Karen Worthy's Linkedin Analytics

I help leaders find their confidence and tell their stories, so they can get hired and build careers they love. I built my company, Worthy Career Paths, as a way to give back and help those who are in the uncertain and often scary transition periods in their careers. My goal is to provide affordable and impactful career transition resources to those who need them. I'm also a Fractional Leader, with expertise in HR, Recruiting, and Operations. I lead teams to achieve hyper growth and scaling in start up organizations. In addition to my career transition skills like resume writing, interview tips, and salary negotiation, I could talk forever about: Total Motivation and the book “Primed to Perform” Process Improvement and Lean Methodologies Facilitation tips and techniques Mentoring and coaching others Using data to solve problems and tell stories On the personal side, I could talk forever about: My kids Financial independence Cooking and baking RV life and travel Career Bio: I am a Mechanical Engineer and an MBA graduate. I started my career at Procter & Gamble as a technical engineer, then made my first of many career shifts into manufacturing operations leadership. I moved back to Texas to be closer to family after my first son was born, and at that point, chose to deepen my expertise in Lean, Six Sigma, and process improvement. I was then tapped on the shoulder to run the supply chain, procurement, and warehousing facilities for the aerospace company I was working for, and quickly fell in love with supply chain. To continue learning more about warehousing and fulfillment, I transitioned to Amazon where I ran several different fulfillment centers. I had always wanted to work in the start up world, so when I was asked by a former colleague to join an up and coming startup, I jumped at the chance. At the start up, I showed up on day one to an office that didn’t even have a desk built for me, and helped them build a thriving operations organization from the ground up. When they needed help in Talent Acquisition and Recruiting, I set that team up for hyper growth, then helped lead on the HR side as well. More recently, I've joined those pursuing a portfolio career and serve as a Fractional Leader while starting up my own business to serve those in career transition.
