What People Are Saying about Kevin

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 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!

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.

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 joy of working with Kevin in my Director, Wellness & Benefits role at Hanger. He delivered the “Positivity Under Pressure” webinar to our employees, and it was the highest attended benefits webinar I’m aware of in our organization’s history.

There are a few things I want to point out as I recall my time working with Kevin:
1) He’s a pro at making content that’s easy to understand, sticks with you, and he conveys it in a manner that keeps the audience engaged.
2) The content he teaches is practical and immediately useful.
3) The way he teaches seems effortless, even though there’s clearly a lot of work that he’s put into his presentations.
4) From the behind-the-scenes side, he took the time to listen to me and understand our company’s vision of wellness and was able to reinforce our internal messages with his content, which made it extra impactful.

I would welcome the opportunity to work with Kevin again as his content is inspiring and his presentations are well received. Plus, his delivery is admirable.

Kevin and I met a couple of years back when I was working at Waste Management. He extended an offer for us to join in on a class he was delivering in the area. Kevin is a tremendous facilitator. He knows how to engage the classroom and keep everyone on track with the learning objectives for the day. The content he delivered was relevant to everyone in the class and he was able to relate the content back to real-life scenarios we face in our everyday work environments. If you have the opportunity to attend one of Kevin’s classes, I highly recommend doing so.

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!

Kevin has been providing executive speaker training to our company for several years now. While we’ve use them for a variety of programs, we primarily bring them in for a 2-day intensive workshop for rising executives. I’ve had the pleasure of participating in several of these workshops that Kevin has led over the last 3 years. He’s an incredibly engaging speaker, a dynamic presenter, and an exceedingly thoughtful and constructive coach who can help make any speaker better. His workshop is part of a 3-week-long training series and Kevin consistently gets top ratings from our participants for the quality, applicability, and value of their teaching. In my individual interactions with Kevin as a business partner, he’s unfailingly generous with their time, insight, and stories. I’ve worked with many speakers, facilitation vendors, and partners from several companies over the years and Kevin is one of my all-time favorites.
Kevin provides high quality, state-of-the-art training that consistently exceeded staff expectations and made our management team feel good about their investment of time. He is very skilled at integrating theory with practical application. Consequently, learning is reinforced through completion of exercises and coaching opportunities for practice. The material he presents is practical and extremely helpful. Kevin integrates principals related to best practice, relationship building, motivation and clear communication throughout his training. He is an extremely talented communicator and the information he shares provides a body of knowledge for on-going reflection and insight.

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.

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!

I had the pleasure of working with Kevin last spring when his company was an integral portion of our Annual Employee Appreciation Event. I worked with Kevin from the initial consultation, through delivery and post-event follow up. He was great to work with, presented audience specific topics, and as able to adapt to any challenges we threw their way. I would recommend Kevin and his team for customer service, leadership, and sales training for any major organization.

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.

Kevin has the ability to quickly build a connection with participants; his professional facilitation skills, partnered with his engaging delivery, encourages those in the classroom (in-person and virtual) to be curious and open to learning. His Positivity Under Pressure webinar was a hit with our employees, prompting many to find way to promote positivity groups within the organization.

Need someone to engage your organization’s audience to promote a positive mindset? I highly recommend Kevin Karschnik. I found Kevin to be not only a delightful speaker, but his topnotch presentation helped motivate me to kick start a few of my neglected happy habits back into gear. If you need a boost reassessing your values, Kevin’s doable strategies will help improve the odds of sticking to the supportive tools you enjoy – ones that will keep you positive under pressure!

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 attended one of KeyPoints3’s presentations; their insights were informative, helpful and I would even say inspiring. Their method of communicating made what he was saying even more effective. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting KeyPoints3 and highly recommend him!
It has been my pleasure to work with Kevin over the past 5+ years at Freeman and Torchy’s. He has the skill sets to be an overachiever in the professional trainer/motivator arena. If you are looking for a way to get your teams back on track with a fresh look at communicating with each other or polishing their presentation skills, he is a perfect choice. His style of presentation is adaptable to all levels of staff from the C-Suite to entry-level employees.
Working with Kevin has consistently proven to be an amazing experience. Everything from the easy of scheduling, to providing effective training with positive feedback – every time!

I’ve taken 2 classes from Kevin. He provides relevant information for the subject matter and engages the audience.

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.

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.

I invited Kevin to speak to our all staff training event for AGE of Central Texas, a nonprofit organization in Austin. For nearly two hours, Kevin shared insights with our team. He made the presentation engaging and relevant for a diverse group–from drivers and certified nurse aids who work closely with clients every day to our Executive Director. He made a great effort to make his presentation relevant to our organization and its work. His insights and suggestions helped each staff person consider who he or she interacts with (from caregivers and clients, to donors, to vendors or tenants) and how each moment of interaction can impact a relationship with our organization. After the meeting, I had staff members go out of their way to reach out and tell me how much they appreciated the presentation Kevin gave, and how they felt it would impact their work and their lives. I am grateful to Kevin for the time and care he took in preparing a presentation that worked for us, and for listening and taking cues from our audience to make the information useful for our team. I would highly recommend Kevin as a well informed, talented speaker.

H-U-G-E Thank You to Kevin for his recent virtual workshop on Positivity Under Pressure! Kevin’s ability to keep a group engaged and captivated is unparalleled, and his desire to share his knowledge on Positivity make “learning” almost effortless. I was the point person that set up the (December) virtual session with Kevin, and was amazed at how the participants wanted to share throughout. I got several ‘thank you for setting that up’ emails after the session, with some of the respondents thanking me for the ‘early’ Christmas gift. Great message, great ideas, great presenter!

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.

NSHMBA-Austin chapter has hired Kevin on two different occasions and will continue working with Kevin in the future as a result of his dedication to help the group grow and provide quality expertise in the area of career coaching. He is a very personable and flexible person to work with and I would highly recommend his services.

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.

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 is hands down one of the best presenters I’ve seen in all my years of attending HR related seminars. He captivated our audience immediately and easily engaged our full attention and participation. And the best part – easy, pertinent takeaways to use the next day. I highly recommend Kevin to any organization looking to bring a fresh perspective to management development.

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.

I can’t say enough about how Kevin has impacted my life and professional career. I always struggled with the coaching I received regarding public speaking as it seemed to be unnatural to me. Kevin encouraged me to be more – ME. His approach is kind and encouraging and most of all effective. After I took a class with Kevin, he coached me through my first big presentation – both the preparation and the delivery. Later I asked Kevin for help to deliver my father’s eulogy. There was no one else I would have turned to for this important speech. His guidance helped me deliver a memorable eulogy that I was able to deliver with confidence. I have my entire leadership team taking Corporate Ovations! I want us all to approach presentations using the same methodology, and I want us to use “Kevinisms” as we coach each other and give feedback. Kevin is a game changer who I would highly recommend. Thank you so much Kevin!

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.

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!

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!

I have worked with Kevin on multiple training projects over the past few years. Kevin provided an exceptional classroom experience for our students. He is confident, energetic, friendly, and has excellent communication skills. We receive positive feedback on the sessions he delivers because participants appreciate his passion and experience.

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!

Kevin is an exceptional speaker. He presented for a nationally syndicated webinar series focused on association executives and the audience’s feedback was overwhelmingly positive. If you’re interested in a knowledge transfer experience that adds value in the age of distance learning, I implore you to reach out to Kevin Karschnik.

Kevin is an AWESOME business partner, public speaker, and teacher. We have collaborated with him on multiple occasions to help upskill the presentation skills of our Leaders. He is an engaging presenter and facilitates his classes with enthusiasm and energy. He is a servant leader at heart, and goes above and beyond to ensure he’s meeting the individual development needs of each program participant. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to advance their public speaking skills!

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 has partnered with DISH for over 5 years as part of a 3-week long future executive development program at DISH. As we made improvements to the program, we expanded Kevin’s role to be a 2-day workshop. This workshop consistently receives top ratings for quality and applicability. The ratings were so good that we brought Kevin and team in to conduct a workshop with all of our executive team. Kevin is a trusted partner who I highly recommend. His passion, sincerity and insight is apparent in both workshops and his everyday interactions.
Kevin is the absolute go-to for business speaking and training. He recently spoke to our Ascend class (a group of young business leaders) during a full day retreat and afterwards the entire group sang his praises. One participant exclaimed that, “Kevin’s presentation on Leadership Communication was worth the entire amount I spent on tuition for this year.” Kevin is the real deal. He has passion, integrity, warmth, and charisma. I have seen Kevin speak on multiple occasions and learn something new every time. A++++++++

Kevin led an engaging and very insightful team communication session when I worked at Dell EMC, and I still use the concepts and methods we learned over those 2 days. His approach was authoritative and universal – we had team members of various ages and cultures, yet we all felt unified by Kevin’s upbeat attitude and obvious love for what he does. After the session, I connected with him on various social channels and I’m always happy to see what new ideas he comes-up-with. I would gladly organize or host an event with him as the centerpiece!

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 was fortunate to attend a one-day training session held by Kevin, and I have to say that he is not only dedicated and experienced at what he does, but also very inspiring which keeps their audience engaging while he is educating them. Kevin is an intelligent, wise and excellent Trainer and Speaker – and I would encourage anyone that has a chance to attend one of their sessions and/or to meet with him one-on-one to do so. It’s amazing to work with such a person that has a strong determination to fulfill their goals, while at the same time being honest, open, and sincerely striving to help others achieve their goals.

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!

Kevin Karschnik is an inspiring speaker, who provides practical knowledge and strategies that teams can apply right away. His authentic and assertive style of communication helps people embrace useful information, put it into practice and experience positive change.

Kevin put a session together for our Leadership Conference called Tough Conversations. He covered so much information in such an efficient way. His delivery is very engaging and he gives non-stop energy from start to finish! I would recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a conference speaker or for a standalone session. Great stuff!

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!

We truly enjoyed Kevin’s presentation to the Financial Women in Texas, Austin Chapter, on Positivity Under Pressure. It was timely in the midst of the transitions we still face in 2021. A relevant reminder that we are what we think. He gave relatable, easy to understand examples of how our thoughts & minds work. Tips anyone can easily incorporate into their daily routine to increase your positivity, sprinkling little bits of humor throughout. Kevin was high energy, engaging with the audience, asking for input & feedback. The ladies left the meeting feeling revived and equipped to focus more on our mindset & how it impacts ourselves & others.

Kevin was a great communicator, easy to reach, and quick to respond prior to our event. He was personable and engaging. Afterwards, he shared his PDF slides for anyone that missed the meeting. We look forward to having Kevin speak again 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.

I have participated in several sessions where Kevin Karschnik spoke, and he always inspires me! I love his positive messages, and I highly recommend him for any speaking events or training sessions for your company. I have taken his courses at Dell, and during COVID he came and did a Zoom call with several members of Women in Action and I have taken his tips into the workplace and personally and professionally. Thank you Kevin for all you do! Keep on spreading your inspiration and tips!

Kevin presented multiple times for the Austin Association of Facilities and Maintenance Engineers over the years. His training programs, and his delivery of the programs, were always very captivating and informative. I remember one occasion when the room was packed, and all stayed until the end getting every piece of information they possibly could. Over 24 hours later and the buzz was still in the air about how great this session was in both the material presented and the guy presenting it. I highly recommend Kevin to anyone who is considering utilizing his services.
I have known Kevin since college but have not had the chance to hear him speak to a group. Recently, we needed an alumni to come and speak to a group of young men on goal setting, time management and priorities in life. The message he presented was spot on in how to maximize their time during the college experience. He could not have presented a more clear message to this group of young men. Thanks for your time Kevin!
Kevin has provided amazing training to our customers for over 5+ years. Every single time we partner with him to launch training with a new site, we get nothing but rave reviews. Kevin has been so easy and fun to work with from the very start, and I jump at the chance to tell others about them. The classes are fun, engaging, and relevant to both our work and professional lives. Perhaps the most impressive thing though is how thoroughly they research our industry and roles in order to deliver the training. Not a single person leaves a training without feeling like Kevin really knows and understands what we do, and without feeling like we have new skills to do our jobs better than before.
Kevin and his staff are great to work with. Very thoughtful and creative presentations. Our staff continues to use and practice the information that Kevin shared in his presentation on customer service. I highly recommend Kevin and his staff for future staff development.

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 is an expert in the art of teaching how to improve presentation skills. He has studied the subject for years and can now teach anyone how to deliver a successful presentation. His delivery is remarkably effective. I strongly recommend his seminars, workshops, and book to everyone who needs to give presentations on a regular basis.

I was fortunate to attend a 2-day Communication workshop taught by Kevin. From word selection, to presentation structure and body language, he helped us to develop a positive and engaging delivery to the audience. It wasn’t just his ability to help us communicate more effectively that made it so meaningful, he made the course interesting and fun. This was easily one of the most impactful training workshops I have attended. Thank you Kevin and I look forward to the next!

Kevin is an excellent speaker and trainer with years of expertise and a fun, animated style of teaching. Taking a class from him was energizing as well as informative. I continue to refer back to things I learned from Kevin a couple of years ago. In addition, he gives of himself and his business selflessly for others. It’s a real pleasure to recommend Kevin!
