"Karen is a knowledgeable and intelligent woman who can evaluate and understand the needs of her clients to create effective customised workshops.

She draws the best out in people, encourages creative thinking and raises people's awareness of their own capability in changing the challenging work environments.

I have had the privilege to work with Karen several times in a co-facilitation capacity, she is highly professional, responsive, fun, energetic and highly astute. This is one five-star woman!”

"Karen has worked with me over my time as the Head of People & Capability at BOP Regional Council. She worked as a change consultant, reviewing the change initiatives across the organisation, developing recommendations and supporting large change initiatives.

Karen has the most amazing ability to build trust quickly with people, understand business challenges and is quick to engage to add value. She has been a fabulous support to the organisation and to myself as an expert in her field and coach."

Judith West, Bay of Plenty Regional Council

“I have had the great fortune to work with Karen for over a decade on a variety of projects in several different workplaces. Karen is exceptional to with because she is dedicated to ensuring the best possible outcomes for the stakeholders she is there to serve. This comes through in the approach Karen takes by applying a pragmatic, collaborative and flexible way of working. Karen brings a wonderful range of skills and experience to the table from a deep grounding in learning and organisational development, change management and human centred design. This means the projects, solutions and outcomes we have worked on together have been well received, added value and delivered the expected outcomes for key stakeholders. Key stakeholders that work with Karen typically make comments like this “that was awesome, I learnt so much, Karen is awesome - can Karen work with us more or come join the team?” I think one of the other great qualities Karen displays is her ability to build rapport and engage teams, all the while balancing this by challenging status quo and straight talking. I welcome any opportunity I get to work alongside her as I know she won’t let me down and we will deliver great mahi together.”

Megan Scott, Senior Organisational Development and Human Resources Leader
