Karen was very professional, adaptable and helpful in the build-up to the event. She was very good on the day, a great leader with excellent activities that really added to the day.
Unquestionably, Karen is a master of her subject. She mixed fun with actionable information in a way that gained her total credibility with the audience. Karen avoided the typical motivational speaker pitfall of preaching; rather she discussed the subject in a way that the participants could identify with the issues.
Karen delivered so much enthusiasm. She's helped our people get ideas they can take away and replicate. Great workshop that made the conference for us.
Extremely vivacious, energising, passionate and knowledgeable on her subject matter of Generation X and Gen Y.
