OVERCOME STRESS TO REGAIN CONFIDENCE, CLARITY AND CONTROL
“Stress is the trash of modern life-we all generate it, but if you don't dispose of it properly, it will pile up and overtake your life.”
Danzae Pace
IS THIS YOU?
You've worked your way up the corporate career ladder and now you're at or near the top, and you're proud of what you've achieved.
​
However, the long hours and mental energy that corporate leadership requires means that your main focus for a long time has been work, and it's taken its toll.​
You're:​
​
~ Feeling stressed out, anxious, overwhelmed and/or exhausted.
~ Overthinking about what happened today at work and what needs to happen tomorrow
~ Worried about your performance at work, and thinking that you're not doing enough
~ Unable to get clarity of thought about what to do next to get back in control
~ Feeling a lack of confidence in your abilities, which is starting to impact your performance
~ Anxious about work taking over everything else in your life.
~ Worrying about your health and wanting to make time for healthier habits.
~ Experiencing physical, emotional, or behavioural symptoms of stress.
​
Do you want this instead?
​​​
~ Find Clarity Amongst the Chaos: cut through the mental clutter and overwhelm, so that you know where to focus your attention, and feel more in control of your workload and priorities.
~ Rebuild Your Confidence: feel stronger and more assured in your abilities, so that you can lead with clarity and conviction.
~ Stay Calm Under Pressure: identify your personal stress triggers and equip yourself with the tools to stay calm and composed, so that you feel capable of handling any challenge.
~ Balance Work and Life: establish boundaries that enable you to excel at work without compromising your personal life, so that you can create space for your health, relationships, and hobbies.
~ Build Lasting Resilience: develop your personalised strategies to manage stress and maintain your wellbeing long-term, so that you can thrive as both a leader and a human.

COACHING FOR ORGANISATIONS
I work with learning delivery leaders and managers to help them better manage stress, so that they can be more confident, have more clarity and feel more in control at work.
Having worked in corporate environments for 23 years, and learning delivery leadership for 12 of those, I understand the level of stress that comes with operations and delivery roles, the challenges that occur every day, and how important it is to feel confident and in control.
I believe in the power of coaching to build on strengths, overcome weaknesses, better manage stress, improve performance, and increase confidence.
I support learning delivery leaders and managers with:
​Leading and thriving through change
Getting clarity on what needs to be done
Improving team, stakeholder, peer relationships
Being bolder in communication
Being more decisive in challenging situations
Working smarter: time management, organisation
and prioritisation
Stress management and burnout
prevention
Increasing confidence and self-belief

MY STORY
I am a recovering perfectionist who spent many years striving to meet my own 'unrelenting standards' in my work and personal life.
​
I climbed the corporate ladder for more than two decades, experiencing chronic stress and anxiety, and at the end of 2020 I had a burnout which brought me to my physical and emotional knees .
​
Since then, I have rebuilt my life to where I am today, still successful in business whilst living the much calmer and more balanced life that I have, deep down, always wanted to live.
Since my burnout I have gone through a process of change in every area of my life.
This led me to leave my corporate career and set up my own business, and now I'm living and working around the world (currently based in Brighton after a year living in between Thailand and Bali).
I've overcome my 'unrelenting standards' and constant need to prove myself, to be much more confident, calmer, and in control. I'm living a healthier and calmer lifestyle based on better nutrition and health habits, and a foundation of yoga, meditation and self-care. It's a continuous journey that I'm thankful for every day.
Fundamental life and/or work change can seem impossible, frightening and stressful. I love to work with people to support them through this, so they can create the life and career they really want, and be the calmer, confident and in- control person they want to be.
​
Why you can trust me to deliver:
​
~ You're in safe hands with my 6 years of coaching experience, working with both individuals and organisations to support leaders with stress management and burnout prevention.
~ You’ll be working with someone who has experience of your challenges: 23 years working in corporate environments, with 10 of these in learning delivery and operations and leadership roles.
~ You’ll be working with someone who experienced chronic stress and anxiety for many years, culminating in burnout in 2020, and who has changed every area of their life since then to move to a calmer, much more balanced life founded on healthy habits and self-care, blended with business success and performance.

HAPPY CLIENTS
Karen is a great listener and gave me lots of space to formulate my own conclusions. Karen asked me for permission to give me her impression, which I also really appreciated, and she made some insightful comments in the nicest possible way. Speaking with her has helped me to take a step back and look at things from a different perspective, it even helped me in a much larger way in the end because having an objective listener caused me to examine myself much more carefully. I can now see clearly that there are parallels between my frustration with this one issue and other difficulties that I am having in my current situation. What is called 'taking a look in the mirror' is what occurred for me, and I felt that Karen was a kind guide for the process, I never felt judged although some of the conclusions I came to mean I have to make some changes to the way I see and approach things. Karen is a skillful guide.
