What People are Saying
I definitely recommend this program for anybody that is looking to scale their career by way of some introspective analysis in an incredibly safe space, partnering with other women, but also being led and guided through the incredible Karen Worstell. The MOJO Maker Program was an opportunity to focus on a couple of key critical items that I knew would help put me in a position to take my career to the next level.
I chose to focus on the theme of relationships I needed to be able to do my job and do so well; that is, how do I grow my influence without direct authority as a inclusion and diversity practitioner and as a program manager?
The confidence that I got throughout the program is incomparable. I don't know my advancement would have happened so quickly had I not been armed with some of the resources and tool kits that Karen's workshop and program provided for me, including the day workshop that we had together, which was incredible.
- ALICIA JESSIP, DEI PROGRAM MANAGER FOR TECH
Karen Worstell’s unique Mojo Maker for Women in Tech program focuses on the key skills, abilities and attitudes that no one taught you in school.
In her calm, reassuring style, Karen practices what she preaches and shares her vulnerability with class participants and shows us that we don’t have to be perfect to start or to make a difference. I have benefited from a gaining a broader perspective, hearing about issues that women in tech experience and supporting other women on their journey. I really value participating in a cohort of women in various stages of their careers with so many diverse roles and backgrounds. I highly recommend Mojo Maker to women looking to make an investment in themselves and their career.
- KELLY BECKER, IT Director
After meeting Karen through an online webinar, I was impressed with her cybersecurity experience and her mental health perspective of her time in the cybersecurity industry.
Karen’s presentation to the (ISC)2 Central Florida Chapter was incredibly enlightening as she was the proverbial shining light at the end of the tunnel, showing us how to make our way and avoid burnout. Karen’s advice and tips don’t come from reading books but from experiencing the work culture in cybersecurity firsthand.
Karen’s experience and sharing her burnout experiences, allow the audience member to align their daily events with what Karen endured and end up coming out the other side while scathed but knowledgeable of how to survive and survive with fewer scars.
Karen is a top-notch storyteller, speaker, and educator and certainly one to have at your next group event to discuss burnout, getting through the workday, and how to keep yourself healthy!

President, (ISC)2 Central Florida Chapter
I had gone through some major adjustments in my professional life. I graduated from a coding bootcamp and started a new career in software. I joined MOJO Maker at the beginning of my job hunt and it couldn’t have come at a better time. I received incredible coaching and community at a time when I was feeling very vulnerable and even defeated.
The coaching calls became the highlight of my week- not only did I feel heard in my struggles but I also gained skills that I immediately put into action in my job search. I learned how to use visualization to best prepare for interview code challenges and started to develop skills for becoming an excellent communicator. Because of this coaching I was able to land a job I was excited about in a relatively short amount of time.
Mojo Maker is a community where members can learn from and support one another and it is truly transformative.
