Testimonials and case studies
"I have to say that the presentation went really well – and I have no doubt that this was due to your help in giving me the techniques to manage my nerves. I’ve had some really positive feedback from both my colleagues in Marketing and members of the audience, who said that I came across as a confident presenter…"
"Her thought-provoking coaching delivered in her calm yet constructive manner smoothes away your corporate concerns and believe me she's seen it all before. Probably one of the most qualified and competent management coaches I've ever met."
"The directors have had an almost evangelical change in their approach and rapid action has taken place to address some of the issues."
"I really value the work that you do and would not hesitate to recommend you in the future. The service that you provide gives me an opportunity to offer things that are outside of the box."
"Karen has a wide experience in all forms of communication at work and strong skills in helping clarify and make progress towards their aspirations, both personal and work-based. Her enthusiasm is infectious and her commitment impressive."
"A cross between Boadicea and the Dalai Lama – impossible to imagine until you’ve met Karen Kimberley. She’s the business equivalent of a bikini area waxing – you’ll feel better in places you didn’t know you had! Karen has trained more winners than the Mahktoum brothers."

Case study #1
“Karen was recommended by a colleague when I felt my team consisting of several technical IT specialists, who were going through a difficult transitional phase, needed some time out of the office to gel and bond. Karen’s training style and ability to connect with the team, some of whom were a little reluctant to participate in a ‘soft skill’ training exercise, drawing out issues that needing addressing before then helping the team build pragmatic action plans to tackle the issues raised, exceeded all my expectations.
As a result of those group sessions I felt sufficiently inspired by Karen’s knowledge and style to enlist Karen as a personal coach and mentor and regularly spend time with Karen to help me forge a way forward where I have challenges that are leaving me perplexed and need a sounding board to work through my thoughts.”

Case study #2
"We engaged with Karen and Lindsey during 2020, to provide support to our employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the employee wellness sessions was to provide employees with ways to improve their wellness and resilience during the pandemic, increasing confidence and performance whilst reducing stress and anxiety during the uncertainty of the current climate.
The service we had from Karen and Lindsey was exceptional; during the planning and pilot stage the course was designed and tools developed to suit the needs and challenges our workforce were facing. During the delivery of the sessions there was the flexibility to adapt and change the session slightly to suit the needs of that individual group. All employees who attended, found the session extremely beneficial and in turn the company could see the positive impact it had to the business and the wellbeing of employees.
The support after the session was equally as positive and employees really enjoyed having the weekly 'Friday Tips' email which reinforces the key techniques from the sessions."
