KAREN TWEEDIE
MASTER CERTIFIED Coach (ICF)
Overview
Karen Tweedie is a leadership coach who assists highly intelligent technical leaders to bring an increased insight and people focus to leading through change. She coaches CEOs, MDs, Senior Executives, and those aspiring to senior roles across the Health, Retail, Mining, Telecommunications, IT, Banking & Finance, Manufacturing, Consulting, and Not-for-Profit sectors.
Karen knows that leaders face challenges over and above any “business” challenges of their role. At certain times they need to re-establish existing relationships and re-set team culture whilst ensuring the on-going development of the team and continued levels of service delivery. The leader must clearly articulate a purpose vision, live their values, and support collaboration at every opportunity as the team moves to new ways of operating.
Karen's unique approach to coaching leaders is informed by seeing the leader within the intersecting organisational systems that comprise their organisation and the organising principles with which it is underpinned. Supported by these principles the leader can use their ‘map’ to access the support that the system offers. This approach quickly helps to reveal hidden dynamics, bring to light new perspectives, test approaches and/or re-focus efforts to reinvigorate the leader and what they seek to achieve.
Karen is a pioneer of the International Coach Federation (ICF) in Australia. As Global Board Chair of the ICF in 2009, Karen faced the challenges of building strong relationships within her diverse leadership team, developing strategic relationships with other key players, and ensuring the right level of inclusion within the organization whilst delivering on the organization’s strategic objectives.
