Speaking Testimonials.

  • "If you want your audience to be inspired when they leave the room, you need to have Dr. Katie at your event! She was our recent Keynote Speaker at our 25th Anniversary Conference & Trade Show for the Federation of New York Solid Waste Associations – and the room was jam-packed. Dr. Katie offered thought-provoking content related to finding purpose at work and diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace. Attendees were chatting about her talk throughout the remainder of the conference and were excited to take back what they learned to their workplaces. Dr. Katie was an absolute pleasure to work with and our organization is grateful for her presence at the conference. "

    Luann Meyer | Conference Keynote & Workshop

  • “Katie’s experience as a strong communicator and educator provided more than the typical conference emcee. She was our ‘Conference Weaver’. Katie worked with us to identify key messages and learning opportunities that could be amplified throughout the event. Through her warm and engaging presence, she helped us provide a new experience for our audience as they navigated through three days of leadership topics. Thank you, Katie!”

    Meri Beth Wojtaszek | Conference Keynote & Emcee

  • “Our organization recently hosted an internal conference for employees and Katie was the icing on the cake as the closing keynote speaker. Katie had the tough task of getting a mentally fatigued crowd to engage, but she knew how to tap into our company culture and did not disappoint. Teammates left the room with a renewed sense of purpose, a new found love for tacos, and feeling inspired about using their voice. Everyone was absolutely buzzing over Katie's glowing personality and infectiously fun energy.”

Katie inspires the people around her to live a life full of purpose and apply this to everything they do, both personally and professionally… When this happens you can see and feel the energy in the room ignite and the audience is able to take this wisdom, new way of thinking, back to their everyday lives and organizations and make a positive impact on their teams, families and communities where they live, work and play.”

Through our partnership, I gained insights on fortifying my leadership skills, enabling me to consistently inspire my team toward our shared purpose.”

Molly Jensen, Springwood Hospitality

To say Dr. Katie is beyond AMAZING is an understatement. She is a positive light who has effectively guided me in creating my own powerful presence through structured sessions that dive in and unwind the challenges that have prevented me from accomplishing my individual and unique presence. They are appropriately broken into bits that are easily understood and accomplished, but have provided so much insight - each session building into the next.

Dr. Katie has keyed in on the exact aspects of my unique person and guided me in creating my personal brand, vision, and so much more. I have learned so much about myself in my sessions thus far and it has allowed me to grow as an individual. The work completed with Dr. Katie will allow me to deepen my impact and allow my reach of influence to expand as I have developed the appropriate confidence and grown more comfortable in doing so.

I enjoy each session and look forward to our next. Oh and HUGE bonus - she is an absolute AWESOME soul to connect with, and that I will cherish forever!
