Karan Ferrell-Rhodes is the founder of Shockingly Different Leadership, a global human capital professional services firm that is changing the way companies scale up their People, Learning & Culture initiatives during peak periods of work! She is also the host of the Lead at the Top of Your Game podcast. SDL's team of over 275 consultants partner with business executives and senior leaders of Learning & Development, Human Resources, and Organizational Development/Effectiveness teams to execute business- critical, talent-related initiatives on an on-demand, project, or contract basis. The firm helps organizations solve the problem of quickly locating trusted expertise to help them get their urgent "people projects" done. Karan has a deep passion for up-leveling leader capability and optimizing organizational workforces. She loves unleashing the magic which occurs when ambitious, gifted professionals boost their acumen in a way that delivers greater value to their organizations, creates raving fans, builds their brand, and impacts the bottom line. Her book, Lead at the Top of Your Game, shares a blueprint of how today's most successful individuals and businesses are able to differentiate themselves as elite leaders in their profession or industry. Immediately before following her passion to share her consulting gifts on a more global scale, Karan held numerous leadership positions at the Microsoft Corporation during her 14 year tenure, including leading the human capital strategy for 6 Corporate Vice Presidents and leading the Microsoft Global High Potential Leadership Development Program, which was ranked in the top 5 global programs by Fortune Magazine, Leadership Excellence, the Best Practices in Leadership Institute, and Workforce Magazine. She holds a Bachelors in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from the University of Georgia and a MBA with a triple concentration in Organizational Development, Human Resources & Marketing from Florida State University. She is certified as a High Potential Leadership Coach, a Master Action Learning Facilitator, and is also certified in several leadership assessment tools. Karan is involved in numerous professional and non-profit organizations and resides in the metro-Atlanta area with her wonderful husband Victor, adorable daughter Alexis, family dog Pappi, and a host of extended family and friends. In her rare moments of downtime, she loves engaging in social media, going on "date nights", watching football, critiquing movies, listening to jazz, and giving back to the community.
