Our Speaker:
Karen Valencic
As a best-selling author, speaker, martial arts black belt, and engineer, I am passionate about revealing the keys of conflict to leaders so they can fast-track innovation and enhance team performance through the turbulence of change.
I know the best ideas in business all too often are lost in the maze of poorly handled disagreements. Therefore, the ability to innovate with conflict is an essential skill for leading-edge businesses and people!
Spiral Impact, my time-tested method, combines physics with martial art concepts for an eye-opening take on the way we engage with each other and with life circumstances.
I’ve consulted, trained, and coached inside organizations for 20+ years, focusing on propelling leaders and their teams ahead of the curve in performance and innovation.
