What People Say.....
Project Delivery
“Karen was a breath of fresh air in her engagement at Marks and Spencer. She has a very personable style and has a wealth of knowledge and expertise. I would recommend Karen to drive any change initiatives in the future.”
Claire De Cort, Portfolio Manager, Marks & Spencer
“What's not to like about working with Karen, she is an enthusiastic, professional and driven project lead with a focus and dedication to her work that your rarely see in business. It was my pleasure and good fortune to work along side her at Energis and an education for us both.
Peter Thornber, Programme Manager, Energis
“Karen worked on a number of Business Change programmes that I was directly or indirectly involved in. Karen is always highly motivated, pursues the objectives and goals in a logical, professional and determined manner. Karen will always bring more to the party in terms of differing approaches to solutions/problems, using her personality and manner to persuade and influence colleagues, customers and management alike.
Employee Engagement - Workplace Wellbeing
Richard Mooney, Head of Business Change
‘It is pretty obvious that staff wellbeing is linked to company productivity, but we struggled to find anyone that specialised in company wellbeing programs. So when Karen was recommended we jumped right into her “wellbeing workshop” where Karen helped us to understand the full range of possibilities, looking not only at health and wellbeing of each of us, but our energy and engagement in the business too. We are now well into the recommended program and are seeing fantastic results, including increased productivity and nominations for Healthiest Workplace and Best Employer awards. Individual Wellbeing is essential for optimum performance, but few companies seem to recognise this,
so Karen helps us to maintain a strong edge over our competitors’.
Jack Hubbard, Managing Director, Propellernet
Engagement - L&D
‘I have nothing but admiration for how Karen 'hit the ground running' and delivered for them (Visa Europe). I would recommend her to any business or organisation looking for an organisational development solution. Her approach is creative, leftfield and technically excellent, all wrapped up in great stakeholder management. She is a refreshing change from the 'formula' approach in her field.’
Bill Dudman, Consult-HR
Marketing - Wellbeing Enterprises
‘The sessions were thought-provoking and created ideas that were able to be implemented on a practical level; meaning that the new insights had an immediate effect.’
'Karen helped me position and define what kind of coach I am and researched the personal coaching market for me in order see where I fit in and where to position myself price wise. If you want to take the next step on your mission to success and you are stuck or don't know what to do next, I recommend Karen.’

“Karen is a joy to work with. A high spirit and drive are allied to a thoughtful planned approach and she is always looking for more. More aspects, more avenues and especially more marketing directions. She worked on a website project with me and I would have never got it up and running without her.”
Brent Curless, Entrepreneur

'With Karen's coaching, I was able to transforming my attitude and therefore my ability to deal with a highly stressful situation..... I was also hoping that I could just focus on work and avoid dealing with the challenges in my personal life, but actually, I've come to realise that it's unavoidable.
Louise, Communications Manager in Local Government
Community Engagement
'A fantastic, interactive and educational workshop. Karen and her crew made for a great day where all our participants walked away with their own creation and a smile on their face. A perfect addition to any green event or educational craft activity for schools or community centres. Thanks Karen - sterling job!'
