In this episode, I chat with Karen Williams - Executive and Leadership Coach, Trainer, Writer and Speaker.
Karen and her team work with leaders across the industry to build environments of high engagement and transformational results.
They do this through Karen’s proven Leadership Excellence framework which includes work on mindset and managing triggers, communication, collaboration, accountability conversations, trust, coach-like leadership and much more.
As an Executive and Leadership coach and trainer, Karen’s work sits at the intersection of four human behavioural methodologies and 20 years’ of transformational coaching experience.
Clients include Brandwatch Country Road Group, Roche Products, Fulton Hogan, Deakin University, Daimler, Burkes Lawyers, Knox City Council, CottonOn Group, Pitcher Partners, Southern Cross Austereo, CitiPower, Stilcon Scaffolding and many more.
A life-affirming four years working in the field of Restorative Justice, facilitating conferences between offenders and victims, cemented for Karen that when people are guided to courageous self-responsibility, supported through trusted and emotionally safe spaces, and skilled to have difficult conversations, truly unexpected and transformational results are possible.
During this conversation, Karen shares insights into her own personal journey back from burnout, why investing in leadership and executive coaching can be life-changing to ourselves and those around us and why and how mindset rules results.
Karen's teachings truly offer us all an opportunity to become embodied leaders and to become the best versions of ourselves.
