Q: How did you get into the world of business psychology and adult social care, and what keeps you motivated?
Karen shares a 20-year journey into social care, finding deep purpose in the camaraderie and meaningful outcomes, and explains how her PhD work on dual diagnosis aligns with daily leadership and service improvement.
21: From Psychology to Practice: Turning Care Insights into Leadership Impact
Q: What's the leadership challenge you're seeing come up most often right now?
Karen describes wellbeing as a rising focus, emphasizing time invested in people, upskilling, and balancing leadership duties with personal responsibilities.
19: Taming Your Inner Child For Leadership Success
Q: How can leaders use belief updates to become happier, healthier, and more engaged?
By updating their belief systems, leaders move from reactive responses to calm, logical processing, enabling them to handle anger in others with curiosity and plan constructive next steps.
19: Taming Your Inner Child For Leadership Success
Q: What is the leadership challenge you're seeing most often right now?
The big challenge is self-leadership—without leading ourselves well, we can't effectively lead others, and many people struggle with consistency and self-discipline in daily actions.
11: Overcoming Confidence Compensation And Be The Leader You Were Born To Be
Q: But why don't you start by telling us in your own words, what does confidence compensation mean to you in the line of work that you're in?
Confidence compensation happens when leaders doubt themselves, then try to overprove and seek external validation to fill that gap, which actually drains energy and reduces effective leadership.
