Networking lands Karen in prison.
The State of Colorado hired Karen to design a performance appraisal training program. She crisscrossed the state giving more than 140 workshops in five months in prisons, arsenals and colleges. She discovered what makes a presentation flop and how to overcome tough audiences and situations. These gigs taught Karen the secret of speaking success: Connect with your audience.

Marriott Hotels, American Society for Association Executives, NBC Entertainment and American Public Works Association are just a few organizations that keep Karen's phone ringing.
Karen's gone through every stage from baby formula to Grecian Formula.
Karen's knowledge doesn't come just from books. Her humor, warmth and real time tools have been augmented by her life experiences. She's gone through every stage from baby formula to Grecian formula. When paralyzing Guillain-Barre Syndrome kept Karen hospitalized for months, she tested her humor, life balance, stress management and schmoozing skills to help herself and other patients. Nurses would prop Karen up in a wheelchair and push her into patients' rooms to get them to laugh, relax, communicate and heal. Hey!This stuff works!
One thing Karen had to learn was to speak again. Rather important for a public speaker. But, her real love is dancing. Karen was just born to boogie. So after the first time she went dancing, she returned to rehab to motivate patients and staff and to show them her best moves. Janet Jackson watch out.
Karen's experience enables her to provide solid, research-based content, energy and interaction in her keynotes, workshops, or spouse/partner presentations. She offers practical solutions in an atmosphere of fun. Karen creates perfect conditions for motivation, commitment and change to occur. And, she's there for your audience, before, during and after her presentation.
She's a member of the National Speakers Association, Colorado Speakers Association, Denver Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau, Colorado Women's Chamber of Commerce and Colorado's premier organization of published authors, Colorado Authors' League. Karen has two married children. She loves to travel, hang out in the mountains, walk, and read. When she dies, she wants her ashes sprinkled in the Tattered Cover Book Store.
