Hi, I’m Karen, founder of Next Chapter Collective — a space for professional women ready to pause, reflect, and consciously design what’s next.
At Next Chapter Collective, I help professional women 40+ to:
✔️ Reassess and realign their careers or life direction.
✔️ Gain clarity on what they truly want — professionally and personally.
✔️ Build emotional resilience to navigate transitions like career changes, relationship shifts, loss, or reinvention.
✔️ Cultivate a renewed sense of purpose, fulfillment, and confidence for the years ahead.
✔️ Take actionable, strategic steps toward creating a life that feels deeply authentic and aligned.
Whether you're navigating career decisions, moving through major life changes, or simply seeking greater purpose and balance, I’m here to be your strategic coach, reflective partner, and unwavering supporter. Together, we'll turn challenges into catalysts and transitions into opportunities — creating a future that feels deeply aligned with who you are and who you are becoming.
Because no matter where you are today,
✨ Your next chapter isn’t just waiting — it’s ready for you to write it boldly and beautifully.✨
With over 30 years of experience in marketing — and currently serving as Vice President of Marketing Operations for a global technology consultancy — I understand the drive, ambition, and evolution that shape a woman’s professional journey. For the past 17 years, I’ve also had the privilege of managing and leading talented international and diverse teams, supporting people as they navigated their own growth, career advancement, and leadership potential. Coaching became one of the most rewarding aspects of my work — helping individuals unlock new levels of clarity, confidence, and professional success.
Alongside a fulfilling corporate career, I have also embarked on a profound season of personal transformation in my 50s — navigating divorce, becoming an empty nester, property sales and purchase, planning for my financial future, experiencing the loss of a parent, and ultimately rediscovering who I was beyond the roles I had lived for so long. It’s been a journey of resilience, self-inquiry, growth, and conscious reinvention — and it’s a journey that continues to evolve.
My personal growth transformation has recently led me to broaden my skills: completing a Yoga Teacher Training (YTT 200) qualification, becoming a Certified Professional Life Coach, and currently undertaking a Master of Counselling.
Through this path, I’ve gained powerful insights into the emotional, professional, and personal transformations women often face as they step into new chapters of life.
