FlexAbility Coaching
Are you a high achiever AND you want to live a rich and fulfilling life?
Just because you set high standards and seek to excel doesn’t mean you have to overwork.
Right now you’re struggling to get on top of the everyday challenges. You keep feeling that there will be some let-up in the pressures, but with the ever-changing landscape of the pandemic, that’s not guaranteed to happen soon.
As a high achiever, you’re ripe for overwork. You set high standards, and you enjoy meeting them. You have a strong work ethic, and you take your teams’ responsibilities seriously. You’re a willing worker, and you’re prepared to do what it takes.
But there’s a tipping point, and it’s not always easy to notice it. When the pressure builds, you do too much, care too much and try too hard. Chronic stress and burnout loom. You start to doubt yourself, make mistakes and feel like a fraud.
This is what overwork does to amazing people. You can’t necessarily change the context, but you can change how it affects you. Working ‘regular hours’, and even ‘flexible work’ just don’t get cut through in this context. What you need is something that will help rise above the slipstream, and find your own flow.
Roadblocks
One of these roadblocks might be stopping you from getting the support you need:
You think you might wait til you're less busy, even though there seems to be no let-up to your busy-ness
Everyone else seems just as busy, perhaps you should just stick it out too
You're worried that if you let your guard down now, you might be completely overwhelmed
You sometimes think you might be better off just to give up your career dreams and opt for a simpler life
As a high achiever, you tend to believe that you just need to try harder, and then the challenges will go away.
That’s a slippery slope to working harder and harder.
You don’t want to take the easy route, but things definitely need to get easier! What you need is someone who can help you get flexAble. FlexAbility is the freedom you grant yourself to avoid the sacrifices of overwork and live a rich, purpose-filled life, doing meaningful work while prioritising your wellbeing.
You need an experienced leadership coach with a proven track record, to help you to regain your freedom. Someone who truly understands what you’re going through, and who will help you to recalibrate your purpose and work structure.
Someone who will help you to refocus on what’s most important, to help you set up a sustainable work rhythm that reduces the trade-offs you feel pressured to make. To set up a work structure and program that allows you to do your best work, leaving energy for home and life.
Work will still be important to you, you might still work long hours, but you’ll know why you do. Your mind won’t feel pulled in so many different directions that time feels like confetti. You will feel composed, vital, focused and free to be the influential leader you aspire to be.

What Executive Leaders have to say about Karen’s coaching program
Karen’s coaching came at a critical time in my leadership journey. She skilfully accelerated my development and opened up critical insights to increase my self awareness and effectiveness at the executive level. Highly approachable whilst also laser sharp! Thank you Dr Karen!
I had the pleasure of being supported by Karen on my leadership journey in her role as an executive coach in the last 12 months. During this period we had lots of meaningful conversations around purpose driven leadership and really enjoyed working with her. Really made a difference to me and can highly recommend her!
It was great working with Karen. Karen provided great guidance as I moved into an executive level role. Her insights and understanding of human behaviour helped me establish myself in this role. Karen ensures an environment that is open and is very approachable. Thank you.
Karen has a strong understanding of the challenges and complexities of corporate and executive work, expectations and navigations required. My sessions with Karen provided a very comfortable opportunity to share the challenges experienced as a relatively new-comer to corporate work. Her way of working and exploring the client thinking is such that shared problems/challenges were reflected and directed back to me so that clarity and understanding of self increased and allowed growth. Having never had coaching before, I highly recommend Karen as someone who draws out insecurities, provides practical strategies and tools and ensures the sessions build on previous learning and content. An excellent coach!
When you first meet Karen, you know you’re in the presence of someone who isn’t going to listen to your bullsh*t excuses and she isn’t going to let you get away with not doing the work – but all in the nicest of ways! I didn’t know what to expect or where we would end up after our coaching – but the outcomes were beyond anything I could have imagined. The insight that Karen brings to the table is incredibly accurate – and whilst at times confronting, Karen is there with you every step of the way to figure out the path forward. Karen’s honesty pushes you and kindly forces you to challenge your thinking and face your fears – if you are stuck and need to move, I highly recommend engaging Karen to push you and support you on the journey.
