Member of the National Speakers Association

Karol Ward, L.C.S.W. is a nationally recognized speaker who helps audiences understand why they do what they do. Through her presentations and trainings, Karol is able to show her audiences how to make the changes they need to improve their professional lives. With her conversational style, she is able to engage audiences so that they feel included in whatever topic she presents. Karol brings her background as confidence expert, communication consultant and therapist to conferences, companies and organizations that are looking for solid information on professional development.

"As a professional speaker and speaking instructor for over two decades, I am used to watching and listening to presenters with a critical eye and ear. Usually, I can fill a notebook with "room for improvement" comments about a speaker's message, organization, and delivery. But as soon as Karol Ward took the stage at the first meeting where I had the privilege of hearing her speak, I knew that my notebook would be empty. Karol's warm, engaging and polished speaking style makes everyone in the room feel like they are a part of her inner circle. More importantly, she helps her listeners recognize how their behaviors may be getting in the way of their own personal and professional success, and gently (but firmly) guides them to better choices. I have learned a tremendous amount from Karol about how to make changes in my own life, and also how to be a better speaker."
