About Meredith
My Background
Hi! I’m Meredith Kathleen Olsen, founder of MKO Strategies. I’m here to help people build a life that feels meaningful, peaceful, and intentional.
During my time in corporate leadership (as a Director, a Vice President, and a trusted mentor across departments), I led complex teams, managed multimillion-dollar projects, and was known for blending strategic vision with emotional intelligence and clear communication.
Over time, success stopped feeling like fulfillment. I found myself caught in a cycle of anxiety, self-doubt, and burnout that eventually became my whole life. I realized I needed to make a change and began using these challenges to shape the strategies and tools I now share with clients every day.
Why I Help
Most of the people I work with have a lot going on, even when it doesn't look like it. They're often navigating feelings of anxiety or a sense of being stuck or the pain of not living in alignment with who they really are. They may have outgrown a role, a relationship, or an identity. They may feel frozen, confused, or even just tired of holding it all together.
That’s where I come in. I know those feelings and I know how to create space to sort through them and reconnect with yourself.
My Approach
I believe real growth happens when we start with what’s already strong and build intentionally from there. I'll create a development plan tailored to you and your unique way of showing up in the world. That plan might include reflective assessments to uncover strengths and values, meditation or journaling practices, meaningful goal-setting with built-in accountability, and tools for navigating emotions with more ease.
Every piece is designed to create real, lasting transformation and to meet you where you are. I'm there supporting you every step of the way.
My Qualifications
I’m a certified Life Coach through San Diego State University’s Global Campus and a 500-hour yoga instructor with over 15 years of experience teaching yoga, meditation, and mindfulness to individuals and groups.
I bring more than 25 years of executive and strategic leadership experience. I hold a PMP® (Project Management Professional) certification and have designed and delivered countless trainings and workshops along the way.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in English, which taught me to listen closely, understand deeply, and communicate with purpose—skills I use every day in this work.
