Have you ever wondered what separates the best from the rest?
As a little girl, Dr. Karen MacNeill asked herself this question as she sat glued to the TV watching countless Olympic performers bring their best when it counted the most. Their ability to perform under pressure fascinated her, and that fascination has become her passion and life’s work.
For over two decades, Dr. Karen has had the privilege of supporting athletes and teams at 6 Olympic Games (and counting!), giving her a front row seat as some of the best athletes in the world perform their craft in high-pressure situations. This incredible learning lab has allowed Dr. Karen to formulate a practice her clients can use to unlock their full potential … over and over again.
You see, as a leader, coach, or top performer, you possess a container of capacity – the skills and abilities that allow you to shine in the moments that matter. However, under intense demands and pressure, this container can close up and prevent you from accessing your full potential.
In this talk, Dr. Karen will give you a glimpse inside her Olympics learning lab and teach you the C.A.R.E. practice you can use to unlock your full potential so you can excel and be well no matter the circumstance.
Presentation takeaways:

This presentation is for performance-minded individuals who are looking to unleash their full potential in demanding, ever-changing environments.
Increasing complexity, rate of change, and unpredictability in the workplace are placing more demands on you and your employees than ever before. You are expected to deliver on high volumes of work, while also figuring out how to grow the business, retain staff and take care of yourself no less.
And then you’re blindsided by a challenge beyond anything you could have imagined.
As a leader, you know that these moments come in all shapes and sizes. You have an excellent team, but you can see that they’re starting to fray at the edges. They’re worn down by the constant pivots and unpredictable demands they face both inside and outside of the workplace.
When you face this kind of turbulence, do you know how to bolster resilience, drive results and protect your well-being?
In this interactive presentation, Dr. Karen MacNeill will demonstrate how to arm yourself with the tools you need to keep burning bright instead of burning out.

This presentation is for leaders and key contributors who operate in a demanding, fast-paced environment and want to show up at their best for every single challenge.
Every organization wants a vibrant corporate culture. The kind of culture where high performance is the norm and everyone is working together towards a common goal.
The reality is that leading humans is hard. Your team wants to focus on their work. They feel strapped – like they have too much on their plate already. “Team-building activities” are the last thing they want to see pop up on their calendars.
And yet, you know how vital it is that you intentionally invest in your culture. You know the high costs if you don’t – low trust, energy-draining conflict, inefficient work, and exhausted leadership.
In this interactive keynote, Dr. Karen offers a lifeline of hope to organizations that want to cultivate collaborative climates. As she outlines the pillars of a high-performance team culture, she will equip you with the emotional agility and resilience you need to inspire new possibilities and transform what “was” into what “could be.”
Presentation takeaways:
– Discover the key building blocks of a high-performance team culture
– Develop tools to create safe spaces for and build connection with your people
– Educate your team so they can overcome common barriers to collaboration
– Engage your entire organization with an abundance mindset that inspires countless possibilities
This presentation is for organizations and leaders who are ready to turn “what could be” into a thriving new reality.
