Hi there. Welcome to my little corner of the Internet

​

Who am I?

I am Kara Monroe. Several years ago, I was walking through downtown Chicago. I looked inside of a building and saw this piece of graffiti style art on the wall. The words were - "I Wanna Be Me When I Grow Up." It hit me instantly and has been my life motto every since. I want to live an authentic life and help others do the same.

​

I earn a living as a coach, creator, and consultant focusing on innovation, higher and non traditional education, and educational technology. You can learn more about my company, Monarch Strategies LLC, here. I publish in a few places online, but mostly you'll find me here as well as in my Circle Community.

What will you find on this site?

As someone trying to live an authentic life, I make content about things that I find curious and interesting. Right now, I write a lot about personal finance, technology, knowledge management, and innovation. I'm always adding new topics of interest so I hope you'll bookmark this site and check back often. ​​​
