Dr Karen Morley


Dr Karen Morley helps leaders get more impact with less effort. The global pandemic has increased the burdens on high-achieving leaders, and her focus is on helping leaders to reset the way they work. She helps leaders to challenge overwork, rediscover their purpose and rebalance their life to beat chronic stress and burnout.

Karen has held executive leadership roles and is also a self-declared high achiever; her approach is closely informed by these experiences.
She’s a registered psychologist and brings her fascination with emerging neuroscience and social psychology research to give leaders insight into what really works. She is deeply committed to making behavioural change easier and provides practical takeaways that leaders can readily turn into new habits.

Karen is an experienced executive coach working with leaders in organisations such as Allens, BHP, Broadspectrum, Bunnings, Commonwealth Bank, Coles, CSL, Downer, Essential Energy, Fulton Hogan, Guild Group, Hassell, Kmart, Latitude Financial Services, Lendlease, L’Oréal, Medibank, Melbourne Water, Monash Health, NAWO, Officeworks, Orica, QBE, RACV, SBS, Target, TerryWhite Chemmart, the University of Melbourne and the Victoria State Government Departments of Education and Training, Health and Human Services, Justice and Community Safety, and Jobs, Precincts and Regions.

She is an Opinion Columnist with CEOWORLD magazine and an Honorary Fellow of the University of Melbourne.
