About

Leadership coaching - confidence, clarity, great communication.

Karen brings insight into navigating change and empowering teams, from 30 years of experience as a Senior Leader in the fast-changing media content and news industry. Her style is direct - with careful listening, empathy, and challenge.

She works with senior leaders in business, media, tech, and finance. All leaders, in all sectors, face the enormous challenges of accelerated change and motivating teams. Understanding ourselves; how we think and act, what we believe, and what we need, brings confidence in our own authentic way to thrive through uncertainty.

Leadership issues my clients have brought to coaching include:

*finding an authentic leadership style and voice.
*leading with purpose.
*motivating and retaining key talent.
*dealing with fear, lack of confidence, or imposter anxiety.
*staying out of the weeds.
*leading sustainably - avoiding burnout.
*tackling difficult conversations and performance.
*transitioning roles.

Karen gives clients the assurance of certification and ethical practice from both global professional coaching bodies - as both an individual and a trained team coach. She is also committed to democratising the benefits of coaching by working with the social sector at special rates

Karen believes in bringing the whole person to coaching and has an unshakeable belief in the ability of clients to increase their success and happiness. She was a working parent for most of her career and understands the issues around balancing herself can bring those responsibilities and needs.
