Since 1983, speaker-author-coach Karen Susman has inspired audiences by offering creative strategies for assessing and effectively coping with any personal or professional situation. Among the organizations that have benefited from her mix of humor and practical content are the American Society of Association Executives, NBC Entertainment, Burger King, and the National League of Cities. Karen's program topics include humor at work, life balance, networking, presentation skills and building community involvement.

Her work in Witness Preparation helps attorneys’ clients face depositions and the witness box with confidence.

Karen has been through every life stage from baby formula to Grecian Formula. She brings that wisdom and energy to every engagement.

After attending the IABC Southern Region Conference, IABC past president, Barbara Gibson, called Karen, “…my new favourite IABC speaker, networking guru Karen Susman, who got everybody charged up.”

Karen also consults with individuals and groups that want to be more at ease communicating with humans. Her integrated coaching-consulting process has been called the MacGyver style. Karen has amassed a huge “toolbox” of solutions to communication, presentation and networking challenges. She and her client analyze the client’s need and reach inside the toolbox for just the right technique. The result: a more effective, confident communicator who gets audiences to take action.
