KAREN LEE DOWNES

Karen works with business leaders who are committed to business being a force for good, building purposeful brands and creating more human-centric business environments, where people flourish and business prospers.

Over the breadth of her 35-year career Karen has built successful companies, supported social impact initiatives to transform entrenched cultural norms and worked with business leaders to achieve breakthrough results. Karen has led personal and leadership development programmes in China, Indonesia, UK, USA, South Africa, Singapore, Chile and Germany. During this time, Karen has found ways to bridge the divide between spirituality and commercial reality to create more conscious and compassionate leaders and more human-centric organisations. Karen has learned what it takes to transform difficult and complex issues, how to build resilience in teams enabling them to face adversity and setbacks and how to infuse business with purpose, engage people in meaningful work to ensure they bring the best of themselves to any endeavour.
