Karen Morley leaning on her elbow looking thoughtful

Welcome!


My name is Dr Karen Morley and I am passionate about accelerating leadership careers and inspiring inclusion in the workplace.

Using the latest evidence, validated benchmarks and inspiring coaching methods, I work closely with executives and organisations in Australia to optimise their leadership skills and accelerate their growth.

The most effective leaders use everyone’s talents to the full, and my programs promote inclusive leadership strategies and practices. I also engage gender balanced leadership and help women to succeed in senior organisational roles.
