Speaking & Workshops
Clarity does not come from doing more.
It emerges from inner coherence.
Reflections on Sustaining a Career Over Time — A Talk
Drawing on lived experience of burnout and reorientation, this talk explores how a meaningful career can be sustained without losing connection to oneself.
It invites reflection on inner balance, personal limits, and ways of remaining engaged in our work over time.
A Reflective Workshop
This half-day workshop offers a guided reflective space for small groups of up to 10 participants. Through reflection and conversation, participants are invited to explore their core values and non-negotiables, reconnect with their inner compass, and cultivate greater inner coherence.
“Karin gave a deeply personal and powerful insight into her experience with severe stress and recovery. Her talk clearly resonated with the participants, who left with practical ideas for creating a healthier balance between work and private life.
For me, two points stood out in particular: the brain’s need for recovery, just like an athlete requires rest after performance, and the importance of defining one’s ‘non-negotiables’ and core values as a personal compass.
I truly hope many more will have the opportunity to experience Karin’s talk and workshop – it comes highly recommended!”
