I’M KAREN HUDSON – PROFESSIONAL COACH, TV EXECUTIVE AND FOUNDER OF HUDINI

Having freelanced in the TV industry for 16 years, I know a thing or two about adaptability, fast-paced working environments, and achieving a happy work / life equilibrium in order to avoid burnout. I’m also no stranger to finding calm within chaos. As well as coming home to my husband, young daughter and demanding dog Doris, I have a large extended family (my mum being one of ten) that I enjoy giving my time and attention to.

Why coaching?

Managing wonderfully creative, hard-working production teams for huge shows like Amazon’s The Grand Tour and Channel 4’s The Island with Bear Grylls has been an integral part of my career so far. In these roles, I’ve developed the ability to build and nurture new relationships quickly, with trust and integrity.

Emerging as a natural mentor and trusted advisor for colleagues and associates, I have a passion for helping others get the best out of themselves, their lives and careers. I believe it’s possible for even the busiest of us to achieve a happy equilibrium, where all parts of ourselves receive the attention they deserve.

Coaching allows me to accompany people as they make the changes needed to grow into the best possible versions of themselves. It’s always a pleasure and a privilege to be part of that journey. 

Why WORK WITH ME?

I understand what makes people tick and thrive on collaborating with incredible, passionate and dedicated individuals, like you.

I believe that we’re all pioneers of our own futures and that everyone deserves to lead a life filled with energy and confidence. This said, it’s natural to lose our way at times, lacking self-belief and focus, becoming confused and unmotivated. Often, all we need is a guide to help us get back on track and fast-track us to a better future. That’s where an experienced and qualified coach can be invaluable.

I also understand companies; their culture and values and the passionate drive of the business owner to succeed. I help create happy workplaces that people want to be a part of.

My qualifications

I’m passionate about coaching, but I’m equally committed to ensuring I practice responsibly (loving my job doesn’t make me qualified to do it).

I completed my training under a globally accredited organisation, fully accredited by both the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the Advanced Coaching Academy (ACA) and included principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP).

I’ve also completed a professional course in mental health first-aid training, allowing me to recognise and better support those who may need a little more help.
