Karen Freedman, Founder Start Anew

"I had the opportunity to work with Karen Freedman as a Career Coach and later to participate in a personal Introduction to her Leadership and Performance Program. I would like to say how much I learnt about myself and my management and leadership style during these sessions. I especially enjoyed our sessions on Motivational Mapping and would highly recommend this to anyone who works as a manager of people. The insight gained was invaluable and will assist me in getting the most out of any team."
Linda Treble SalesHR Manager, Catholic Education
"I have engaged Karen Freedman on numerous occasions to provide Senior Executive coaching to Senior Executive groups, diversity and inclusion training to Consulting teams and Team coaching to ICT teams within both private and public sectors…..At all times she has been highly successful in delivering results and assisting to achieve lasting change…..Her manner is thoughtful and insightful, she is a good listener and has the ability to assess the situation/environment, distil information and coach individuals to identify and implement an appropriate strategy to suit their needs. "
Denise Cardew-HallFormer Chief Operating Officer/ Chief Finance Officer, National Film and Sound Archives of Australia
"Karen provided invaluable assistance to our organisation in strengthening our senior leadership’s interaction with our people. She is an extremely effective coach who is able to connect with people and address difficult and sensitive issues. I have valued her counsel which has assisted both myself and our senior leadership in advancing our organisation’s growth aspirations. Karen has established herself as a valued and trusted advisor to the company."
Andrew BalmaksCEO Noetic/Attura
"Karen is a very talented individual. She is non-judgemental and a great listener with the ability to distill the essentials of any given issue being discussed in an effortless, thoughtful and organic coaching process. The personal connection established was excellent, providing an opportunity to comfortably explore a broad range of topics covering every aspect of life. Most importantly, she helped me identify key drivers for motivation in the workplace and strategies for boosting motivation at work and in life and what was holding me back. There were many ‘aha’ moments throughout. I would strongly recommend Karen to others."
Jonathan TemplingSenior Audit Specialist, United Nations Development Program, Istanbul
"I had the privilege of working with Karen on two recent programs, a corporate program designed to influence and shape culture and behaviour, and a professional coaching program. Karen’s preparation, engagement and commitment to the programs, the development of tangible, measurable benefits, and her deeply shared association with the outcomes, determined that both the corporate and individual coaching programs were very successful. On a personal level, it was a pleasure working with Karen, she is personable and very approachable, brings robust methodologies and frameworks, and in my experience, she takes a strong personal commitment to realising shared goals and objectives with her clients."
