Testimonials

“The way Karen asks questions, very warm and supportive, helped me
see things in new ways. This has allowed me on many occasions to see
more options for myself without lowering my expectations….Karen’s
coaching provided a significant amount of insight in a safe, non
threatening manner. It allows more innovation, broader set of options
so I feel less limited in bureaucracy that often has limits built in.

It allows me to see behind more about why some one is behaving a
certain way, not jump to quick reactions, again, more options on how to
respond.”

  “Being a confident young male with a strong personality, I was somewhat skeptical with respect to the value of coaching.  However, I did come in with an open mind, and am still bewildered by how great Karen was at entering and guiding me through my own belief system, attitudes and thoughts.  At the end of our work together, I improved my ability to speak to others to meet their needs and ultimately those of mine and my business.  Like obtaining a Bachelor’s degree, Coaching provides vital skills needed to continue growing and learning.  Working with Karen has tremendously helped not only how I perform at work, but how I feel at the end of the day’s work.”

“I now see what needs to happen and use what is happening around me
to help move things forward, not thinking I need to do it all myself or be
seen as totally self-sufficient. I delegate work more easily, worrying less
about staff doing things wrong. I am better at dealing with bumps without
undue distress.”

Dealing with conflict: 
“The coaching helped me when I am making requests on my own behalf, or when my request gets tangled in others’ needs……..I am able to stand firm beside my partner’s sustained difficult behaviours, letting him do what he needs to do and not take it on myself, and not be reactive.”
