward, looking for greater significance.

As we traverse this inner Canyon, we discover more about what really matters to us. With the proper support, we emerge into a new sense of Self in a landscape reinvented that is more true to who we are.

This book provides a roadmap for this journey.

Recognized as a Forbes Top 50 Leading Female Futurist (2020-2024), and by Bruce Rosenstein, Managing Editor of Leader to Leader as “Among the Top 42 Leading Futurist Authors Past and Present.” (2021), and “One of the Authors of the Top 55 Books on Longevity and Productive Aging.” (2022), listed on Futurist Ross Dawson's Top Global Female Futurists. (2020-2024).

With quintessential grace and clarity of vision, Karen celebrates the abundant power of the aging wise woman. She will inspire those of any age who are drawn to explore the depths of their own authentic power. The time is right now, but her messages are timeless.
Jan Austin - President, Potential at Work

I attended a seminar that Karen Sands gave for people seeking a career change. She is an excellent, motivating speaker who in a very short time created a lively, highly interactive and safe space for people to share and communicate with each other. She is a generous and accessible coach who would be an asset to anyone dealing with professional growth and seeking new mountains to climb.
L. Ramsey - President/CEO Jewelry Information Center

I have been brought to another place in myself. Karen has rare integrity. She moves us gently topside and down to the underside world, always maintaining a safe clear space for our passage between the worlds.
Pam Brown - Sr. VP, Comptroller Financial Services

Midlife is not about what we think it SHOULD be...

. . . it’s about what it CAN be.
