Hello
My name is Karen Boswell
I am an executive coach for leaders who want to lean in to change and unleash their full potential.
​
I work with board members, executives, business owners and self-starters that want to reframe their thinking and clear a path to the future they really want. I take an empathetic approach to coaching and draw on a variety of tools and techniques that advocate for both personal and professional growth so you can bring your whole self to the game.
​
I live my values of collaboration, curiosity, creativity, and courage at every step. Working with me will feel inspiring, fresh, and sometimes uncomfortable, but that’s a good thing, because that means you’ve chosen to change.
Coaching for Change
Change is a constant. Sometimes we see it coming, sometimes we don't. Sometimes it brings situations and feelings we want to welcome, at other times change brings challenges or struggles that require fresh perspective and renewed paths forward. I believe that change presents us with a choice; to lean into growth, or step back to comfort.
​
If you are facing change and choosing to lean in, or have a desire to change but you're not quite clear on your future path, as long as you have commitment to yourself to do something about it then I can help.
Still Curious about Coaching?
You're not alone.
Here are some of the questions I get asked the most when my clients first come to me about the potential of coaching.
First up, what is coaching?
Coaching is a conversation with purpose, we will work together to move you forward in an area where you define yourself and your desired future state. Coaching is a creative and thought provoking process that can help unlock your full personal, and professional potential.
Is it for me?
If you're not sure, some things to explore are, are you stuck? Do you have an ambition that eludes you, or perhaps you're afraid to stake a claim to? Do you want to achieve more? Perhaps you have a clear goal, but things keep getting in the way? Or you just have that sense that things could be derailed and you want a handle on it? If you answered yes to any of these, then coaching could be for you.
​OK, sounds good but is it difficult?
As a coachee you need to have a desire to make a change, that's the hardest part. If you've got there, and you're here reading this then the next thing you need to be prepared for is to open up as you will be doing most of the talking and thinking. That said, I will be with you every step of the way. I will be there to listen deeply, help you sort through and reframe your thoughts, ask you specific questions based on my observations of what you bring to our sessions, challenge you and most importantly create the space and time for you to think and work toward your desired future state.
How long does it take?
It’s possible to achieve some great results in just one session if you are very focused on what you need to achieve, and if you have a specific reason to achieve change faster, we can book sessions fortnightly, or even weekly, to speed things up. However, it’s really common that self-awareness grows between the sessions, as you go about your daily work life, and so it’s important to allow enough time between sessions for this to happen. A typical coaching partnership working toward a clear goal will take around 4-6 sessions of about 60-90 minutes each.
Where do they take place?
It's up to you! I offer both online and in person sessions. We can discuss what's best for you.
Alright - I'm in! How do I start?
You just did! Congratulations on taking the first step toward your future design. The next step is to book a FREE 30 minute introductory session so we can get to know each other and decide if we're a good fit for a coaching partnership. You can say hello here.
