In our online mid year review Karen spoke to our team, sharing some sage advice on how
to adapt to changing situations which had a galvanising impact on us in this ‘virtual’ world. It made up stop and think differently about our challenges and how to overcome them, backed up by practical tools we could use immediately to start to reframe our thinking and move forward positively. Thank you Karen.

Karen’s achievements are inspiring, awe-inspiring in fact, but just as impressive is her gift
for connecting with people of all ages. It is this connection that means that after some time
spent with Karen, you feel not only that you’ve been on a journey with her, but that you can
relate her experience to your own life and apply that to reaching your own potential. It’s a
compelling combo and we are honoured to have worked with Karen to share her story, her
positivity and her wisdom with young people across Scotland as part of our Lockdown Live
project.
