Karen Miles delivers entertaining and inspiring keynote presentations, workshops, and mentoring. She also works as a media and on-stage interviewer, MC/host, and assists companies with the design and roll out of in-house training programs.

COMPANIES - Motherhood Career / Identity, Working Parents
When it comes to the topic of motherhood, female talent and working parents, Karen helps women to be productive and engaged in their work and life, and managers and their teams to best capitalise on this powerful source of talent. By assisting women with the head and heart transition into motherhood and back in to the workplace, and by implementing flexible work practices for working parents, Karen Miles helps companies to attract, retain and engage their greatest source of talent.

Karen has authored the 'Working Parent's Toolkit' - the HR business solution for supporting expectant parents, employees on parental leave, and working parents. This Toolkit provides all the information and resources needed to successfully manage the employee through to working parent transition. You can brand the Toolkit as your own and your existing flexibility content can be integrated to suit your organisation's needs.

INDIVIDUALS - Motherhood Career / Identity, Working Parents
Karen's mentoring, workshops and second book 'The Real Baby Book you need at 3am' help women to work through the challenges and changes related to motherhood. Women today are accustomed to a life of independence, choices, and achievement, and motherhood may come as a great shock. Motherhood is also a transition made unnecessarily difficult as we rarely talk about what motherhood is really like and we live in a culture of performance parenting.

She worked with us to tailor the session ensuring the content would resonate with our parents - how to be happy and high performing in both their personal lives and career after having children. Karen combines a humorous and fun presentation style with a factual and practical session. The session was well received and we would not hesitate to invite Karen to present again.”
