Client Feedback
I saw Kari present at a conference and thought, "I need to learn from her!" Her presentation style is engaging, funny, and insightful. She's not only brilliant, but she also really knows how to connect with an audience and present information in a way that is meaningful and digestible. I knew I wanted my own presentations to be more like hers, but I wasn't sure how to get them there on my own. I approached her after the presentation and was so excited to find out that she coaches people in this very area! I'm so thankful that I had the opportunity to work with her.
Kari has such a unique and creative way of approaching presentation development and she was really effective in coaching me in this style, helping me take my existing trainings to the next level. She helped me think through and be strategic about all parts of my presentations- from the content, to the flow of information, to making the visuals more thoughtful and engaging.
Since working with Kari, I'm getting great feedback on the trainings and workshops I facilitate. Using her insight and presentation style, I'm making more connections and getting more presentation requests than ever!
Now that I've worked with Kari and learned her theories around developing powerful presentations, I feel confident that I can keep applying these principles to new trainings that I create in the future. It really was a great professional investment for me.
And on top of all of that, Kari is such a delight to work with! She is so approachable and encouraging and has a great energy about her. It's so fun to work with someone who has so much knowledge and also has such a great sense of humor. I really can't thank her enough!
If you're wanting to learn how to be a better presenter and/or improve your existing presentations, I highly recommend working with Kari.

Kari and I connected after a seminar she led on the teen brain. I loved her presentation and approached her afterward, seeking collaboration on a project I was working on. Kari signed on as a consultant, and the rest is history. We created interactive, engaging social entrepreneurship curriculum for teens, and Kari joined each of our program's sessions. Though it was not in her contract, Kari went above and beyond and meaningfully connected with each of our participants. She greatly enhanced their experience in our program, and made my work as a solo employee a breeze.
While I was working with Kari, my direct supervisor lived across the country. Kari quickly became my right-hand woman, and caring mentor. She noticed my strengths and weaknesses, and provided feedback and affirmation my supervisor was unable to give because of distance. Her coaching was thoughtful and effective. She always reminded me of my growth and helped me keep things in perspective when I felt overwhelmed. She coached me through my weaknesses, and was an incredible though partner as I navigated challenges.
Kari has remained a friend and mentor to me as my career has grown and changed. I feel Kari is sincerely invested in my success and well-being. She is a light in so many people's lives and I feel privileged to have had the chance to work with her.

Kari Knutson is an incredible speaker and consultant. I have been present for many of her speaking engagements, and always walk away with a smile on my face and a much more lightened attitude towards life. Kari understands her audience, and a great job relating to them. She approaches her talks from a real-world position which immediately places the listener at ease. I've also hired Kari for presentation coaching, and she does a wonderful job! She approached the engagement by asking me to describe what I do, what makes me passionate about my role as a CFO in a law firm, and how I feel I can best influence others to do what needs to be done to maximize the firm's position. After a couple one-hour sessions with her, the presentation really came to life thanks to her coaching, and suggestions for how to approach the visuals for the presentation. In one word, Kari is AMAZING!
When posed with the question, "What's it like to work with Kari Knutson"? one's brain goes into hyper drive. One thing that is true: Kari's enthusiasm and passion to move folks to their true potential is a gift to behold. Her infectious spark of anything is possible laced with some true grit reality strikes the perfect balance for collaboration. I have had the absolute joy of working with Kari on multiple projects. The unstifled creative flow which ensues fills us both with a renewed excitement to help others not just be but to become. This energy is sustained through the planning, launching, and completion of each and every scheme and dream we have shared.

to her presentations.
Kari sharing real-life examples is always amazing. I also appreciated the ideas for building resilience and coping skills. She is just amazing
Kari breaking down the differences and explaining the symptoms of each really helped me evaluate where I am at personally.
The topics and presentation were all relatable. Her energy, and comedy woven into the presentation were wonderful!
I think she had many great examples... and particularly liked her humor.
Kari's approach to training is excellent and her handout and examples are always so relevant and help you remember her examples. Speaker performance The power of my mind. If I speak positively about and to myself I will have a positive mindset. If I speak negatively about and to myself I will have a negative mindset.
Fantastic presentation- lots of takeaways! Kari is amazing and funny! Putting things in place during the session.
