Meet Karen
Karen founded BrightBird after more than 20 years working in leadership roles across private, public and VCSE organisations.
She qualified as a management coach in 2007 and holds a Level 7 Diploma in Executive Coaching and Mentoring. She is a member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council and works to its Code of Ethics.
Karen’s clients say she brings clarity and practical action with a supportive, but down-to-earth approach.
As a proud Yorkshirewoman she’s no fluffy-bunny, but steps forward with her clients shoulder-to-shoulder.
Outside of work, she is happiest trekking out on the fells and mountains, whatever the weather.
