Karenjeet joined us recently for our annual ‘inclusion conference’ and gave a moving talk on smashing barriers, challenging the norm, being yourself in the face of adversity and following your passions. Karenjeet not only humoured us, moved us and inspired us through words, but she left you with a feeling that you really can do anything you put your mind to and had a beautiful sunshine radiance to her that shone through. There was nothing that you can throw at this woman where she won’t rise up again like a phoenix – and the guests in the room left inspired that they could do this too. Karenjeet is a natural and our guests really couldn’t get enough! I would highly recommend her if you’re thinking of someone with high impact, high energy who whose energy and soul shines through to inspire action and change. We can’t wait to see her again.

I had the pleasure of hosting Karenjeet as our keynote speaker for International Women’s Day in Accentures Birmingham office. Karenjeet spoke with such passion about her career journey and how she was breaking down barriers. It was inspirational to hear how her hard work, dedication and blood, sweat and tears have made her who she is today! But most importantly her parents supporting her career choices and being her biggest supporters have played a largest part. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to showcase how women can break down barriers, show resilience and be successful should book Karenjeet as their next keynote speaker!
