Finally
GET WHAT
YOU WANT!
Simple strategies to SPEAK UP with confidence
Many women miss opportunities because they don’t speak up.
I’m on a mission to change that.
In your heart, you know that your voice needs to be heard. I’ll give you the framework to move past doubt and speak up in important moments. You’ll gain the courage and the skills to ask for (and get!) what you want in the boardroom and beyond. Stop letting opportunities pass you by.
You don’t need permission. Now is your time to take the floor and trust your own voice.
Hear me speak
Hi! I'm Karen Laos
Communication Expert and Confidence Cultivator.
I first recognized the power of confident communication when I successfully negotiated my first flea market purchase at the age of six, under the direction of my dad. He taught me one simple action: to ask. That’s when my love for the deal was born.
Now, a world-renowned Communication Keynote Speaker and Facilitator, I guide corporations and individuals through my tested model, creating meaningful transformation.
Industry giants, like those listed above, trust me to equip their teams with the confidence to negotiate like a mogul and the skills to communicate as an influential leader.
My straightforward talks deliver strategy combined with my proven communication process, and consistently generate long-lasting results by transforming self-doubt and missed opportunities into
empowered growth
more clients
job promotions
negotiation wins
My early confidence in negotiating was a foreshadowing of big things to come.
Yet, while I have led phenomenal teams and consulted global leaders, I have not been without my own struggles. Like you, there have been times when my voice has failed me.
How many times have you…
Been in a meeting and wanted to share your idea, but held back because you didn’t quite know how to articulate it or feared being criticized by others?
Let an opportunity pass you by, because you wanted to keep the peace or maintain the status quo?
I understand because that used to be me. I stayed silent and missed opportunities.
“You made a lasting impression on this cohort.
It was our highest rated session in two years! We have not stopped receiving positive feedback! Thank you for speaking at our women’s leadership event.”

& communication training
You can no longer afford not to do this work.
Through years of mentoring global leaders and the world’s most prestigious organizations, I have learned that communication training is not optional for those pursuing excellence. A strong communication model is now a crucial part of any C-suite leadership strategy.
Communication comes with challenges. Honoring every person within an organization means equipping them with the necessary skills to express themselves in a way that allows them to feel seen and heard. Providing team members a chance to voice their concerns and know how to communicate them effectively creates long term cohesiveness and allows people to flourish.
Often, the entirety of an organization does not feel supported in speaking up about issues or challenges, which causes overall productivity and success to suffer.
Communication, empathy, confidence and what used to be considered “soft skills” are foundational to a strong leadership team and successful culture within an organization. By mastering these essential tools for courageous conversations, best-in-class leaders can create a culture of transparency and engagement for their team members, resulting in greater productivity and positioning the entire organization to thrive.
