"Karen delivered one of the most engaging keynote lectures on change management I have ever seen. She involved the audience extensively. Her messages, like her visuals, were clear and the feedback from the audience afterwards was overwhelmingly positive. I cannot recommend Karen highly enough if you have a need for a keynote speaker to talk about change and attitudes to change."

"Karen is an icon for Influence and People Skills. Karen was invited to speak at many high-profile business seminars for her professional knowledge and insights – she spoke on Influence 247 at SCCCI's annual SME Conference event in 2015, and the audience was most impressed. As a true blue expert in Influence, Karen is definitely the best person to engage as a keynote speaker. I highly recommend her. "
