"The contracting for supervision was very robust, the aims and handling of the session clear and at all times a very clearly signposted, responsive session.  I have benefited in having had the space to reflect on my coaching performance.   Karen guided me towards a deep reflection around Imposter Syndrome that had been showing up.     While I coach strongly in the moment, I realise I speak more hesitantly around my own competence – the result of a long held thinking habit that no longer serves me.    As a result I have created a regular practice of identifying and calling out this habit as it appears and replacing it with a new thinking habit that is building a strong self-presentation.  I am very grateful to Karen for strong, insightful support"​. Julian Independent Coach

"I have identified, through coaching, that I experience Impostor Syndrome. By understanding how that affects my rationale I am now able to work objectively to minimise its effects. This has been of great benefit in my personal and work life.  Coaching has been of great value in my personal development and, as a short term piece of work, is well suited to the work environment without feeling that you are committed to a long-term project with an ambiguous end date. What is particularly appealing is that Coaching pushes you to analyse, make decisions and draw your own conclusions rather than having another’s opinion imposed on you and giving you ‘the answers’". Kirsty, Local Government Officer.

"My motivation has been improved by focusing on areas where I can have a positive impact
I found the process helpful and rewarding. My coach was excellent in terms of her supportive approach and establishing a rapport on a different level to our usual working relationship". Steve, Local Government Officer.

"The coaching methods used with Karen enabled me to analyse and examine my behaviour patterns and those of others around me. This was achieved in a surprisingly short period of time and has resulted in improved relationships with colleagues and on a personal level. This has ultimately  had a knock on effect, improving my confidence to take on and develop new challenges in my role". Jayne, private client.

"At the outset of the coaching I was struggling to manage a relationship at work. This is clearly detrimental to me and the business.  The sessions helped me evaluate my approach which has a positive outcome in the workplace through reduction of friction". Ian, Local Government Director.
