Growth, change and tension are naturally occurring in the life of busy organisations. In such times Karen works alongside leaders who are determined to get their people thinking and working together more effectively.

Facilitator

Effective, independent facilitation helps get people listening and talking in focused ways. Keeping the conversation inclusive, on track and moving forward ensures that outcomes are achieved. I provide interactive processes for:

• Stakeholder conversations with groups such as sector leaders, iwi partners, customers, supplier, staff, management teams, funding partners
• Strategic planning and review
• Giving and receiving challenging feedback
• Building trust
• Getting past conflict to cooperation and learning.

Coach

I work closely with leaders who are committed to developing themselves to be better and do better. Coaching is a potent catalyst to achieve self management strategies, develop qualities of character or attain stretchy self-set goals. This is a provocative support relationship that empowers you to get more of what you want.
