YOUR KEYNOTE ADDRESS, CONFERENCE SPEAKER OR WORKSHOP
Hello! To get the most of out of a motivational speaker or presenter, it’s crucial you have a hand in crafting the topic and session. I will work with you to tailor a presentation to suit your audience, timeframe, location and more.
Ideally we would have an initial phone conversation and then get together to more fully shape the session you’re looking for. This is something I’m known for doing well and I pride myself on it.
I would love to know more about what you’d like your audience to walk away with and how you want them to feel. Plus, of course, what kind of topic you’d like me to speak on.
I’ve spoken on a range of topics over the years, and here are some examples:
> Turning stress into success
> Stop the stress: Why stress won’t make you a high performer and what do to instead
> Resilience strategies; How to achieve wellness and performance at work
> Workplace wellness: How to move from a high-stress culture to a high-performance culture
> Mindfulness at Work
> Thinking like a business owner: working on the business, not in it
And there are more – we can be sure to tailor something to fit your event and audience.
Feel to free to touch base for an initial chat – on +6421403408 or email here.
Karen has a great style, and great personality which really comes through in her speaking. She exudes confidence and competence.
I really feel Karen is authentic and lives what she teaches. She’s calm and healthy and it comes through in everything she does.

Mike Ashby, The Breakthrough
“While there are a number of providers on the topic of Wellness, we have enjoyed the way you combine information and tips with key information on the way things affect our bodies’ processes chemically, physically and mentally.
I would like to take this opportunity to provide you with some positive feedback on the series of Wellness and Peak Performance seminars you have been running over the past three months.
In working with you from the first steps of putting together our programme, to shaping content and further distinct sessions, I’ve appreciated the sounding board you provide about the development solutions we are looking for. I’m sure there is a huge amount of information you’d like to provide us with that we haven’t tapped into yet, however you always are able to adapt your material into brief, informative sessions that hit the mark.
Topics covered: Taking stock and setting goals for wellness, Managing Your State of Mind, Taking Control of Your Day, Wellness Basics, Reframing Challenges, Myth-busting Stress, Switching Off from Work and Managing Self and Others.
While there are a number of providers of information about the topic of Wellness, we have enjoyed the way you combine information and tips with key information on the way things affect our bodies’ processes chemically, physically and mentally. Having this information really helps people to understand compelling reasons for making positive wellness changes to attain peak performance. And the way you challenge us to bust our thinking around stress and make us the most important part of our day!
As a result, I and others walk away from the sessions feeling much more relaxed and centered – in particular after the six-minute meditation session (which people commented they’d like to continue for the whole hour)!

Recent topics Karen has spoken on
Workplace wellness: helping people thrive, not strive
Karen Ross helps us explore how to move from a high-stress culture to a high-performance culture. She says it’s about bringing the humane back into our human resources by helping people be their ‘whole self’ at work. Karen comes at the topic of wellness well beyond simply looking at people’s behaviours and habits, and also from the point of view of our beliefs and perceptions about stress, wellness and how we can help people perform well.
Mindfulness at Work: a route to peak performance
Mindfulness has become a modern phenomenon – primarily in response to the busy, often frenetic lives many of us lead. While its roots are in ancient Buddhist teachings, the essence of mindfulness as it is taught today is simple, accessible and enormously practical. It is a useful approach for enhancing our quality of life – measured not in how much we have, but in how we experience it.
Karen comes at the topic of wellness and performance well beyond simply looking at people’s behaviours and habits, but also from the point of view of our beliefs and perceptions about stress and wellness. She shares some of the science of stress and why it is NOT a performance state, as well as powerful, practical tools to help you be both brilliant at work and happy in life.
Resilience strategies for women in business: Getting your hand back on the steering wheel
Life is busy (work can be manic!) and it’s easy to feel like it’s all just happening to us, or at least somewhere along the way we lost control of our time, our to-list or perhaps our sanity. Take heart – Karen Ross knows this feeling well and offers key strategies to take control back and feel like you are truly in the driver’s seat. She shares some of the science of stress and why it is NOT a performance state, as well as powerful, practical tools you can put in place immediately to take charge of stress, own your diary and be able to not only influence your own sanity, but also of those around you.
