Soy Licenciada y Profesora de Comunicación Social recibida en la Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA).
Además, soy Coach Ejecutiva (ICF). También me formé como Coach Ontológica, y me capacité en Programación Neurolingüítica y Neuro Oratoria. Estudié (y, sobre todo, practiqué y practico) desde yoga, respiración consciente, reiki y meditación hasta mindfulness, pasando por decenas de otras disciplinas que me ayudaron a conocerme y, principalmente, a amarme.
En 2013 fundé Makana Comunicación Estratégica, desde donde ayudo a las empresas a difundir sus mensajes y a lograr un posicionamiento de calidad. Con el paso de los años, y el avance de mi formación en Coaching, se convirtió en Makana Comunicación Estratégica & Coaching Ejecutivo, desde donde ofrecemos, además del servicio de comunicación, los servicios de coaching ejecutivo, mentoring, entrenamientos, capacitaciones, talleres y charlas

Soy periodista desde hace más de dos décadas. Trabajé en radio, tuve un affair muy breve con la televisión, y mi romance más largo fue con los medios gráficos y digitales. Fui productora, movilera, redactora, editora, colaboradora y, cuando era necesario, contaba chistes o ponía música para amenizar esas largas noches de cierre en las revistas en las que estampé mi firma. Entre otros medios, estuve en Perfil, La Nación Revistas, Clarín, Radio Nacional, Yahoo! e Infobae.
El coaching me fue atrapando de a poco, y logré conjugar ambas pasiones en un mismo lugar y con un mismo propósito: transformar el mundo, y acompañar a las personas y empresas a transformar su propio mundo.

You need a speaker who doesn’t just hold attention-but electrifies a room. That’s me. I’m Karis Gill, multi–award-winning founder, storytelling strategies, and the go-to speaker for businesses ready to harness the neuroscience of storytelling to drive real action.

With over 100 high-impact workshops and keynotes delivered across industries, I bring high energy, sharp humour, and strategies that stick. My sessions are known for getting audiences laughing, scribbling furious notes, and walking away saying: “Why has no one taught us this before?”

Because no one teaches you how to sell, lead, or pitch through story. That’s where I come in. I show you the neuroscience and how the brain is wired for story, why decision-makers buy with emotion, not logic- and how to craft business stories that move people. This isn’t fluffy theory. It’s science-backed storytelling that gives your team an unfair advantage.

As a founder, I’ve generated multi–seven-figure revenues over the last 5 years, using the exact storytelling principles I now teach. Whether I’m delivering a keynote to thousands or running an intimate workshop for your team, my goal is the same: to make you better at storytelling than 99% of people you’ll ever meet.

If you're ready to stop sounding like everyone else and start speaking in a way that connects, converts, and compels- let’s talk.
