Testimonials for Karen Leong

Inspiring. Engaging. Motivating. We already engaged Karen for several years. At our regional medical affairs conference in Seoul, she led a change management experience for our medical affairs teams. Karen delivered one of the most engaging keynotes on change management I have ever seen. She involved the audience extensively and her messages, like her visuals, were clear and the feedback from the audience afterwards was overwhelmingly positive. I cannot recommend Karen highly enough if you have a need for a keynote speaker to talk about change and attitudes to change. Thank you Karen for exceeding my already high expectations!

Karen gave a great talk at our sold out Social Selling 2019 event in Singapore. She really engaged the audience with her talk about social selling psychology. Karen was excellent at giving people a higher level of understanding of what was needed to become a social selling leader and the audience had some fantastic takeaways to think about and put into action. Karen has a unique charisma which really comes across in her talks as she engages her audience. You won't regret employing her.
