People of all backgrounds respond to Karen's emphasis on empathetic love, integrity, authenticity and joyful living. Her current topics can be adapted to fit any event and include:
Based on her best-selling book. Karen speaks to the hearts of men and women everywhere when she reveals that we are not unhappy because we are overweight, we are overweight because we are unhappy. Karen has found that lasting weight loss needs to be more than reaching a perfect number; it’s about the small changes in the way we think, move, and eat that not only result in weight loss, but a happier, healthier life. Karen lost 40 lbs using her simple methods, overcoming depression and anxiety in the process. “Stress Less” Karen empowers listeners to use the three most important keys to living a life free from stress and anxiety. This life-changing message instills a sense of purpose in your life, give you permission to stop looking for approval from people, and start living the life of joy and enthusiasm for which we were designed. 25 Hours With Matthew In this personal message of grief recovery, Karen shares her experience of choosing to carry a child to term, despite the dire predictions of her medical team. The miracle of her son Matthew's short life is a tribute to the struggle we each face to keep faith in the midst of grief, have courage in spite of fear, and to live in joy regardless of disappointed hopes. This message is a comfort for those who are in the continuing process of grief recovery, and the people that love them. Karen is a member of The Compassionate Friends, an organization devoted to supporting families after a child dies. “Happy Customers Buy Your Products: 22 Ways Integrity Pays” Customer service seems to have become a lost art, but Karen explains why caring for your customers can dramatically build your business or raise your value in any job market. Personal stories from successful business owners and entrepreneurs punctuate this energizing talk that shows you nice guys and gals build more than customers, they build relationships that outlast the economy.
When I decided to take my speaking to the next level, I knew I needed someone I could trust to show me the ropes, step-by-step. I chose James Malinchak, who is endorsed by some of the biggest names in personal development, including Jack Canfield and Brian Tracey. James will teach you to create your own multi-million dollar speaking business from a standing start in an incredibly short space of time. I highly recommend James Malinchak's Millionaire Speaker's Secrets and College Speaking Success!
