Karin Sugar

About Karin Sugar:

Karin Sugar is a global speaker, behavioral strategist, and one of fewer than 10 Gallup-Certified CliftonStrengths® Coaches based in Israel. Teams and organizations rarely underperform due to a lack of talent - instead, they are quietly held back by unconscious behaviors, autopilot habits, and chronic miscommunications, especially between people who are simply wired to work differently from one another. Karin helps high-performing teams see these patterns clearly — in themselves and in each other — building the psychological clarity and behavioral agility to move from default, reactive habits to intentional, strategic alignment. Through her signature interactive keynotes and masterclasses, she gives people a shared language for what's really driving the friction, and practical tools to put it into practice immediately. OPERATIONAL CREDIBILITY & BACKGROUND: * 30+ Years of Practical Experience navigating complex, global business and behavioural realities. * 8+ Years at Cisco Systems leading large-scale operational initiatives. * Global Leadership: Former Board Member of the IIBA New Zealand chapter and Program Director of Women in Tech Israel. * International Speaker: Commanding stages across the US, Australia, and New Zealand. * Academic Foundation: Holds a degree in Psychology and designed/taught a university-level Business Analysis course. Based in Haifa and working internationally, Karin helps modern tech organizations, VC portfolios, and leadership teams scale their performance with authentic clarity and practical, strengths-based toolkits they can implement the very next morning.
