Public Speaking
Talks and facilitation that change how leaders think.
I help leaders improve their public speaking skills and prepare for important meetings, presentations, speeches, and media interviews.
I also speak at leadership events, corporate off-sites, accelerator programmes, and professional conferences on the intersection of leadership intelligence, strategic communication, and organisational performance.
My talks draw on thirty years of business experience, a leadership book in development, and work with senior leaders across some of the world’s most complex organisations. They are not motivational. They are substantive, specific, and designed to leave room for thinking differently.
TALK TOPICS INCLUDE
— Signal Alert — why organisations and leaders suppress their intelligence, and what it costs them
— The communication habits that undermine leaders
— How to lead across borders, cultures and generations
— From founder to global leader — the leadership transition nobody prepares you for
— Strategic PR for startups and scale-ups entering international markets
— How to build a personal brand that matches your actual authority
FORMATS
Keynote — Panel contribution — Workshop facilitation — Masterclass — Roundtable facilitation
Available in English, French, and Spanish.
Client Spotlight
Photos show Philip Lee, former CEO of Gowoonsesang Cosmetics, who worked with me on his public speaking and general coaching, presenting at a L'Oréal conference.
"I have had the privilege of working with Karen for several years, starting from when I was collaborating with the Mibelle Group in Switzerland. Since then, she has been an essential partner in my professional journey, including through the critical period when my company was being acquired by L’Oréal.
Karen is far more than a business coach. As an executive, I have faced countless high-stakes decisions, and Karen has been instrumental in helping me navigate them with clarity and confidence. Beyond the professional strategy, she has provided incredible support in managing the psychological pressures that naturally accompany leadership. Her ability to listen, identify the core of a problem, and offer grounded, actionable guidance is truly rare.
If you are a leader looking for someone who brings deep trust, unwavering clarity, and a human-centered approach to complex business challenges, I cannot recommend Karen highly enough. She has been a vital part of my success, and I am confident she will be an incredible asset to any executive she works with.”
