“Without change, there would be no butterflies…” - Maya Angelou
My mission is to empower every individual, team, or organisation to transform into their best possible version.
My passion is the people element - whether coaching individual leaders and managers, helping teams communicate and work better together, or helping organisations improve their culture to impact performance - people are at the heart of everything I do.
As the pace of change in the world around us increases, it is easy to feel overwhelmed, stuck, and disconnected. As individuals go into fight/flight/freeze/fawn responses, they impact their own wellbeing, the people around them, and the organisations they lead.
I bring nearly 30 years of experience, frameworks, methodologies, and tools to amplify my clients’ best qualities and help them reach and exceed their goals.

Karin, a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, has a background in business analysis, project management, and psychology, and has worked across industries like IT, construction, education, and transport.
Her professional highlights include speaking at international conferences, creating a business analysis course, and leading significant projects like the Christchurch infrastructure rebuild after the earthquakes. Butterfly Business Consulting aims to make a difference through tailored strategies and effective collaboration.
"Karin was engaged by SCIRT, a temporary organisation tasked with rebuilding the horizontal infrastructure in Christchurch after the earthquakes, to help develop our end to end business processes. We had a very short time frame to do this and there was very little certainty in terms of what we were doing or how we were to do it. Karin helped us steer through the ambiguity to develop what has become a very efficient and effective organisation. Karin's enthusiasm and energy is abundant and her ability is apparent to everyone she meets. She can quickly build confidence in a team and her ability to pull information and build consensus is of benefit to anyone. We have high confidence in Karin and would recommend her highly."
“I worked with Karin on a major project in the education sector. The project required representatives from several New Zealand Polytechnics and Institutes of Technology to work together to produce common processes that would support the introduction of a new Student Management System. Karin’s role involved facilitating workshops that required both extensive business analysis expertise and a high level of emotional intelligence to achieve consensus from potentially disparate points of view. Karin was tireless in her commitment to the project that involved weekly travel to Wellington over a period of 3 months. She produced summary findings from the daily workshops ready for review the next day and contributed to meaningful discussions that kept the project on track. Karin’s participation was critical to the success of the project and I recommend her to any organisation looking for thoroughly professional business analysis services or mentoring and training support for your own business analysts.”
"Karin was an extremely effective program manager who quickly and completely established rapport and credibility with clients, conducted herself professionally, and produced results that surpassed expectations. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Karin again and would think of her immediately should the possibility present itself."
