About Us
About the IAM Learning Community
The IAM Learning Community exists to address a major epidemic in the global economy … careers and organizations that merely survive in mediocrity and fail to achieve their innate potential. The results surround us daily – watch it on the evening news and feel it in your own career.
Misaligned careers ultimately lead to lives off-track and a range of consequences that reach far beyond just unfilled careers … financial problems, family problems, marital problems, disease, addictions, depression or worse.
Dysfunctional organizations miss performance targets and worse. They lose opportunities for growth, innovation, expanded employment and the ability to serve a higher purpose in their local and world ecosystems.
The IAM Learning Community is a career
and workplace transformation forum.
We transform personal careers and organizational workgroups into alignment with Soul Purpose through a unique method we call the IAM Way.
The IAM Way is an integrated system of tools, processes, coaching, consulting, online development and community that aligns people and work groups with the essential elements of their Soul Purpose – head, heart and body.
The result is careers aligned with Purpose and
organizations aligned for peak performance.
The IAM Learning Community is a secure environment in which IAM members can safely journey into personal transformation and find their own “I AM”.
Members learn, explore and stretch themselves through self-paced online development, by engaging in interactive learning, conversation within the IAM community in secure discussion forums, exchanging knowledge and collecting and sharing wisdom about their careers and organizational performance.
Young Community – Ancient Wisdom
The IAM Learning Community is young in its formation, but its fundamentals are rooted in decades of front-line career experience and centuries of collective wisdom about the path and value of guided Transformation. The products, services and philosophy of IAM were built and tested with real world experience – decades of successes, failures, corrective actions and lessons learned. IAM methods are deeply rooted in developmental psychology, organization development, coaching best practices, adult learning theory and philosophy, as well as the wisdom traditions of native and world religions.
Career and workplace alignment with Soul Purpose is our mission.
Career and workplace Transformation using the IAM Way is our
proven path to success on that mission.
IAM Leadership
The IAM Learning Community is led by Karen Tax, supported by a community of leaders and collaborators skilled in the art and science of career and workplace alignment and Transformation.
Karen Tax
Karen Tax’s official title is President and CEO of Karen Tax & Associates, but we know that the “CEO” really stands for Chief Experience Officer. Karen is radically committed to ensuring that every client, customer and partner experience with IAM is exceptional and richly rewarding for both parties.
“My ultimate desire is for everyone who touches the IAM community to see and feel it as “their IAM” and to be intimately enriched by that experience, building confidence that they can earn a living doing what they love.”
Karen has a long history creating great career and corporate experiences. She was a software engineer for twelve years where she formed the foundation of her systems approach to building IAM’s framework of products and services. Sixteen years in human resources and professional career coaching enabled her to hone that system into the IAM Way – through training and experience. IAM is Karen’s second entrepreneurial experience in addition to systems and career leadership roles at Nortel Networks, ICL, PRC, Calcomp and Hewlett Packard.
