What’s Next?
What's Next is a mindset – it isn’t a question; it’s a statement.
There will be a What's Next, so are you going to let it happen to you or are you ready to create what’s next on your terms? In this dynamic, entertaining, and transformational keynote, Karen will show you how the What’s Next ideology can be a catalyst to realize your potential.
She brings her trademark energy and real-world storytelling to ignite action, inspire growth and give you the push (and permission) to dream bigger, fail forward, and actually have fun doing it. Karen's energy will uplift and motivate you to reach for that What's Next.
With over two decades as a TV news anchor and reporter, Karen knows how to captivate a crowd — and she’ll have you laughing, reflecting, and ready to move. Her powerful stories and practical tools will help you:
Unlock your voice
Spark your creativity
Take bold steps in work, family, and life
You’ll realize how when you go small, you go big.
You don’t need to be ready — you just need to start.
Let’s go. Let’s find your What’s Next.
Girl, You Got This!
Oprah leaned in and said, "Let me help you." I was 24 years old interviewing the world-famous TV Talkshow Host, fumbling, bumbling, and nervous. Oprah stopped the interview, brought me to a calm state of being, and said, "Listen, I want to help you make this interview great for you. Let's slow down and work on these questions." I was dumbfounded. The TV Megastar then said, "This world is hard enough, women need to help women, and I am going to help you." She then said, "Just promise me you will help other women." That moment changed everything. And that promise? I’ve been keeping it ever since.
In this inspirational, energizing and transformational keynote, Karen shares how to:
Silence the inner doubt
Know your worth & value
Rewrite the limits we’ve learned to live with
Replace hesitation with bold, unapologetic action
Drawing from decades in the spotlight—and life behind the scenes as a mom to two fierce girls—Karen will challenge the idea of being “too much” and flip the script: “If I’m too much for you, go find less.” You’ll laugh, you might cry, and most importantly—you’ll walk away ready to:
Stop waiting for permission
Start chasing your What’s Next
Create your own opportunities
Own the truth that you’re not just capable — you’re ready
Your Words Matter

Let’s be honest—we all want to be heard. We all have something to say. A story, a solution, an idea that matters. But before your message can truly land, you need to believe one thing: Your words matter.
Whether you're leading a team, pitching an idea, or stepping on stage—your words have power. But first, you have to believe it.
