Testimonials
What clients say about Katie King
“Katie was absolutely fantastic from start to finish—engaging, warm, and genuinely personable. She made a real effort to connect with attendees one-on-one, taking time for every conversation and making people feel heard and valued. That kind of presence doesn’t go unnoticed, and it was deeply appreciated by many. She even got to know some of our local Saskatoon folks, which made her feel all the more connected to the community. Her keynote was also spot on—she delivered everything we asked for and more. It can be tough to land on content that’s both insightful and actionable, but she did just that. Attendees walked away with real, practical takeaways they could implement, which is exactly what we hoped for. She was an absolute highlight of the summit, and we’d love the opportunity to welcome her back in 2027.”
“It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with Katie on a recent webinar focused on the ethical considerations of AI within Learning and Development. Katie was fantastic to work with, demonstrating professionalism and a genuine eagerness to engage in a collaborative effort between both parties. Throughout the planning and execution stages, Katie's contribution was not only invaluable but also deeply insightful, ensuring that the content delivered was both relevant and thought-provoking. The feedback from our audience was overwhelmingly positive, with many attendees highlighting Katie's clarity, depth of knowledge, and ability to present complex ideas in an accessible manner. Katie's insights have sparked meaningful discussions and left a lasting impact on our audience. We highly recommend Katie for her expertise, engaging delivery style, and collaborative approach. Her contributions significantly enriched our event, and we look forward to the possibility of working together again in the future.”
“Katie was an absolute dream to work with! She kindly agreed to host our digital event and we thoroughly enjoyed having her. Throughout the process, Katie was professional, diligent and had a wonderful positive energy, which she brought to our briefing sessions and the event itself. Katie was quick to adapt to our requirements and any last minute changes, and seemed very calm and poised throughout the live event. Her experience and knowledge on AI and CX added so much value for our audience, and I would highly recommend Katie for any speaking engagement!”
“I really enjoyed working with Katie on our Talent Insights Live event earlier in the year. Her presentation on AI and the impact on the Talent Acquisition Industry was insightful and provoked an incredibly interesting debate for the attendees that ran on through the remainder of the event. Katie took the time to truly understand our Embedded Talent Services model and how we are differentiated in the TA space and wove this insight into her storytelling. We received great feedback on the event from the attendees and I am excited to continue our collaboration.”
“Katie was invited as the Keynote Speaker for SUSS-UOB-SMF Global Leadership Symposium (August 2024). Not only was she able to demystify and humanise Gen AI in the new Industry 5.0, but Katie was also able to provide a simple framework for organizations to address the opportunities in a more purposeful and structured fashion. Thank you, Katie!”
"Katie King’s contribution to our event (July 2024) was truly remarkable. Coming from the UK, her enthusiasm and profound understanding of AI brought a new level of engagement and insight. Her presentation effectively demonstrated the practical applications of AI, sparking a powerful interest among our attendees. Her passion not only educated but also inspired our architectural community to consider deeper integration of AI in their careers and personal lives!"
“Katie's presentation at the ACC Global General Counsel Summit could not have been more on point for our audience of senior legal counsel. She kicked off our Summit inspiring our attendees to take a different look at what is possible with AI vs just what is wrong with AI. It gave everyone something to consider as they participated in the rest of the programme and certainly encouraged more than a few conversations and connections for all. Can't recommend Katie more for a keynote or presentation at any organization's upcoming events. Thanks again Katie for helping us hit this one out of the park!”
“I was impressed by the energy of Katie, her confidence facing the camera, her spontaneity vs the script of the video, always finding the right tone and picking the right word and of course we were very impressed by her great professionalism during the preparation but also the way she has been iterating during all the steps of the video production. I was also very happy to discover a bit more from Katie, behind the scenes, understand better what makes her who she is today, fascinating! Thanks again Katie.”
