Karen Wan, Summer 2012
My name is Karen Wan. I’m a socially conscious entrepreneur, mom and writer.
Like many of you I’ve been drawn to writing for a long time through both my hobbies and professional work.
I’ve made a good living as a professional writer for the business world through technical, marketing, and grant writing. I also worked at IBM for many years as a product engineer using my materials science engineering degree and later ran a green business program for the City of Chicago for several years. Today I use my writing skills in work as a sustaining story consultant when creating transformational workshops, strategic business plans, and retreats.
Novel Writing
is my long submerged dream. Writing Your Destiny is also a place where I share my journey to getting my first novel published! I am so grateful for the support I’ve been receiving from many of you on my road to developing skills as a creative writer.
A Thought to Contemplate. . . We Live in a Unique Time
It’s my belief that we are living through one of the golden eras in human history, and that there is a special window of opportunity to act in new ways from 2012 through somewhere around 2037. If you know anything about sustainability, you know we need to change our ways!
So, in addition to discussing writing, we will explore the many ways in which you can recharge our energy and ideas to meet the demands of this unprecedented time and flow into change with more grace and ease.
