Happy People are Productive People

Transform Your Business with KR 4 HR Coaching & Consultancy

I am a great believer that “Happy People are Productive People” and I help ambitious SME Leaders, to grow their business through their greatest asset - their people.

With nearly 20 years’ experience as a HR generalist working with Senior Leadership teams and Boards, I am perfectly placed to support you with your HR and Coaching requirements.

I have lived and breathed the entire employee lifecycle; day-to-day transactional needs, people problems, one off specialty people projects and future planning people strategy. There isn’t a lot I haven’t dealt with!

As an accredited Coach I have supported Senior Leaders and Boards with clarity, confidence and accountability. Helping put structure behind thought processes, supporting and challenging difficult decisions, and guiding personal and professional journeys.

I love supporting SME’s; I am very passionate about what I do, and gain true satisfaction from making a difference to people's work lives by helping build something truly successful.

How can I support you and the people in your business?

Coaching Services

“I have had Karen as my coach for a few months now and during that time, she has been a tremendous support. Karen has a calming presence, and I have always felt able to bring any topic to our coaching sessions. She has helped me to navigate through many challenges and dig deep in exploring different options and perspectives. I’ve had many ‘aha’ moments in my sessions with Karen and she has guided me to take powerful actions forward. I would absolutely recommend Karen to anyone who is open to learning more about themselves, exploring how to overcome a challenge or even get unstuck with something.”
