About me
I help you to be more confident, worry less, increase your motivation and energy to cope with the changes that life brings and to enjoy life more. This is especially important post pandemic when your work , job or role may have changed dramatically. I help busy people get a better work-life balance, and keep it going working from home, hybrid or office based with my tailored Career Coaching! My personal development coaching, executive & business coaching helps you make a change to your work or home life, and usually a combination of both! Confidence and motivation. I can support you if the current situation is making you anxious … or if you want to take the opportunity to make a change or start a new side project then I can help.
Love it or leave it ? Lots of people come to me for Career coaching when they want to change jobs or are facing redundancy. I have experience of working in the public and private sector, and how to 're-brand yourself'.
"Karen is an outstanding coach, she helped me realise my full potential and understand who I am and all the great things I could achieve. I would recommend Karen with confidence that she would assist any person in achieving their goals. "
Linkedin Recommendation
I love helping busy people who are setting up or expanding their business, and my USP is helping them look after themselves at the same time!
My business coaching helps you re-clarify goals, identify and make changes to work/home life - significantly increasing your motivation and performance. I like to keep ahead of new technology and best business practice so can mentor alongside my coaching to help you really put your business at the cutting edge. I offer user friendly 1 to 1 Twitter and Social media coaching too, so you can use it confidently for your business or career . I have experience of planning Crowdfunding Campaigns & supporting staff through this.
My Executive Coaching helps your staff to maximise/embrace new opportunities, reduces stress and sickness, increasing wellbeing and productivity. I also do outplacement coaching.
My Life Coaching is an exciting one to one process where you learn about yourself, what motivates you and what you want to change or improve. I help you gain a greater understanding and awareness of what you really want to do, and unlock your motivation to do this. Life Coaching looks for positives and does not dwell on the past.
I offer pre Retirement coaching to help you plan to make the most of your new free time, start a new career or business post retirement, or juggle elderly parents and grandchildren.
