About the Author

After 15 years working in large businesses, clawing her way up the greasy career ladder to being the business manager on a £12m IT project, where she worked increasingly long hours with almost unbearable levels of stress, Karen realised there must be more to life. Having had a life-changing trip to the Antarctic in 2000, Karen took the plunge and began her journey to find a different way to live and to escape from the expectations she grew up with. After working in start-ups and becoming the owner and shareholder of a successful consultancy practice, Karen is now a freelance consultant.
