Does something need to CHANGE?
- Do you feel stuck in your career, but have no idea what to do about it?
- Are you stressed and overwhelmed?
- Are you fed up of missing out on time with family and friends because you’re working so much?
- Do you find yourself wondering: Is this it??
- Are you convincing yourself to stay where you are, because 'it's better the devil you know'?
- Have you lost your confidence?
- Are you unsure what else you could do, or where?
- Are you ready to change but have no idea where to start?
According to the 2022 Gallup Global Workplace report, only 21% of us are engaged in our careers
So 79% of us want something more from our careers
And we spend 1/3 of our lives working!
But this doesn’t have to be the case; if we know what we want we can take ownership and change it!
Imagine no longer dreading Mondays, but enjoying your career!
Imagine feeling a balance across your work and other areas of your life!
Imagine knowing you and your contributions are valuable!
Imagine loving your life!
Here’s the great news...
You don’t have to imagine it!
This will all be yours when you believe in yourself and start creating CHANGE!
... helped me get to the next step in my career ... I am beyond ecstatic ...
Clarity… that one word just jumped off the screen at me. My message to Karen, "I feel like I’m at the point something needs to change but I don’t know exactly what that is or what my next step should even be." That was the beginning of a wonderful journey to achieve both the clarity and confidence to navigate my way through planning the next phase of my career. After almost 18 years at the same company I felt disconnected and lost in my profession. Worse yet, my personal life had changed so much over 18 years leaving me zero time and energy to even put into myself or my career. Karen helped me find the confidence to set boundaries and set aside that sliver of time each day to start focusing on just me and my career and wow did the confidence really grow from there! We progressed with learning and leveraging tools to help me realize underlying saboteurs holding me back, re-assess my priorities (which let me tell you really change over 18 years and quite honestly should have been re-assessed LONG ago!), highlight my skills, and with my new-found clarity work on a plan (including those important ground rules, boundaries, and timeline) to help me get to the next step in my career. More to come on where I will land, but I am beyond ecstatic I now have the clarity and confidence to get there! - Debra Bowerman, Career Coaching clientWe spend around 90,000 hours of our lives working
So “ok”, “meh” or “fine” isn’t good enough
We all deserve to love our jobs!
... I have a new job and will never look back ...
I was stuck in a highly stressful job which made me miserable, I kept thinking it would get better but it just got worse. I stuck it out for a long time as I didn’t have the confidence to move to another job and to prove myself all over again. Karen really helped me to take the plunge and find the confidence in myself to look for a new job. She had a highly effective way of helping me to identify my skills and values and how to make these shine through in the interview. I’m so thankful to Karen for believing in me when I couldn’t, and for helping me to believe in myself. I have a new job and will never look back - TB, Career Coaching clientMy mission is to help as many people as possible who feel stuck in their careers, to create CHANGE so they can love their job!

... improved focus and confidence to progress my career ...
Karen has really helped me explore my future career options, using a very holistic and reflective approach, highlighting what really matters as I change course. I was impressed how quickly she was able to guide my thinking with practical and thought-provoking tools, resulting in improved focus and confidence to progress my career to the next chapter. I thoroughly recommend her to others going through the same transition. - Jon T, Career Coaching clientHi, I’m Karen, I’m a Career & Confidence Coach and I LOVE my job!
It wasn’t always that way though…
I fell into my corporate project management job straight out of university because I had no idea what I actually wanted to do, and the opportunity came up
I stayed because I thought it was a secure role, where I had the flexibility to work part time, and I didn’t hate it… it was “ok” or “fine” but I definitely never loved it.
Then I stayed some more because I didn’t know what else I could do, I had lost all my confidence so didn’t believe anyone else would employ me anyway, and even if they would, I had no idea where to start.
Then I was made redundant: panic!
But then I realised it was my perfect opportunity: to find out what I actually wanted to do!
What I learned across my career but particularly through the redundancy experience and starting up my own business, form the basis of my CHANGE programme
I want you to know you always have options, there is always something you can CHANGE
And you don’t have to wait to be pushed like I did – in fact please DO NOT wait!
Working together through CHANGE will take you from feeling stuck, to knowing what’s important, designing your future and taking confident, decisive action to reignite your career doing a job you love!

Here's what people are saying:
...able to take control of my life and career...
We spent time looking at my core values and priorities, what is important for me and what I may want from the future. As a result of this, I am now much more self-aware and have been able to create a development plan and roadmap for my future career including clearer work/life balance to enable me to be at my most effective both at work and at home.
I now feel much more able to take control of my life and career with a clearer understanding of my boundaries and responsibilities - Lisa H. Career Coaching client
...Got me thinking about my professional situation… and family… enlightening...
I would not hesitate to recommend Karen as a coach. Her calm, friendly, professional manner made me feel at ease instantly. From the start Karen clearly explained the process and how the sessions would be structured, although there was some flexibility within that, and I found our sessions really flowed.
Karen got me thinking about my professional situation and what’s important to me and my family in a way that I’ve not done before which has been really enlightening for me. - Julie L.
...I am able to... better appreciate my own worth and celebrate my achievements...
After the first session I saw a major positive change. After 7 sessions in total I am able to:

- Reduce the emotion felt when things don't go to plan or people treat me badly
- Re-live the feeling of happiness and relaxation during more challenging times
- Better appreciate my own worth and celebrate my achievements
- Better identify where I want to be in life and the changes needed to get me there
