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.
