About Karina Rome

The best investment you can make is in understanding people — starting with yourself.

Whether you're an individual building self-awareness, a team learning to work better together, or an organization developing its people — that understanding is where real growth begins. I provide the tools, frameworks, and guidance to make it happen.

My work sits at the intersection of psychology, organizational behavior, and practical human development. I bring evidence-informed tools and frameworks to individuals, leaders, teams, and organizations — not as a one-size-fits-all solution, but as a foundation for meaningful, lasting change.

I hold advanced training in industrial-organizational psychology and am certified in three TTI Success Insights assessment tools: DISC, Emotional Quotient (EQ), and 12 Driving Forces. These assessments are central to my practice because they provide a shared, research-backed language for understanding behavior, motivation, and emotional intelligence — one that makes difficult conversations easier and productive ones more impactful.

I've worked with professionals across industries — from individual contributors navigating career transitions to senior leaders building high-performing teams to organizations working through periods of change. What I've found, consistently, is that the most powerful shifts happen when people feel genuinely understood and have the tools to understand others.

What guides my work

Curiosity

Every engagement begins with genuine curiosity — about the person, the team, the context, and what's possible.

Evidence-informed practice

I use validated, research-backed tools and frameworks. I believe good decisions about people deserve good data.

The whole person

Behavior, motivation, and emotional intelligence are all part of the picture. I work with all of it.

Practical application

Insight without application is just information. I help clients translate what they learn into real, actionable change.
