About Karen Skidmore

Small business growth mentor, author & menopause champion. After initial career with Hays Plc as a director in their recruitment division, Karen started her first coaching business in 2004 and has continued to run her own consulting and coaching businesses since.

Karen's operations background and strategic thinking blends with her deep connection to using intuition, a rare combination of skills in the world of business. In 2005 she launched her Women's Enterprise Programme, working in partnership with University of Surrey and funded by the European Social Fund. Ran a digital marketing membership forum from 2008 to 2012. She currently mentors small business owners through her Grow Strong® small business growth system.

I specialise in helping consultants, coaches and wellbeing professionals scale their business, and put the right systems, processes and small high performing team in place to achieve their growth goals. As a small business owner myself, I understand the stresses and time pressures involved to make the time to plan and review, whilst delivering client work.
