"Karol was one of the most empathetic and effective keynote speakers we've had in our fourteen year history. She was also "low maintenance". She showed up on time; mixed, mingled, and was charming with the audience. She was completely prepared including opening with a lovely story about our region that only someone who had done their homework would know. I not only highly recommend her as a speaker, I will be booking her again."
