    Why the Karen A. Confidence Coaching Series Matters More Than Ever

    If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that change is inevitable — and sometimes, it hits hardest when we least expect it. Across industries, thousands of professionals who once led major teams, shaped strategies, or managed million-dollar budgets have found themselves suddenly on pause, navigating the uneasy terrain between what was and what’s next.

    That’s where Karen A. Clark’s Confidence Coaching Series steps in — not just as a program, but as a lifeline.

    A New Era of Reinvention

    Karen A. Clark — co-owner of the Barbara Morrison Performing Arts Center and a powerhouse financial leader turned life and confidence coach — has seen this story unfold time and time again. After years of working in high-pressure corporate environments, she understands firsthand how deeply identity can be tied to a title, a role, or a company badge.

    “When those titles disappear, it can feel like you disappear,” says Karen A. “But the truth is, you’re not starting over — you’re starting fresh. And that’s a completely different kind of power.”

    Through her Confidence Coaching Series, Karen A. helps former executives, senior managers, and industry leaders reconnect with their inner voice — the one that existed before the job title, and will continue long after.

    ✨ Why This Series Is So Timely

    Over the past three years, massive layoffs, restructuring, and the rise of remote work have left many professionals disoriented. Some are struggling to adapt to new industries or job markets; others are launching small businesses or creative ventures and finding that entrepreneurship requires a very different kind of resilience.

    Karen A.’s approach bridges that gap.
    Her workshops, one-on-one sessions, and group experiences focus on rebuilding confidence, clarity, and creative courage — guiding participants to:

    • Redefine success on their own terms.

    • Separate identity from position, and rediscover purpose.

    • Develop leadership presence rooted in authenticity, not corporate protocol.

    • Reclaim their narrative, whether stepping into a new role, a new business, or a new self.

    From the Boardroom to the Stage

    What makes this series especially unique is its home at the Barbara Morrison Performing Arts Center — a space born from creativity, expression, and rebirth. Participants don’t just sit through lectures; they perform — presenting their new stories, sharing breakthroughs, and learning to embody confidence in real time.

    This blend of coaching and performance is deeply intentional. It channels Barbara Morrison’s legacy of using the arts as a vehicle for empowerment and growth, giving people not only a new mindset but also a new stage to stand on — literally and metaphorically.

    Join the Movement

    The Karen A. Confidence Coaching Series isn’t about returning to who you were. It’s about stepping boldly into who you’re meant to become.

    If you’ve been feeling that your next chapter is waiting — but uncertainty keeps holding the pen — this is your invitation to start writing again.

    Introducing Our Community-Centered Calendar at the Barbara Morrison Performing Arts Center

    The Barbara Morrison Performing Arts Center (BMPAC) has always been more than a venue — it’s a living, breathing part of Leimert Park’s creative heartbeat. And now, we’re taking that energy even further.

    We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new Member and Engagement Site, featuring a dynamic event calendar built entirely with people in mind. This new platform brings together artists, audiences, and the local community for a more connected, accessible, and inspiring experience at the Center.

    What’s New

    Our upcoming season is packed with music, art, and culture that celebrates the diversity and soul of our community. With this new online experience, you’ll be able to:

    • Browse a live calendar of performances, rehearsals, and community gatherings.

    • RSVP for events and receive automatic reminders.

    • Engage with artists and community members through comment threads and forum discussions.

    Events That Center People

    Each event on our new calendar is curated with one guiding principle: people first. From jazz nights and spoken word performances to film screenings, open mics, youth showcases, and educational workshops, our mission is to create a space where every artist and audience member feels seen, celebrated, and inspired.

    Tim Morganfield and Karen A. Clark, the heart and hands behind the Center’s daily magic, have continued Barbara Morrison’s legacy of inclusion and access. Their vision for this new calendar is simple — to make it easier for the community to participate, connect, and grow together.

    “Barbara always wanted this space to feel like home for artists and neighbors alike,” says Karen A. Clark. “This new platform helps us do that. It’s about making sure everyone knows they’re welcome here — whether they’re performing, producing, or simply showing up to enjoy.”
