Welcome to your new life & leadership adventure

• Welcome to your new life & leadership adventure •

Meet Karen Heras-Kelly

I work with women who are in a major transitional stage in their life and leadership journey.

Women who are successful on paper, yet quietly approaching a breaking point.

I help them to shift from breaking point to breakthrough, empowering them with proven tools that support them to be unapologetic leaders in all areas of their lives.

I support them to move from overwhelm to clarity, from depletion to power, from wornout to wise. Using proven, practical tools, I help women become unapologetic leaders in every area of their lives.

Women are programmed to keep going under extreme pressure while still performing. Women, in particular, are very good at pushing through the signs until one final thing tips everything over.    When that happens, there is a sense of loss - a loss of identity, confidence and worth.

This is also when organisations risk losing some of their most capable leaders.

Today, I work with C Suite leaders, boards, and organisations dealing with a range of complex challenges. At the same time, I help organisations look honestly at the conditions that push people too far.

Grazia named me as a top holistic professional, giving me the nickname, “The Visualiser.” And said my work helped create calm & focus.

A new offer for August: The Inner Temple

The Inner Temple is for women who know they need to return back to their core. Who want to follow their heart’s desires and take their power back.

It’s for women who want to feel calm, focused, and step into their full magnetic potential.
It’s for women who feel stuck and sense, yes, I need to drive my own life bus again.
It’s for women who know they have fallen into apathy, frustration, fear etc - and want more from life.

If you’re ready to join the passion wagon, message me and I’ll give you more info.

• £300 for 2 sessions

• £600 for 5 sessions (This would usually cost £1,500.)

This is a limited-time rate for a limited number of women, so if you feel called, reach out and I’ll walk you through how it works. (You can claim the sessions at any point over the coming year.)

Perfect for you if you’re feeling stuck, at a crossroads, quietly craving something more and waking up to the realisation that you hold the key to your own future.

How we support

We work with individuals and organisations that care deeply about leadership capacity and want performance that is high impact and lasts.

We support C-suite executives, boards and leadership teams navigating:

Periods of transition or uncertainty
Decision fatigue and diminished clarity
Sustained stress and overload

We also support Rising Stars, as they face their “career firsts’ and make the transition from manage to leader.

This is your time

Together, we slow things down - so you can think clearly, make better decisions, and lead with renewed focus.

And we look systemically at what’s really driving pressure, helping leaders and organisations create conditions where high performance doesn’t come at the cost of health.

Why women’s health matters

Women’s health isn’t a niche issue - it’s a leadership and retention imperative:

Ignoring life-stage transitions like perimenopause and menopause means losing experienced women just as they reach their full potential. My work brings this into open, strategic conversation - linking well-being directly to performance and retention.

We work with women before, during, and after that breaking point moment - helping them stabilise, regain clarity, and lead without losing themselves in the process.

Listen to the Say it Sister podcast

Each week, we share unfiltered conversations about the key issues impacting women today. We talk taboos, myths, biases and negative narratives. Alongside our dreams and tales of finding love, respect and peace in midlife. We talk about how we took our power back and reclaimed our voices.

The Courage to Feel

This isn’t my usual post-holiday post. After a week by the sea, my mum’s words: “I thought I’d never see the sea again, let alone swim in it,” landed deep, bringing up grief, ageing, and the quiet confrontation with mortality that comes with midlife.

I’m finding myself held by opposites: love and fear, love and grief, joy and uncertainty, while caring for a young child, a puppy and elderly parents. I’m learning that grief can begin long before loss, and that wisdom is forged not by avoiding pain but by moving through it with honesty and love. In this post, I share what I’m discovering about aging, reality, and the courage it takes to stay heart-led. I also introduce a new, limited August offer, The Inner Temple, for women who are ready to return to their core, reclaim their life bus, and step into their full magnetic potential.

Client feedback:

“Working with Karen has been one of the most meaningful growth experiences of my life. From the start, our sessions went far beyond traditional goal-setting - they helped me develop true resilience, clarity, and the ability to move forward even in times of uncertainty. What stood out most was the way she brings the feminine into leadership and everyday life - not as a concept, but as a living energy that fuels creativity, empathy, and presence."

Amalia Chondromatidou, SVP Global Brands and Brand Building Head
“Karen has been a tremendous listener and guide during these many months. Her ability to listen combined with her astute senses gives her a view to people’s soul, and she uses these powers responsibly.”

PATRICIA CORSI - Current role: Chief Growth Officer / FORBES most influential.
Karen & Patricia worked together in 2017 when Patricia was the Marketing Director for Heineken Mexico.
“Karen is a master at taking you deep inside yourself in an instant and balancing that with light-heartedness to create an amazing journey of discovery.”

RACHEL ROBERTS - Events Director
“My work with Karen is the most powerful and transformative I’ve ever done. It’s hard to describe, as it’s subtle but really strong. I look back on the last six months and can’t believe how much my life has changed and progressed. I’m stronger, happier and have more joy and less of the bad stuff that used to tell me I was rubbish. My work, relationships and the way I feel about myself has all changed, in a brilliant way.”

SARAH POWELL - Broadcast presenter and performer
“Working with Karen was like being guided into a new space, filled with uncertainty but feeling completely safe and protected. I felt seen, heard and nurtured so I could calm my mind and explore possibilities and let go of old issues, pain and belief systems. I was able to focus on the inner voice of knowing and intuition.”

LUCY BARKAS - Coach & Leadership Facilitator
“I have worked with Karen over several years and through different roles and career transitions, and she has always been a constant source of insight, challenge and support. Karen has an extraordinary ability to combine practical leadership development with deep inner work. Her wide range of coaching tools and methods helped me strengthen my balance and confidence, stay grounded under challenging circumstances, and effectively lead from a place that feels more empowered and authentic. Every session left me with practical takeaways, beyond a deeper sense of self-awareness."

Leticia Boccomino
Global Portfolio Intelligence & Foresight Director
"Today I lead with greater clarity, calm and trust in my own voice. The way I make decisions, navigate complexity and show up for others has fundamentally changed. Karen’s coaching has shaped not only the leader I’ve become, but also the person I continue to grow into. I am deeply grateful for our journey together and wholeheartedly recommend working with her.”
