Karen is the co-founder & COO of Monkey Puzzle Training and co-author of Rest. Practise. Perform.
I’ve always been passionate about learning and during my MBA I discovered the importance of psychology in leadership and began to apply the principles in the various leadership roles I held. This led to me leaving fund management and beginning Monkey Puzzle in 2007.
Driven to develop as much understanding on the topic as possible, I have an MSc in Psychology and a Masters in Health Research. I am also an organisational psychologist and qualified in clinical psychotherapy and supervision. We have achieved the best results for organisations we work with by blending together varied industry experience with deep expertise in psychology and mental health.
I have a particular interest how the pressure and responsibility of leadership roles impact the mental and emotional health of leaders, and work with organisations to develop interventions and programmes to enable leaders to develop and grow sustainably.
I have a specific interest in burnout and continue to conduct research in how it affects leaders.
