Praise for DOING intentionally
"A must read book for all female leaders."

"The insights and experiences Karen shares in DOING intentionally are invaluable, like a fog has lifted. The seven principles and simple clear illustrations have provided a route-map through overwhelm and being unable to focus on getting stuff done. Having 'one safe place' in the bespoke DOING notebook is my favourite element and has been a game changer, freeing up thinking space and creating DOING space!!"
“DOING Intentionally is directed at the menoshift, as author Karen Currier calls it, but it seems to me that the situations, feelings, and difficulties Karen describes would likely ring true for any reader suffering from something that reduces their ability to do what they’ve always done - anything that slows them down and makes them feel overwhelmed and anxious, especially if an inability to concentrate or decreased memory is involved (e.g., aging, long covid, lyme disease, or an injury that just makes everything harder). Regardless of the specific situation, Karen’s tips and techniques are sound. In addition, her personal journey will help you be kinder to yourself and find a gentler path to success.”
“I haven’t yet experienced ‘menoshift’ symptoms but I was lucky enough to get my hands on an advance copy of DOING intentionally and it's packed full of useful tips and tools. We all put our own systems in place to manage our businesses, but when those stop working for us it can feel disorientating and affect our confidence. Reading this book has helped me review how well my own strategies are working and experiment with some new techniques. I love that it’s something I can refer back to over time and tailor to work for me. So whether you’re in the depths of the 'menoshift’ already or you’re keen to plan ahead, Karen’s book will help you put new routines into practice and build habits that reduce anxiety and overwhelm."
“Karen Currier’s book DOING intentionally is a short, approachable guide aimed at women business owners who need to take care of their business tasks while going through the menopause. It provides practical suggestions for coping and thriving even when experiencing symptoms of brain fog, anxiety and overwhelm. Indeed the 7 principles of DOING could help any business owner needing to keep on track when feeling overwhelmed."

"Until it hit me I had no idea of the impact the menopause (or, as Karen says, the menoshift!) would have on me, and my ability to run a business and lead a team. I had always prided myself on my ability to handle lots of things at the same time, to drive through multiple projects, to manage different expectations and people. Then, menoshift happened. I needed an update to my operating system! The 7 principles of DOING intentionally so I could take care of my business came at just the right time for me. Karen’s approach is gentle, compassionate and practical - quite a feat! To stay competitive it's important to have both a healthy business life and personal life. This book is full of practical tips and strategies that will help you achieve both so you can shift intentionally to your next stage in life."

“I like the word ‘menoshift’ because it honours that this is a life change, not a pause before getting back to being the same as before. If you establish these DOING habits in your menoshift, why would you ever want to go back? Women in business have to keep tabs on everything and I will be suggesting DOING Intentionally to clients who are struggling. I made my shift years ago and can still relate to brain fog, anxiety and overwhelm. It took a while to read the book in order to write my endorsement - because I kept stopping to update my own system with Karen's 7 clear and clever principles! I imagine many women will feel very grateful for finding her book. I do.”
