Inspirational Speaker Karen Anderson

Karen Anderson is the author of Not On Your Life~Classical Pianist Turns Tragedy Into Triumph; and The Little Book of BIG Thoughts. She is available for keynote speaking, workshops, and seminars to encourage others to take simple, successful strides to achieve their full potential. She did it, and she can show YOU how to do it too.

Profile Summary: Karen speaks with compassion for her audience and uses insightful humor to keep them engaged. Karen speaks from her heart. She knows her topic because she has LIVED it. She went from a vibrant young woman, teaching piano and taking care of her family, to being an invalid; dependent on narcotic pain killers and with no hope of recovery…but she did! Karen WILL inspire your group. However, she isn't going to put a ladder down the well to help them out of the pit. Rather, she will give them the tools to BUILD that ladder, one rung at a time. Karen tailors her presentations to each group. Karen's steps allow each person to customize those steps on that ladder so that when they have reached the top and are out of the pit, it's not any work to stay free from life’s traps. In fact, if they find themselves slipping back, they will hear Karen's voice say "Don't you dare! If I can do you it, YOU can do it."
