Karen O'Connor
My coaching is informed by hundreds of hours working with clients ranging from leaders in Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 organisations, to household-name brands in media, global technology and retail — as well as the social sector and professionals returning to work after long absences.

I also offer training and consultancy in the media sector
