Professional Background
Karen is a trained accountant with over ten years of professional experience in auditing and accounting. Her experience spans both the private and public sector where she is a team leader and works with a wide range of stakeholders. Over the years, she has learnt to appreciate that everyone is gifted in their own way with unique contributions that they can bring to every table. Through her work, she understands the importance of partnership and collaboration with others when working towards a common goal.
Coaching Specialty
In coaching, areas that Karen is passionate about are relationship building (with others and with self) and finding your authentic self.
Personal Background
As a mother and a team leader, Karen searched for a communication approach that seeks to empower and inspire her teammates and children, instead of the typical “top-down” style of communication. She discovered the impact of coaching through a conversation with an executive coach and ever since that moment, she decided to develop her skills as a coach to bring its positive and powerful impact to both her work and personal relationships.
Coaching Style
Karen believes in bringing joy to daily interactions by injecting positivity and humour to create uplifting moments that brightens everyone’s day. She creates a safe space for sharing and will work closely with her coachees to achieve the goals that they have set for themselves.
Personal Philosophy
Quite an introvert herself, Karen cherishes meaningful connections and also deeply appreciates the importance of finding time to recharge and reflect. She believes that finding a balance between these two areas can help everyone in forming deep and impactful connections with others as well as understanding one’s strengths and fostering a sense of inner peace and fulfillment.
