Board of Directors

Karen Tweedie, PCC
2008 President-Elect

Karen has 16 years of successful experience in coaching, training, facilitating and consulting. She has worked in both the private and public sector.

Karen is a facilitation and coaching professional: she is a leader, a leadership and team coach and a trainer of coaches. She is Director of Coaching for Coachbroker Pty Ltd, a company that matches quality coaches with the corporate world. Karen is a Past President of the International Coach Federation Australasia and President Elect of ICF Global.

An engaging presenter on all aspects of coaching, interpersonal and team communication, Karen’s coaching, facilitation and training skills are based on a sound knowledge of change processes, human behaviour, communication and group dynamics. She notices where a group (or an individual) is at, in terms of commitment and involvement throughout a process. Karen is able to show empathy and manage emotions (both her own and those of the individual and/or group members). She believes that skilled coaching and facilitation contribute to the overall improvement of insight, understanding and ability to work toward a preferred future.  In addition it builds individual capacity to work constructively through conflict, which has flow-on benefits in all spheres of organisational and private life.

Karen values how her profession calls on her to continue her own learning - as a professional and as a person.
