From a member of the rat race to breaking FREE to follow my dreams; from dominatrix to photographer, to social media maven and now a business and life coach helping non-conformists and rebels stick two fingers up at the rules to create their businesses and lives their way.
I got out of the 9-5 after 16 years. It destroyed my soul and made me depressed. REALLY depressed. I knew there HAD TO BE ANOTHER WAY TO LIVE MY LIFE.
I made my escape from the rat race and I refuse to march to the tune of someone else’s drum ever again. I’ve got 9 years experience in running my own businesses, and I’ve helped 1000’s of people with their business and life success. If you are reassured by qualifications, I’m a qualified life coach and NLP practitioner.
I am pretty no-nonsense and get straight to the point, but I do so with energy and humour. We haven’t got time to waste right?!
I’m driven by a HUGE sense of adventure, of living life completely on my terms and doing work I LOVE. I break conventional rules and set my own. I set pretty ambitious personal & professional goals and I LOVE working with people who want to EMBRACE their ambition and set bigger and bolder goals for their lives and business.
People say my high energy is contagious (and some people can feel a bit overwhelmed!). I’m determined to help you lead a bigger and more daring life and build a business around your skills, talents and passions.
This blog is a compliment to karenstrunks.com and is for all my overflowing thoughts, challenges and adventures and everything in between! :)
