When business consultant Karyn Pettigrew, 44, left corporate America in 1992, she thought she would open a holistic wellness center. But after much soul-searching and discussion with her husband, she said she discovered her calling was to teach professionals, through coaching and consulting, how to apply intuition to traditional business practices
“I knew that I wanted to do something that helped people understand that things didn’t have to be the way that they were,” said Pettigrew. “I really wanted to revolutionize the way people work; your work is meant to be an expression of you.”
Pettigrew prides herself and her company, KPConsulting LLC, on an “Intuitive Business Strategy.” After working in several sectors of the corporate world for more than 15 years, she insisted her decision to leave the corporate side and start her business “was a conscious one and it’s allowed me to do what I really love while being present for my family.”
The 4-year-old River North business, primarily geared towards entrepreneurs, helps individuals and companies prioritize their work, by recognizing the connection between the personal and professional worlds, “intuitively.”

It is important that there is someone who is will to encourage the application of intuition to traditional business practices. Because everything is so advanced today, many do not realize that they haven’t been listening to their own voice for a long long time.
