Karen has a unique voice on the Lewes FC Board as she had no interest in football whatsoever before encountering Lewes FC’s equality initiative in 2017. Since then she regularly gives talks at business and sports conferences on equality in football and its effect on driving gender equality in the wider world. Karen has also created the club’s SisterShips program which is building a network of women’s organizations keen to support the club in solidarity with its equality stance, whilst the club promotes the member organizations’ work in return. Karen is a writer and trained counseling therapist, including creating and managing an internal counseling service for PolyGram Records (now Universal). Prior to this Karen has also worked as a fashion model. A co-owner of the Club since 2010, she joined the Board in 2019.

Elif Köse , As a committed woman, business leader, you should take your business to the next level. Without the right leadership skills this isn’t possible. Which is why The Leader Within You was formed. To empower all the great female leaders of tomorrow to be the best they can be today. My goal is to help women who are in business truly start making an impact with their product or service on the level they are. I want to create an even playing field for women and give them an equal voice in the world of business. Maybe you’ve already launched your venture and are looking to take it to new heights. Or maybe you have yet to start it and are looking where to begin. Whatever point you are at, I can help bring you up into the next phase of your career. I am for all the fiercely independent women who won’t take no for an answer. The women I work with refuse to settle for a life of mediocrity and have the confidence to speak up for themselves. My goal is to simply give you that boost you need to sharpen your leadership skills so you can finally begin making your mark fully and unleash your fullest potential.
