about karen

 

My training purpose is to integrate personal and professional development in the workplace through mindfulness training, to create a sustainable workplace - where people are both physically and psychologically engaged

 

I bring together ideas and skills related to mindfulness, which have their basis in positive psychology. My work in both clinical and corporate settings over 20 years has enabled me to create powerful tools for real change in people's lives. I know how to listen to your needs and assist you achieve the results you want. ISE has developed and implemented services and programs within the public, private and community sectors, both in metropolitan and regional areas. Rather than seeking to provide a one-off solution for 'fixing people', I look for long term benefits which encourage people to not only have awareness about their behaviour but also practical skills for changing their behaviour.

Mindfulness is about paying attention and seeing yourself more clearly: your thoughts and your behaviours.
The result is that you are more likely to be able to:

• learn to 'hold tension'
• pay attention, even in highly stressful situations
• make conscious decisions, rather than being on 'auto-pilot', and
• understand the difference between giving up and letting go

I have extensive knowledge and experience in facilitating personal change. I use a dynamic and innovative approach to bring out the best in individuals and groups. What makes the one day course 'train your mind to be focused, calm and clear' and the follow up program 'master your mind' so successful is that the focus is less about what we do and more about the attitude we bring to how we do.
