PRESENTATIONS & CONFERENCE MODERATOR

Karen Buckley is a thought leader, invited to speak in the US and abroad.  You will leave her presentations ready to:

  • Apply ground-breaking insights to your industry and organization.

  • Think differently about your future, energized to step up and take different actions.

  • Understand and design for the dynamics of change, what engages and what frustrates you and your organization.

  • Identify bottlenecks to creative, dynamic leadership and how to transform these into promoting forces.

  • Explore your leadership edge, and turn your personal vision, what matters most to you into a powerful commitment.

  • Discover the competitive advantage of encouraging the feminine modalities in leadership.

  • Generate wise leadership in your self and others.

    Karen will customize presentations for your audience.


I watched Karen Buckley conduct more than one of her Wisdom Leadership Forums, “The Wisdom and Power of Women Leaders” where a merger acquisition lawyer cried as he witnessed women speakers fully and seamlessly integrating business and the common good into one way of being. Karen has the ability to touch this place in people. It is rare and powerful…and edifying in the deepest way.”
