Innovation comes in many forms, and compliance professionals need to not only be ready for it but also embrace it. Today, I visited Dr. Karen Jacobson, a renowned expert in organizational leadership and communication.

Dr. Jacobson brings a unique perspective to her work, shaped by her diverse experiences ranging from serving in the military in Israel to running chiropractic offices in New York and Arizona. Dr. Jacobson’s holistic approach to organizational leadership and communication is rooted in her belief that work positioning, repetitive movements, and physical challenges are all interconnected and can impact the overall functioning of an organization. Drawing from her experiences in war, military, healthcare, and even competitive amateur ballroom dancing, she emphasizes the importance of core human connection skills such as conflict reduction, effective communication, and motivation. Her background as a chiropractor also gives her insights into understanding people and their behavior, including habits that affect posture and confidence.
