Testimonials

Our work with Karin Holley on Positive Intelligence has been nothing short of transformational. As a school principal leading a team of middle level leaders, this coaching experience has helped us grow not only as professionals, but as human beings. Karin’s guidance has sharpened our ability to lead with clarity, empathy, and purpose.

I find work-life balance to be quite difficult, but this coaching journey has not only boosted my confidence but also enhanced my ability to be present and reflective, leading to significant improvements in both my professional and personal realms.

A lot of things seemed beyond my control. It kind of felt like my time wasn’t my own. Working with Karin, I’ve understood I really can work towards a lot more calm and control.

I began working with Karin to improve my leadership and communication skills and manage anxiety in high-stakes meetings. Her thoughtful approach—including techniques from meditation, self-reflection, and data-gathering—helped me understand the roots of my anxiety (perfectionism and fear of failure). Karin helped me recognize that striving for perfect alignment in any one area can create imbalance over time. Life is a constant flux of finding harmony between personal values and society—and acknowledging that has been transformative.

Although I had just moved to another country for a new career assignment, I soon realized that I was falling back into a repeated pattern of stress and frustration in my approach to work, family and other personal situations. It dawned on me that regardless of the change in my external environment, I had to find a way to adjust my inner thinking at a subconscious level. 

Although I was initially hesitant (asking for support wasn’t something that came naturally) I’d heard such positive things about Karin that I decided to give it a go. I’m so glad I did. One of the most powerful realisations for me was that I don’t need to carry everything on my own.
