1:1 EXECUTIVE COACHING

Enhance performance, wellbeing and resilience with coaching

Coaching is a powerful intervention that can dramatically enhance individual performance. I believe that you do your best work when you bring focus to your strengths, values and wellbeing.

I  spent many years working in marketing, media and corporate roles, and have a natural affinity to support those working in the creative marketing industry with agencies or who find themselves client-side.

FAQs

  • Coaching sessions take place over an online video meeting. We can use Teams, Google or Zoom. It is also possible for me to come to your office if you are based in Dublin city centre.

    The session is focused on whatever is helpful for you and I bring in various tools to help you think through any business challenges or goals you have. Everything we discuss is confidential to allow for us to have an open and productive session. To get the most out of them, it is helpful to come with a focus in mind.

  • We find a time that suits us both. I typically hold coaching sessions on Mondays and Fridays.

    We decida at the end of every session if you would like to book in another and how much time you would like in between sessions.

    This approach allows you the space to need get things done. When we meet after any session, I act as an accountability partner which some people find very motivational to help them move into action mode.

    If something doesn’t get done for whatever reason, that’s okay - we look for the learnings in it.  

  • The cost is €120 ex VAT per 60-minute session. This takes into account the time I spend in preparation and in following-up with a summary of our session, helpful materials and set of actions.

    If you are registered as a business or a sole trader, you can expense coaching sessions.

    I am VAT registered - meaning if you are also VAT registered, you can claim the VAT back. If you are not registered as a business or sole trader, we can still work together.  

  • People come to coaching when they are looking for change. By asking questions and using proven coaching tools and frameworks, I help you to get clarity on what you want and how to get there.

    When I coach you, I facilitate a journey to help you find those answers by listening and asking questions that encourage self-awareness and critical thinking.  

    My coaching sessions often end with a set of actions that help you to move forward. When I we have multiple sessions, I act as an accountability partner – asking how things went, championing progress made and fostering any new learnings along the way.

    Mentoring is where I share expertise and knowledge that can help you to grow in a particular direction. I have 16+ years working in the creative industry with skills in marketing, business and content production. Some clients find it useful to tap into this expertise and if wanted I can offer perspectives from time to time. As a mentor, I never tell you what to do.  I share my experience and perspective to help you form your own conclusions around what actions are right for you to take.   

    Therapists manage mental illnesses and diagnoses and often work with clients for long periods of time. They focus on the past, while in coaching, our conversations are predominately present and future oriented.

More kind words

  • Before meeting Karen I felt I was at a bit of a crossroads with my career and not sure what to do next. I didn't feel like I was in a good place. After a few coaching sessions with Karen she helped me see what I had already achieved in a positive light. Her understanding, practical and empathic coaching helped me change my business mindset and confidence going forward. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone who needs help with their career.

    ART DIRECTOR

  • I had a fantastic coaching experience with Karen. She asked thought provoking questions which really made me think deeply. I enjoyed each session but my personal favourite was the one which helped me organise the different aspects of my business that helped me to clearly see what I needed to focus on. All in all, it was a great experience which I’m grateful for.
