From Law to Leadership: Karen Ansen’s Journey to Transforming Workplace Culture

Send us a textWelcome to another episode of Discover Fresh Perspectives! Today, our host David Gouthro sits down with Karen Ansen, an Australian lawyer whose career has taken a refreshingly unconventional path. Instead of focusing solely on litigation, Karen specializes in working with leaders—helping them break free from unhelpful patterns, build stronger relationships, and embrace personal growth within the workplace. Drawing from her own fascinating journey—switching careers in her 40s, exploring industrial relations law, and pioneering a unique blend of legal counsel and coaching—Karen shares powerful insights on leadership, self-awareness, and the importance of tackling deep-seated patterns that influence our behaviour.Plus, she offers a look into the practices and mindsets, including Himalayan-inspired routines, that have transformed her confidence and professional approach. Whether you're interested in workplace dynamics, personal development, or the intersection of law and human potential, this episode is packed with wisdom—and a dash of Australian humour—you won't want to miss.Karen's Brief Bio:Karen is known for her distinctive approach to helping people break through personal and professional barriers. Unlike the typical lawyerly stereotype, Karen creates an atmosphere where clients feel comfortable opening up and exploring deeply rooted patterns in their lives. Clients often come to her seeking help with specific issues, but through her empathetic guidance, they find themselves engaged in insightful conversations about habits and recurring challenges. Karen's ability to blend personal exploration with practical intervention sets her apart, as she empowers individuals to achieve meaningful change by first understanding themselves.Karen's Website: https://ignitehr.com.au*************************************************************** You can connect with David Gouthro at: Website:https://davidgouthro.com/ (where you can also subscribe to my Blog) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidgouthro/ NOTE: If you wish to join in the podcast fun, please click here to book your own episode with me: https://calendly.com/gouthro/podcast-pals!
