Karrie Landsverk

WI, US
I work with organizations who want to create stellar experiences for employees and customers by helping them connect, engage and innovate! My style is inspiring, easy to relate to, funny and genuine.

Karrie is highly motivating and will ignite a passion in your teams!

Karrie will put together a plan of action to best suit your organization's needs and will ensure your event is a great success. As an event planner, Karrie will make you look like a rock star! She is easy to work with, on the ball, and brings her A-game every single time she presents! As one of her clients stated, "you are guranteed teachable moments" when Karrie presents!

As a young girl, Karrie Landsverk was shy and uncertain about herself. Her physical disadvantages added to her insecurities while growing up. She wore glasses at the age of 5, living through the endless teasing of being called "four eyes." At age 11, she underwent major back surgery to fuse a portion of her back due to scoliosis and had to wear a full back brace just as she entered middle school. At only 5' 1," she was also one of the shortest people in any competitive sport she entered.

However, Karrie never let any of those challenges keep her from fully living life and following her dreams. She found ways to overcome her obstacles and participated in activities, like cheerleading and showing horses, where she found she could excel. She also learned to be accepting and compassionate toward others, knowing how it felt to be called out as "different" amongst her peers. These "differences" helped her to see others through more compassionate eyes and instilled within her a great desire to teach how to be more accepting and appreciative of others.

Karrie continued to seek her dreams and became the first person on either side of her family to earn a four-year college degree. After successfully obtaining a degree in criminal justice, Karrie found an obvious career choice in corporate America. She discovered she had a passion for leadership and continued to pursue her career in the business world.

Karrie has over 20 years of leadership expertise. After working for nearly a decade in senior level leadership roles for a Fortune 500 company, and over 5 years as head of HR for a 20-location independent pharmacy chain, Karrie decided to pursue her long-time love of speaking and training full-time. Karrie is now a professional member of the National Speaker's Association, has served as president on the board for the WI chapter and currently still serves on the board. Karrie also serves as senior pastor Living Gospel Church and loves inspiring others to live the abundant life she has found as she is guided by faith.

She offers custom training programs and keynotes to businesses of all sizes. Her past experiences with corporate business to mid-size business has given her an in-depth understanding of what it takes to build and maintain high-performing cultures. She incorporates her personal experiences of finding her own purpose and passion into each message she shares. Karrie is most passionate about helping people discover their purpose and live out their greatest potential. Teams of all kinds can accomplish amazing feats as each member works to their greatest potential! 

Karrie is married and has three children.  She is very active in her community. In her spare time, she cherishes time with her family, women's ministry, playing with her dogs, attending rabbit shows with her daughter, gardening, and writing.

Unleashing Your Generational Awesomeness to Increase Employee Performance and Client Satisfaction

For the first time ever, businesses are faced with an exciting and yet complex challenge of having four generations in the workplace at one time. Each generation brings with it different values, skill sets, and perspectives on what "work ethic" and "loyalty" mean. When your views differ, conflict is often not far behind. When conflict is present, your employees are not performing at their highest levels, ultimately lowering productivity or leaving your company...

Leadership: "Why Won't You Listen to Me?" Communicate to Ensure Your Message is Heard
