Karen Bennett
Leadership Coach and Mentor
Certifications & Expertise
Hello! I'm Karen Bennett.
I am a certified professional coach of 15 + years and member of the International Coaching Federation. I studied marketing and business at CIM (Chartered Institute of Marketing, London, UK) and possess a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
I've held marketing and business development leadership roles in large corporations in both the UK and USA and most recently with UCHealth Medical Group.
​​
I have worked directly in organizational initiatives to attract and improve nurse retention post pandemic, including developing curricula for staff training and development; a "Train the Trainer" program empowering preceptors with knowledge, learning and education to pass it on; developing improved communications between staff and leadership; working through organizational restructure with coaching leaders in change management to help with retention of good talent.
​
I'm an business entrepreneur in my own right, having owed my own small businesses; my first in my 20's was not very successful. But I learned from my mistakes, made a plan to improve those areas and was richer in knowledge for it. I learned what makes success and what doesn't. My second one was much more successful and profitable.​
