Options for Speaking Engagements

Karen offers talks to both large and small audiences and runs workshops with small groups. All events are interactive and engaging, and small groups take part in hands-on, experiential learning. Due to Covid-19 concerns, she is unable to offer in-person talks at this time, but you can still access all of the same information and have time for much-desired discussion during a webinar.

Karen’s basic talk — in real life or virtually — can be customized to fit the time you have in your agenda. Just don’t forget to allow time for discussion because, remember, people want — no need — to talk about the implications of this message once they’ve heard it.

 

Podcasts Karen has been on

  • Watch a replay of a discussion on the podcast "Three Things I Have Learned with Susan Dolci". 
  • Recently I had the pleasure of a deep conversation with my colleague Dr. Heather Clark, PharmD where we explored how to talk to people we disagree with, and how those productive conversations can help us become unshakable.  Listen (and subscribe) to her podcast, Unshakable Being, where she explores inspiration and practical tools to help you shift out of stress, stop going in circles, and get what you want in your life, body, and business. You can learn more—and get the transcript—at  https://www.unshakablebeing.com/.

Testimonials

Would've gone on all night

"Karen was great to work with before and during her program. “Persuade, Don’t Preach” was well-attended at our library and patrons left having learned something new. The discussion portion at the end probably would’ve gone on all night if we didn’t have to close! I look forward to bringing Karen back in the future. "

"I love how grounded Karen's talk is in research."

I recommend the presentation and the presenter

Steve Ross, Coach to Non-Profits

(We) thank Karen Tibbals for her presentation, “Persuade, Don’t Preach: Restoring Civility Across the Political Divide” on 2/23/2020. Her presentation on the ethical frames of people holding opposing political views engaged us in meaningful conversation to explore ways to understand each other’s values and ways to communicate and advocate effectively based on that understanding.  

Quakers of Orlando

Karen, thanks so very much for your wonderful program this morning (and afternoon)!  It was so well done, very engaging, and thought provoking.  I think I speak for everyone in saying how well received it was.  It was a new perspective for me personally and one I will put into effect when dealing with challenging people.
