Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events
Feedback from In-Person Events:
"Ogilvy worked with Karen to deliver a Menopause webinar for Menopause awareness day. Karen provided insightful, useful and actionable advice on diet and nutrition as part of our panel of experts, she was adaptable and able to answer questions about very specific symptoms live on the webinar. She used language that was understandable and without judgement, she is realistic about how much and how quickly people can change their diet. Karen also went above and beyond by following up with all the answers to all the questions and more post-event in order to be able to send to all attendees for future use. Ogilvy hopes to work with Karen again soon." - Amy, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager, Ogilvy
"I really enjoy working with Karen and can highly recommend her. Karen's vast knowledge and experience enable her to deliver sessions that are not only really informative but also achieve maximum learning outcomes. Her ability to make individuals feel that everything is within their reach and achievable is a real skill. Relating information back to worked examples and in our case, easy and effective healthy eating ideas, enables individuals to leave their sessions knowing what they can do immediately to start making positive lifestyle changes. Karen is both very personable and professional with a very relaxed and effective presenting style." - Ella, Occupational Health & Wellbeing Consultant
"We invited Karen along to HomeServe for International Women's Day earlier this year to talk to our People about menopause. We're very much at the start of our menopause awareness journey and it was great to have Karen come along and talk more about how nutrition affects our hormones at all stages of the menopause. She delivered two 1 hour long webinars during the week and we had over 50 people attend each which was amazing. We'd definitely like to work with Karen again and will hopefully be inviting her back later this year. Karen is very knowledgeable, patient, friendly and was more than happy to help accommodate our requirements. Thank you Karen." - Sally, Occupational Health & Wellbeing Officer, Homeserve
"Karen has been coming to our office in London to speak with our staff about healthier snack options, cooking on a budget and eating the right foods to help increase our energy levels. The sessions have been fantastic and our staff have really engaged with them. We are looking forward to Karen returning again with more useful nutritional info!" - Stephanie, HR, Portland PR
"Karen is incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. She came to our office to speak with employees about healthier snacking alternatives and their benefits. Everyone that attended the session felt inspired and requested that we bring Karen back as a regular part of our wellness initiative. Overall, Karen is an absolute pleasure to work with." - Ew, Teads.TV
"Karen visited us for a learning lunch session at Brilliant Noise HQ as part of our corporate wellbeing programme. It was excellent! Informative, inspiring, interactive, and most importantly – in human terms. Karen has a great way of explaining complex behaviours and sciences in an accessible way which meant we all took away heaps of information. We were also provided with a handy cheat sheet and food ideas after the session. As a result of just one hour with Karen, we’ve already made huge changes to how we look at wellness in the office, with many people reporting improvement in their day-to-day energy and wellbeing." - Lizzie, People and Culture Manager, Brilliant Noise
