Hi! I’m Dr. Karyn Gordon—CEO of DK Leadership and creator of the Leadership 101 online course.  For over 25 years, I’ve coached leaders across 17 countries, from CEOs to young adults. My passion is the same for everyone I work with: developing confident leaders at every stage of life.
The secret of this course is simple: start young. This course gives students and young adults practical skills—goal-setting, time management, and emotional intelligence—that reduce stress and anxiety today and set them apart in the workplace for tomorrow.
Employers want young talent who can communicate, adapt, and problem-solve. Leadership 101 delivers those tools—making it a fantastic course for families to take together and begin building leadership skills early.
I bring a rare triple specialization:
✅ Leadership expert (Wall Street Journal bestselling author & global keynote speaker)
✅ Relationship expert (Doctorate in Marriage & Family)
✅ Licensed mental health professional with a deep understanding of motivation, communication & EQ.
I’m so glad you’re here—and I can’t wait to help your family build a strong leadership foundation that lasts a lifetime.

It was a really great course! The first part we got to be creative and create our vision board ... and the second part

we were able to plan out our future, our goals. I feel a lot more calm and relaxed now about what I want to do with my life later. What I found most helpful was the LENS activity (Goal-Setting Tool), where we got to figure out our goals, and how to achieve them in a simplistic way that made it seem very easy … and I just don’t feel that stressed.

I enjoyed doing it with my daughter, that was a great experience. Karyn’s facilitation style was great, energetic, very focused and it helped us to focus as well, for our own lives and then for our lives together. I loved doing the vision board! I loved the visual and waking up every morning and looking at that and seeing where I am – love the inspiration.

Sophia, Pre-Teen
For me, I found this course very helpful, not only for the kids but for parents to understand each of the kids’ skill and what works best for each of them and integrate this into the family. Time management is key, at any age so I think it was great to learn this together.
Eugenia, Mom

It’s really going to help me to focus on what I have to do in a day and help us in school. What I found most helpful

was the schedule (Time-Management Tool) because after school some kids just do their own thing, but Karyn has taught us to do our homework first then we can get more free time after so we feel better and not as stressed.
