Bespoke 1:1 Coaching for Senior Leaders across Industry.

  • Grow your influence, increase your impact and get time back.

  • Lead larger teams, engage the range of personalities in a common vision and achieve breakthrough results.

  • Get out of the weeds, lead through your leaders and elevate into strategy with clarity and authentic confidence.

  • Empower leadership mindsets deep into your organisation and build high performance teams around you.

  • Grow beyond the ways you’ve led in the past, embed new and effective habits to accomplish more with less stress.

From stressed & exhausted to
empowered & influential.

Working harder and longer but not getting the results you want? Leading in the same way but your impact is falling short?

Karen has been coaching senior and executive leaders across industry for over 12 years. Leaders who have ticked all the boxes and have come to a place in their professional and personal lives where they’re looking for something more.

Often referred by trusted friends or colleagues in similar senior roles, leaders discover something very special is available to them through Karen’s work.

If you’re ready for a unique style of coaching that will equally support and challenge you to be who you really want to be, then get in touch for an initial conversation to explore if this is right for you.

  • "Before the program I was critical of others and most judgmental of myself. After completing the course I have discovered a new fresh narrative that provides me confidence, accountability and more contentment."

    Andrea Salmon
    National Head of Audio Sales, Southern Cross Austereo

  • "Before the program I would lead with an iron fist and I would always get the job done dragging the troops with me, which would be very taxing. After the program I have learnt to be a partner with my staff and for them to receive the credit for all their hard work. I also learnt to trust my staff in making the right decisions which then gives me great up lift."

    Ian Douglas
    General Manager, Stilcon Scaffolding

  • "Before the program I wasn’t aware of my negative habits and how much they impacted all aspects of my life. After completing the program I feel I am more in control of my emotions and my behaviour."

    Rita Trakhtman
    Dr Rita Trak, Founder, Dental and Skin Clinic

  • "Before the program I was absolutely fooling myself while trying to fool others, because I simply didn't know any better. After completing the program I am someone who shows up fully me, responsible for who I am and what I do in the world."

    Peter Noble
    Account Executive, Salesforce

  • "Before the program I was a yes person/people pleaser who over compensated to be liked, feel needed and of value. After completing the program I am empowered to have the boundaries and give myself permission to let go of what no longer serves me."

    Lisa Coyle
    Training Advisor, Hanes Brands Australia

  • "Karen I can't thank you enough for the work we have done together. I am truly grateful to have been able to work with you and turn the mirror back to myself and learn more about how I am experienced by others and how to continue to work on myself as a leader. I look forward to continuing our connection in the future. I will always remember this significant point in my leadership journey because without your coaching and support I would have thrown the towel in long ago. Thank you so much."

    Jessica Tai
    Senior Team Lead, Knox City Council

  • "Thank you so much Karen! I cannot tell you how powerful I find these sessions to be. Thank you for coaching me through this journey. I am truly grateful for your incredible insights and most importantly for adding helium to my balloon that allows me to part the clouds guiding me to clearer skies. I truly feel like the fog is slowly lifting."

    Jaspreet Sidhu
    Project Manager & Quality Management Consultant, Alfred Health

  • "Thank you so much for all that you have contributed to and have lead our team through. I just wanted to take this moment of opportunity to acknowledge and show appreciation for your guidance, coaching and humility on this journey and I am proud to call you one of our team."

    Ty Symonds
    Head of Design, Country Road Home

  • "Before working with Karen I was struggling to work positively and above the line with my team members and customers. Karen helped clear my thought processes and how by working positively and with an above the line mindset, great results can be achieved. At the conclusion of my time with Karen I felt less stressed and ready to tackle 2019 with a positive outlook in life. I have no hesitation recommending Karen for future coaching. Thanks Karen!"

    John Trueman
    Business Unit Manager, SPX Flow

  • "I can’t begin to thank you for the work you have done with me over this past 6 months. With all the introductions to thought leaders and authors over these months, the best introduction you have given me is the introduction to myself."

    Marlene Tanner
    Senior Manager Commercial and Organisational Optimisation, Arthrex APAC

  • "Before Karen’s coaching I would often twist and turn myself into what I thought others wanted of me. This would leave me burnt out and not sure of who I was or wear I stood - but I would blame others and sit in resentment for it. The time with Karen has made me so much more aware of other my own and people’s patterns and habits. I am able to tune in and listen and am confident in why I am responding The coaching has helped rebuild the relationship with my business partner but also allowed me permission to go on my own journey."

    A.P.
    Speech Pathologist, Owner, Speech Pathology Company

  • "I wanted to say a big THANKYOU, without your support and guidance through the time we worked together I wouldn’t have been able to do this!"

    Belinda Broughton
    Operations Manager, IVE Group

  • "I received coaching from Karen over a 6 month period, it’s the most valuable thing I have done over my time as a manager. Karen got me to see things from a different perspective, she challenged my ideas, my way of thinking and how I communicated with people. With the help of Karen my mind became broader. I learnt to accept and find the positives in different people and different mind sets. I gained a greater understanding in the areas where I needed to change and be more accepting. Karen provided me with honest and accurate feedback which enabled me to grow. Through these changes Karen’s coaching and ability to listen was invaluable."

    Charles Elliott
    Manager, Mercedes Benz

  • "First and foremost I found my voice, it was unusual to think that I did not have one as I am always the one speaking, but it was about having the confidence to speak my truth and believe the wisdom of my own words. Normally I would have questioned myself, my value and work, but through my sessions with Karen my mind had been strengthened to believe in my own truth 'that everything is possible and I am the consistent thread."

    Janelle Toomey
    General Manager, Best

  • "There probably aren’t any words that would truly thank you for changing my life. “Changing my life” wow, that’s a big statement when you really think about it, but that’s what you have done for me. I now have a positive energy that I thrive on, I am determined to never let it slip. I look at people and situations in a whole new light. Your approach and guidance made the whole process so easy for me. I truly looked forward to every session. It wasn’t only easy, it was motivating, you made me want to fulfil my potential and I am chasing that purpose which I know I will find through openness and positivity."

    Mick Conway
    General Manager, ACE Filters

  • "Before the program when I was triggered, I would overreact or remain silent. This often left me feeling disconnected, powerless and impacted my energy when around those that triggered me. During the program I gained an understanding of my shadow side and what I didn't like in others was the way I behaved. With this awareness I have a more considered approach. Now, when I see this behaviour in others it makes me smile rather than automatically reacting. Upon completion of the program, I am able to catch myself as I start to feel triggered, pause, reflect on what's going on for me and often see the situation in a different light. This has enabled me to develop solid relationships with a few peers I had previously struggled with."

    Tracey Beckham
    Divisional HR/WHS Manager, Costa Food Group

  • "Before the program I was unknowingly quite dependent on my partner to fulfil my needs, I was becoming more dependent the more I opened myself up to be vulnerable. After completing the program, I am much more grounded in myself, and I no longer feel like I need something or someone outside myself to make me happy. This has given me a rising confidence due to my self worth coming from within for the first time."

  • "Before the program I thought I knew myself and my limitations. Now I know my limitations will only be governed by me and I know myself a whole lot better."
