"Speakers of your caliber are hard to find! Some might consider a roomful of CPAs and IT folks to be a tough crowd–yet you had them in the palm of your hand. Your weaving of stories and applicable content left the audience raving and wanting more! Your ability to be thorough yet flexible is a meeting planner’s dream!"
JoAnn Benzer, Executive Director, Information Technology Alliance
"Karyn is an incredibly entertaining and FUNNY speaker who had all four hundred women at our event alternately in tears and in stitches, then on their feet for a standing ovation. She is tops in her field and well worth the $50,000 fee."
Kelly Hurtado, VP/Associate Publisher 225 Magazine at Baton Rouge Business Report
“Our organization hired Karyn this past summer for our Training Academy that we offer to our employees. We hire anywhere from four to five external speakers a year and Karyn by far is one of the best we’ve had in the six years I’ve worked here. We received an amazing response from our staff at each of the locations Karyn spoke at. If you or your company are looking for a motivational speaker that is humorous yet has a great message, Karyn’s it!”
Leah Wood, Marketing Specialist, First PREMIER Bank
“I had the opportunity to see Karyn at the CSAE conference. It was one of the highlights of the conference. The audience could identify with her real life stories and couldn’t help but laugh. Most people were in tears they were laughing so hard, including me. I would absolutely recommend hiring Karyn for any corporate or conference event. She is both fascinating and entertaining.”
Soni Fink , Account Executive, The Publishing Group
"Karyn is a person that will really draw you into the message at hand. She not only is a master of helping you to open your mind and perspective about life and stress, but helps you to find humor in everyday. I would encourage all to take the time to invite Karyn to speak with you or your company.”
Jeremy Sherwood, Strategic Account Manager, Opus Interactive
“I recently listened to Karyn speak at the Executive Officers Club. She made us think about serious business issues in a light-hearted and funny way. Her material is very “now”. She’s definitely worth hiring!”

Sally Poole, President/CEO, Poole Advertising
“I’ve seen Karyn speak three times and she keeps getting better! She’s not only fall-out-of-your-chair funny, but brilliantly insightful as well. She understands how to use humor as a tool and helps her audiences use it effectively too. An excellent choice to open or close your next meeting!”

"Thank you for sharing your workshop with us. We learned that laughter is a key essential of physiological, psychological and social health and development.
