Kevin was absolutely incredible. He is so gifted in what he does. I am so glad we were able to connect with him to be the keynote speaker for our virtual All-Staff Development Day. He really set the day off to an impressive and motivating start for our 400+ employees attending. It was inspiring to see that staff still remembered and shared the takeaways from his presentation at the end of the day. We also received some great feedback in our staff surveys. I want to thank Kevin again for inspiring us! We received really mindful and helpful nuggets to help us on our journeys to Learn, Unlearn and Relearn: Adaptability & Resilience. I highly recommend Kevin for virtual or in person presentations to corporate groups of any size. With 30 years of experience, he is knowledgeable, patient, thoughtful and sincere. It was a pleasure to work with him!
Mr. Karschnik was a perfect keynote for our organization! His message of positivity in leadership focused on practical and helpful ways for our leaders to manage stress, keep an upbeat outlook, and lead staff to do the same. One listener shared that it was the most meaningful message she had heard in years and that it was life changing!
Thank you, Mr. Karschnik for leaving our lives a little lighter and more focused! We appreciate you!
Some of the best ways to start your workweek is with a willingness to take on the next challenge, work diligently through the mundane, and seek opportunities to be creative. In April I had the pleasure of participating in the Positive Under Pressure virtual program hosted by CNY ATD (Association for Talent Development) with Kevin as the program facilitator. Delivering an informative and engaging presentation, Kevin provided can-do, practical takeaways, and reminders that perspective and attitude are at the forefront of handling stress effectively. Sometimes a voice offering clear focus, positive energy, and personal experiences of overcoming struggle can be what is needed to press forward when the stress seems to be compounding. I look forward to participating in another workshop, or program Kevin is facilitating, and highly recommend attending to others to stay motivated or invigorate any team of professionals.
Kevin, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with the CNY ATD chapter regarding Positivity Under Pressure. Your presentation was amazing. I found you relatable, knowledgeable, and engaging. I have already started to implement some of the techniques shared. I am so glad I joined! I highly recommend. Thanks again!
Kevin led a wonderful program for CNY ATD on the topic of Positivity Under Pressure. It was a high energy and engaging program! Kevin provided participants with a ton of resources to check out. Participants evaluated the program very highly with lots of positive feedback. We can’t thank Kevin enough for his time and willingness to share his knowledge and wisdom with our community!
I attended Kevin’s presentation on “Positivity Under Pressure.” It was one of the best trainings I’ve taken in years. He used practical examples and science to explain his key points, which I shared with my personal and professional contacts. He is an excellent speaker & trainer!
I had the pleasure of getting connected to Kevin Karschnik through his work at iSpeak with my employer Texas Instruments. He was kind enough to connect with me offline to discuss my journey in the entrepreneurial speaker and consulting world and offer his insight and guidance from his own personal experience.
While I often connect with people along the speaker circuit and in the consulting world, Kevin was kind enough to go above and beyond sharing his time on calls with me to download what he has learned along the way. Many people keep their lessons learned tight to the vest, but Kevin has been extremely generous in sharing his knowledge, best practices, resources, tools, and lessons learned as well as connected me with so many other experts in the field.
His expertise in agile leadership and positive psychology help teams and individuals reach peak performance. Not only is he exceptional in delivering to customers in this space, he exemplifies “walking the talk” and modeling the behaviors in which he educates his clients. I have had the opportunity to see him in action and he keeps his audience engaged and they walk away with practical takeaways that can be implemented immediately.
It’s a pleasure to call Kevin a friend and mentor in this evolving space that he has become an expert in.
I had the honor of hearing Kevin speak at our campus’s wellness staff retreat a few month ago and to say I left feeling transformed is an understatement. He has a way of demanding the room and allowing you to truly reflect on your life for the better. His presentation was centered around a positive mindset and being in a constant state of gratitude. With the ability to story tell and give real life examples, he made a impact not only on myself but with those I interact with. He assigned homework to each participant and it included writing down one’s core values which allowed me to reflect on what was truly important to me and be consistent with those things each day. He also shared a morning activity that he does which centers around showing gratitude. I have added that activity to my morning routine and although I still have work to do, I can attest that Kevin made a lasting impact on my life that was certainly for the best. I want to again thank you for you time and know that I look forward to working with you in the future.
Kevin’s session at the 2023 UHD Staff Wellness Retreat was engaging, inspiring, and motivating. I left feeling prepared to approach my work with a fresh mindset, and I was excited to immediately employ some of the internal reflection strategies Kevin shared.
I have known Kevin for a few years now. We worked together in Dell where I became aware of Kevin’s exceptional training methods and wonderful communication skills. Thru out the years I have sent my team members to his workshops on improving their skills across a broad spectrum of topics. The truth is, I also liked to attend his workshops. Content was always bang on, very relevant to the current business needs and challenges. I always came away with a fresh skill set that I could immediately put to use. If you are looking for breaking class level training, Kevin is your man, and I guarantee you or your teams will be far more empowered after attending one of Kevins session.
I’ve taken 2 classes from Kevin. He provides relevant information for the subject matter and engages the audience.
I met Kevin at a leadership training that my company sponsored and was immediately impressed by his approachable demeanor and positive spirit. He has a way of shining a light on development areas and providing simple but practical steps to tackle them that inspires me to do better. He covered the growth mindset material very well but had so many helpful ‘by the ways’ peppered in that I continue to follow to this day. If you’re looking for a thought partner to help you and your teams grow and thrive, he’s your man!
I cannot thank Kevin enough. I attended his Agile Leadership workshop and found the entire content and delivery session insightful. This has been helpful working with all the different learner personalities I encounter when developing content and managing staff. Most of all it will help me personally. The positive message he conveyed is very closely related to how I train, manage and live, but to hear things in a more eloquent message I am able to continually grow my own skill sets. I cannot recommend Kevin enough. His session was eye opening and reaffirming.
If you are looking for a dynamic and compelling speaker, I highly recommend Kevin! I recently got to encounter him for the topic of Growth Mindset and came away from his presentation with so many applications for my work and personal life. Kevin was enthusasic about the topic and brought the room into the discussion. He shared his own experiences which was a nice touch of vulnerability and doing so also helped to illustrate his key points. The materials he presented were well-organized and he kept a level of flexibilty so that the presentation remained engaging. I immediately came away from the discussion with some tools to flex my current thought patterns and the drive to take on new challenges. I look forward to the next presentation with Kevin.
I have attended several of Kevin‘s training events. He is a dynamic presenter and I have learned key takeaways that I can apply immediately in my role. Highly recommend attending one of Kevin’s events!
I highly recommend Kevin! He is a dynamic speaker, he is organized, communicative, and easy to work with. He invested time in learning about the company, the culture, and the objectives of his speaking engagement. He designed a customized learning experience for my employees that met all the objectives and provided a truly engaging experience. He received rave reviews from my team and his session about growth mindset changed the way we approached problem solving! I will definitely ask Kevin to participate in another professional development opportunity in the future!
I had the opportunity of having a workshop from Kevin at the LDP Discover training from BCG about grow mindset and I highly recommend his tools, his way of work and the great way that he has to transmit a message of changing your mind to the positive. As a leaders we forget about ourselves and on this workshop I could remind that I am a continue work in progress, thanks Kevin for being such a professional on this area.
Kevin was one of our guest speakers at BCG’s Leadership and Development Program and led one of our training sessions. He is an expert in the topic and is fantastic at engaging the audience by making the content very interesting and informative. I really appreciated that Kevin made the training fun by sharing personal anecdotes that were both humorous and relatable, and tied them back to our leadership topic. I walked out of this training feeling better informed and confident on how to develop more of a growth mindset in both my career and personal life. I very much look forward to attending one of Kevin’s trainings in the future!
I saw Kevin at a conference and knew his presentation would be perfect for another conference I was planning. He did a phenomenal job making sure his presentation was customized to what we needed and executed it wonderfully! He was so easy to work with and made our conference planning easier – I would definitely recommend him!

I’ve known and worked with Kevin for 5+ years. I can readily list a dozen characteristics that attest to the professionalism, the value and the quality of Kevin as a business associate, as a company leader, and as an outstanding teacher. His workshops are exceptionally valuable and effective. The reliability of Kevin as a provider of services is superb. The ease and pleasure of interacting with Kevin are consistently positive and pleasant.
Kevin is one of the best collaborators I have worked with and is an outstanding public speaker, facilitator, coach, and course designer. I have entrusted the development of my employees and staff to him for years and their content has been – by far – the most popular and impacting in the areas of communication and facilitation. If you seek customized content that will be raved about – and more importantly, utilized with demonstrable results – for years, Kevin and his team should be your choice. On top of that Kevin is engaging, innovative and FUN! I could not recommend him more highly.
We had the privilege of working with Kevin during a series of executive leadership development sessions. Kevin is an example of all that he brings into a session- he is articulate, a great listener, a supreme communicator and more! He is also in command of the space, by virtue of their integrity and presence in ways that ensures all levels of professionals feel in harmony with and of benefit to be working with him. I could not recommend him any higher. Your organization can only receive a high return on the investment of the time and energy you spend under their guidance and within their knowledge.
We have used Kevin so many times. This is a must have for all sales groups, and very important for all employees to learn about their audience and learn better presentation skills! I would highly recommend him!
What I have always found most impressive about Kevin is his enthusiasm and ability to connect with an audience. He is an excellent motivator and coach. Kevin’s message comes across clear and concise. His program is something that will definitely help my career!
Kevin has created a model that positively impacts the way an organization does business while providing tools to increase net sales and customer satisfaction. This model is complimented by his ability to deliver the instruction and material in an engaging and creative forum where participants not only learn from the facilitator but from each other as well.
Kevin provided the foundation to ensure we as employees are positively motivated to do our jobs. He also provided useful training on presenting, selling and servicing our customers. In building a new sales support team these tools are critical to the success of our business. Kevin delivered useful information that my team can apply to their jobs right away.
Kevin spoke to our chapter in February 2022. He shared tips for staying positive under pressure. He was a pleasure to work with from initial contact to follow-up. The presentation was very informative. Kevin was very engaging. Many chapter members were pleased that after the presentation they had both an understanding of the theories around positivity and performance and some practical ways to increase positivity. The presentation was rated very well in our post-session evaluation. Members described the session as relevant, amazing, encouraging, helpful, and motivational. We look forward to working with Kevin in the future.
Love it! Alwas great to hear Kevin speak. Kevin brings his A-game when speaking at our AAFAME events. I could be watching paint dry and be fascinated and entertained by Kevin’s words and thoughts. Good stuff, KK! Good stuff!
Kevin is an excellent speaker that has the gift of keeping everyone engaged. He has a depth of materials to choose from that will cater to any work environment. He led a workshop at our BOMA Austin Retreat and after that I take any opportunity I can to hear him speak.
Kevin spoke at our Women at Dell meeting. Not only did he bring a positive energy to the meeting, he introduced us to useful ideas. I was able to employ his ideas the following week as a panelist in an open forum.
