“Kara provided a poignant and meaningful presentation to more than 350 female business professionals at our recent conference. Her delivery was hard-hitting yet laced with humor. A definite audience favorite!”
As the author of Gorge: My 300-Pound Journey Up Kilimanjaro and Weight of Being and a speaker, I share stories of courage, adventure, and lasting change to help others move mountains.
My motivational speaking events and webinars help audiences move mountains in their lives. From corporate events talking about body inclusivity, weight stigma and connecting with the plus-size market to college and university events about binge eating disorder and body neutrality, I bring heart, humor and humility to each venue where I’m honored to be a speaker.
“Kara spoke to our executive members in travel and hospitality for one of our events and was the perfect fit. Kara touched on a topic of inclusivity that so many have not even considered.
She was insightful, educational, honest, and authentic. She had the entire room of leaders captive during her keynote and gave every attendee something to think about and take back to their teams, no matter what department they lead. Kara is so wonderful to work with from start to end.”
My presentations are relevant to a wide range of audiences.
Each event is custom tailored to your needs. Here are some sample topics I’ve spoken about:
Moving Mountains
Develop the resilience and tenacity to conquer any obstacle and reach your goals, while helping others.
Love Where You Are
Find fitness and self confidence at any size while letting go of the stigma of weight.
Forge Ahead
Tell your story with honesty and bravery in this writing workshop to benefit yourself and others.
