Career Design Code: How to Build Your Career and Your Brand, as Taught by a Google Coach

Hello and Welcome!

Hi, I’m Karen — originally from Liverpool, England, now coaching clients around the world. I’m a Chartered Public Relations and Communications professional, a certified coach, and a trusted advisor to global leaders navigating growth, transition, and meaningful change. I’ve spent the past 11 years working in tech, alongside other industries, helping people communicate with impact and lead with confidence. I'm a lifelong learner who believes the best investment you can make is in yourself, to improve in some way. I've spent a good amount of time in the tech hubs of Silicon Valley, Austin and London.

For the past six years I've coached dozens of South Koreans from companies like Google, LEGO, AutoCAD, NAVER, TOSS, Samsung, Hanwha, Umicore and Gowoonsesang Cosmetics Co., Ltd , L'Oréal Groupe supporting them to:

• Communicate with clarity and authority

• Lead with emotional intelligence and purpose

• Navigate complex decisions and career pivots

• Build personal brands that open doors

• Overcome imposter syndrome and burnout

• Step into bigger roles or new directions with confidence

My specialisms include leadership, communication, career development, personal positioning, and mindset work. I bring together strategy and soul, combining structured frameworks with deep listening, real-world experience, and a touch of intuition.

My experience coaching dozens of South Korean executives has given me unique insight into the cultural nuances and challenges they face — from navigating the complexities of working within global corporations to increasing visibility and influence, all while staying true to their values and identity.

I’ve led multicultural teams, advised global organisations, and built a location-independent career from wherever I happen to be, whether at home or on the move. I speak Spanish, French, and some Russian, and I understand the cultural nuances of standing out in today’s global workplace.

The Career Clarity Code distils the exact process I use with my private clients — helping you reconnect with your strengths, define your direction, and take practical steps towards a career that feels aligned and fulfilling.

When you enrol, you’ll unlock a special discount on 1:1 coaching with me, giving you the chance to personalise your journey and get tailored support for your next step.

If you’re ready to shift gears, show up as your best self, and take action on the career you truly want, I’d love to support you.

Let’s get started.
Karen
