Karie Terhark is the founder of KT Facilitation, where she designs engaging, participatory sessions that bring people together to do meaningful work. Her journey began in youth development, but it was during her time leading a community coalition that she discovered the power of facilitative leadership. There, she saw firsthand how bringing diverse voices to the table could spark real, lasting change.

Introduced to the Technology of Participation (ToP®) Methods, Karie immediately connected with their ability to empower teams to collaborate, solve problems, and move forward with clarity. That spark grew into a mission—helping individuals and organizations lead through action and unlock their potential for impact.

As a certified Lumina Practitioner, Karie brings deep insight into personality, communication, and leadership styles, helping people better understand themselves and others to strengthen team dynamics and collaboration.

Today, she weaves her core values—harmony, integrity, fun, collaboration, and growth—into every experience she creates. For Karie, facilitation isn’t just a skillset; it’s a reflection of who she is and the kind of change she’s here to inspire.
