About Karl Grass Executive Coaching

Karl works with motivated leaders who are ready to become their best by making meaningful changes that are important to them. His coaching style reflects his belief that individuals and teams perform best when they are acting from their authentic way of being – and that this is how lasting change is created. Karl’s extensive corporate and professional experience helps ensure a good fit and spirit of partnership with executives at all levels – enabling an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect that facilitates effective coaching. Having experienced many of the same challenges as his clients gives him a full appreciation for the importance of the coaching work they take on. In working with clients, Karl seeks to facilitate (1) a deep understanding of what the individual wants to gain from the coaching process – and how success will be measured; (2) a high level of self-awareness – including values and strengths; (3) a clear perspective of what he or she wants to change; (4) a plan to put the change in place; and (5) practice to make it part of the individual’s enduring capabilities. He often works with executives to increase their emotional intelligence, which has been shown to be the most significant factor differentiating top leaders from mediocre performers. Before becoming a coach, Karl held executive leadership roles in a wide range of organizations. His experience includes co-founding a successful entrepreneurial start-up, becoming a worldwide partner at Arthur Andersen, serving as an officer of the company and as a general manager for Intuit’s $265 million Professional Tax business unit, and as the senior vice president leading a portfolio of businesses while at Sage Software.
