Coach Keren’s clients include Olympic athletes, Fortune 500 executives, startup founders, and even political leaders—but her message is universal: success without fulfillment is a trap. Her coaching philosophy centers on the idea that internal alignment and self-worth are the keys to sustainable success—not just hustle, accolades, or external markers of achievement.
