The single most productive thing a company can do is invest in their people
We go to great lengths to recruit the best staff for our companies, but helping our employees grow and develop often falls by the wayside as we struggle to meet our own commitments.
We also work in extremely stressful environments which is the biggest factor for employees experiencing ill health, and consequently, lost time. Stress in the workplace is responsible for 37% of ill health and of that, 45% of absence*. We know the main stress factors can be workload, tight deadlines, lack of managerial support and overall responsibility so why not add some tools for staff and teams to increase productivity and positive mental health.

How can I help?
Coaching will make your staff (whether freelance or permanent) feel better valued and supported, showing your commitment to their wellbeing and progression. This, in turn, will strengthen their commitment to your organisation – so much so that they may never want to leave!
At senior level, coaching can also help management staff learn how and when to delegate and free up their own valuable time so they can focus on bringing in more new business.
What can you expect?
As a TV executive, I’ve seen countless freelancers hopping between companies with no clear view of the unique values of an organisation. Coaching can help employers in the industry develop a deep and easily communicable understanding of what they do and how they want people to turn up for their organisation. You can transform your key staff into the leaders of the future and their new sense of self will send a powerful message to the people who interact with your company, both short and long term. In addition, training a series producer or production manager can set a standard for the rest of the team which can reap huge rewards.
In the fast-paced TV industry, I also offer ‘speed coaching’ options to iron out any problems that might cause a huge, busy production to go off the rails or overspend.

I’m an experienced Series Producer and, earlier this year, I was faced with making a choice in my work life that would have a large impact on me and my family. Karen was invaluable in helping me process and talk it through, helping me come to a decision that felt right and was made for the right reasons. Karen is empathetic, non-judgmental, intuitive and kind. She truly understands the pressures of an intense work life and complicated industry and has both the life experience and natural ability to help us rationalise difficult decisions. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Karen.”
