Kara Exner holds a BA in Psychology and a Master's degree in Adult and Continuing Education. While interviewing nearly fifty successful changemakers, she heard the same themes raised over and over, and decided to document what makes changemakers universally successful. As a leadership coach, she is credentialed as a Professional Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation, and has worked with hundreds of people to help them understand how they perceive themselves, how they relate to others, and how they can reach their goals. She lives in Calgary, Canada, with her husband and their two boys.
