Most of us understand that emotional intelligence is one of the most important and undervalued skills necessary for leadership. Relationship management and in particular interpersonal communications enable us to get the best out of others.
Karen works with clients to develop their ability to inspire and influence others, to communicate and to build a listening culture and help them develop a growth mindset.
As a believer in the power of thinking time to create insightful reflection and better outcomes, I provide clients with the structure and space to think clearly. This enables them to unpack their experiences, to generate a body of positive decisions and inputs, which builds on confidence and lessons learned.
Karen supports clients to step back from their emotions and to see their journeys with greater clarity and focus so that they can commit themselves to the best outcomes.
Karen has worked with some leading organisations in Ireland and overseas.
