I met Karin at a very pivotal point in my career and my life, facing uncertainties around my role and career in general. We met at the WISE conference in Seoul, where I happened to be looking for inspiration and guidance from fellow women leaders.
At that point, several people had told me about the impact coaching had in their careers. But deep down, I knew I was looking for more than just career advice - I needed a whole overhaul on my outlook on life.
What drew me to Karin and her approach is her view that wellbeing and the concept of taking care of the self is not mutually exclusive from being an effective leader. If anything, in order to be successful in your career, nurturing the self and being aware of mind and body is non-negotiable, be it through breath work, somatic coaching, physical exercise, or spirituality - none of which I would have looked into if it weren't for Karin's advice and guidance.
The coaching experience not only got me promoted within my company, along with greater visibility and leadership responsibility at work, but gave me an upgrade on my career, my sense of self, and my outlook on life. Through language that helped me understand my growth such as PQ reps, saboteurs, etc, I was given the tools to make lasting change. I am better at work - more effective, efficient, and coming to conclusions and drawing insights I wouldn't have otherwise; but also feeling more energized, present and balanced in my personal life. I now understand that it is possible to prioritize yourself, your family and your wellbeing, and these things are the key to being more successful. I highly recommend Karin if you are looking for a truly well-rounded, holistic look at your career and how that fits into your life. Thanks Karin!
