OVERCOME STRESS TO CREATE MORE BALANCE IN LIFE

“Don't measure your success by how much you get done; measure it by how much you enjoy each part of your life.”

Is This You?

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 you're feeling stressed and exhausted.

You're not performing as well as you used to at work, you don't prioritise yourself and your health, you're not as present for the people in your life as you want to be, and you have no time for activities you used to enjoy.

Maybe you're:

~ Tired, stressed out, overwhelmed and anxious

~ Experiencing physical symptoms of stress: headaches, faster heartbeat, muscle tension, digestive issues

~ Experiencing emotional symptoms of stress: constantly worrying, struggling to make decisions, difficulty concentrating, being forgetful

~ Experiencing behavioural symptoms of stress: problems sleeping, irritable and snappy, eating too much or too little, indulging more in unhealthy habits

~ Overthinking about what happened today at work or what needs to happen tomorrow

~ Anxious about not being present for the people in your life, or not having time to do what you want to both at and outside of work

~ Worrying about your health and not being able to prioritise it

If this sounds like you, book a call and let's chat about how we could work together.

Work out your level of stress and how the symptoms are impacting your life.

How to get back to who you really are, and be calmer and more in control.

~ I think about work all the time

Ways to switch off and focus on other things when you're not at work.

Work out what you want from all areas of life, and create a plan to get there, without affecting your career success.

~ I don't have enough time

Set and maintain boundaries to create more time for you.

Prioritise yourself over everything else and introduce healthier habits long term.

Coaching for Organisations

COACHING FOR ORGANISATIONS

I work with client delivery and operations leaders in small to medium sized organisations who want to offer stress and burnout management and prevention support to their leaders to help them thrive in their roles.

Having worked in corporate environments for 23 years at all levels up to Executive and Board, I understand the challenges that occur every day, and believe in the power of coaching to build on strengths, overcome weaknesses, better manage stress, improve performance, and increase satisfaction and happiness levels.

I work with leaders one-on-one for three, six or ten session-programmes, depending on the objective.

I also work with companies on a retained basis, spending either one day per week, bi-weekly, or monthly in-business, again depending on the objectives and the group of individuals selected for coaching.

I can conduct coaching sessions either weekly or bi-weekly, and either virtually, or face-to-face if preferred and based in London.

I can support leaders with:

Leading and thriving through change

Improving team, stakeholder, peer relationships

Being more decisive in challenging situations

Stress management and burnout

prevention

Improving team and stakeholder management skills

Being bolder in communication

Working smarter: time management, organisation

and prioritisation

Increased confidence for new leaders

Prices per session start at £200 and retained days start at £1000

I offer a 30-minute meeting to discuss your objectives for coaching within your organisation. During this we can discuss programme options and potential ways of working that meet the needs of your company culture and the individuals that are going to be coached.

MY STORY

Picture of life change and executive coach sat in cafe looking friendly and open and ready for coaching

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, living the much calmer and balanced life that I have, deep down, always wanted to live, with happiness in all areas, not just work.

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 businesses, and I’m now living and working around the world (currently based in my hometown of London for a year, after a year living in between Thailand and Bali).

I’ve also moved to a much healthier and calmer lifestyle based on better nutrition and 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 and transition can seem impossible, frightening and stressful. I love to work with people to support them through this, so that they can create the life and career they really want.

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.
