I Help You Use Storytelling To Drive People To Take Action
Karis Gill
Storytelling Keynote Speaker
Storytelling is one of the oldest, most powerful tools for persuasion, yet in business we use it completely wrong. We strip it of emotion, overcomplicate it, and bury our message in endless bullet points. I’m here to change that.

About Me
You need a speaker who doesn’t just hold attention, but electrifies a room! That’s me. I’m Karis, story enthusiast, founder, and go-to speaker on using science-backed storytelling strategies to drive people to take real action.I've delivered over 100 high-impact workshops and keynotes, always with energy that gets the audience laughing and scribbling notes, and of course earning consistent 5-star feedback. Watch the audience lean in as they learn how to communicate with a brain that is wired for story. “It makes so much sense! Why have I never been taught this before?” In business, no one teaches us how to use story to your advantage. That’s where I come in. My teachings will make you better at storytelling than 99% of people you meet- thats an unfair advantage!As a founder, I’ve generated multiple seven figures in revenue over five years - powered by the same storytelling principles I now teach. Check out my keynotes and workshops and get in touch today.

Stories That Sell - Strategic Storytelling for Business
Keynote and Workshop 3
Businesses get storytelling wrong. We want to engage clients and inspire action yet we present information in boring presentations full of statistics and overloaded with bullet points. In order to build trust, attract customers and drive conversions we need to understand the psychology behind the brain and communicate information in a way that it has been designed to process- through story. We need to lead with emotion as business leaders make emotional decisions, and use data storytelling strategies to wrap statistics in a narrative that we can easily digest.
