She initially founded the In-Transition Support Group at her kitchen table to support and help marketing and advertising professionals who were recently laid off of their jobs and did not know each other. She initially called it " WIT — Women In Transition, quickly the guys found out about the group and the name was changed to "IT" — In-Transition. In the first year, the group grew so large that the meetings needed to be moved to an office setting to accommodate the larger numbers attending. Karen’s kitchen table only held six and the rest is history!
