Karen Eber | Storytelling Keynote Speaker, TED Speaker & Award-Winning Author

I help leaders who struggle to be heard, drive change, or build trust turn complex ideas into messages people understand, remember, and act on. As an award-winning author, TED and keynote speaker, I’ve educated and inspired more than three million people globally. I’ve worked on both sides of the desk as a Consultant and a Head of Culture & Leadership Development at GE and Deloitte.

Through keynotes, workshops, and advising, I help companies communicate clearly, lead through change, and build cultures where people do their best work. I’m known for providing clarity on the Why and the Way, sharing what you need to hear, especially when it’s hard. I show you how to build leaders, teams, and culture, one story at a time.

My book, The Perfect Story: How to Tell Stories Inform, Influence, and Inspire is an Axiom Business Book Award Winner, an International Book Awards Winner, a two-time Goody Book Award winner, a Next Big Ideas Club must-read selection, and has been translated into four languages. My TED Talk: How your brain responds to stories and why they’re crucial for leaders, continues to inspire millions.

I speak and lead workshops on storytelling, storytelling with data, navigating change, leadership communication, and organizational culture for clients including Microsoft, GE, Johnson and Johnson, Citi, Kraft Heinz, and PwC. I regularly speak at Universities including MIT, Stanford, and London School of Business and I’ve been widely featured in media including Fast Company, Forbes, Inc, CNBC.
