Empowering Women to Lead…

Drawing on years of experience in leadership, coaching and personal development, Karen and Lucy help women navigate the challenges of modern working life, challenge limiting expectations and create careers and lives that feel aligned with who they are. Their work explores confidence, self-worth, boundaries, leadership and our understanding of ourselves and those around us.

At Post Super, we believe that understanding ourselves is just as important as developing our technical skills. In the high-pressure world of post-production, particularly for women navigating midlife, having the confidence and support to understand these changes can make a real difference to how we lead, work and support one another. 

When Jess met Karen and Lucy, she knew their work was special and Post Super members would be as intrigued as she was!

Meet Karen and Lucy…

Karen and Lucy first met in 2012 while training as coaches. Although life took them in different directions, they stayed connected and reconnected years later as mothers, friends and women navigating the realities of modern life. Those conversations became the starting point for Say It Sister and eventually Wise Women Lead.
