Jane,
Aged Care General Manager
Given Karen understands from having been in the role, I didn't waste time trying to explain the industry and my challenges. She just got it!
I really benefited from her years of experience, calm manner and reassuring approach.
She let me pour out all my issues, then calmly focused me to what I needed to do.

Amber,
Care Manager
I actually took on a new job midway through the mentoring. I knew that I had many challenging times and discussions ahead of me.
If I had not had this mentoring and gained confidence and insight, then I would never have volunteered to take on the role.
I knew Karen was there to support me when I needed it most.

Matthew,
Regional Manager
Karen listened, challenged, and supported me in decision-making, helped me prioritise, and made me feel worthwhile in my choices.
I found coaching so useful that I extended it for another 6 months while I settle into a new role. I would encourage others to explore and get curious with a coach for issues that seem too hard!.

Karen has great listening and reflection skills, which enabled me to identify and seize my most challenging issues at work.
She assisted me to put this into perspective and set some realistic goals to achieve a manageable outcome.
I highly recommend!
