Testimonials
“Hello Karina,
On behalf of my team and the City of Toronto, I’d like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for the unforgettable 2 hours you gifted us with. You moved so many of us in ways that I didn’t even imagine would happen at this event. You are a LIGHT!!! I personally want to sincerely thank you for the phenomenal work that you do for our people in this world!!!! You are so inspiring and I’ve committed myself to some new personal goals because of you. Never in my life have I been moved and “shaken up” by listening to someone’s words. You kept it real, and that’s what I appreciated the most. We’ve sent out a survey to our staff and I will gladly send you the feedback once it rolls up, however I only imagine it to be positive as that’s all we’ve been hearing from our staff. You were all amazing to work with and I really hope our paths cross again!
All the BEST!”
When the world literally watched her take the podium at the 2012 Olympics, I knew then it was only the beginning of a new career as a public leader and inspirational voice. Karina is a worldclass speaker and on-stage personality that understands how to capture an audience unlike anyone I’ve ever worked with in 20 years. Whether she’s a UNICEF Ambassador or TEDStage Power-Broker, Karina has an appeal that crosses cultural divides and excites everyone she meets. If you’re looking to create a transformational experience at your next event, Karina is someone you should connect with first. She’s a champion, and I like champions…”
“Karina is a force of nature. Her authentic message of dreaming big, empowerment of youth and positivity brought so much energy to our event. Her ability to be in the moment and reinforce messages from the speakers she introduced helped make our BC Summer Games announcement an outstanding success. Everyone in the audience was engaged, smiling and full of energy due to Karina’s story and her million watt smile.”
