What People Are Saying
“Look up ‘role model’ and there you see Kathryn Childers. A trailblazer throughout her life, she tells women of all ages to be brave, take risks – ‘do it scared.’ She is a most eloquent speaker – and funny! And I should know, after my 30 years of keynoting on stage with celebrities for audiences of thousands. Kathryn is the real deal who inspires and is unforgettable!”
Mimi Donaldson
Author and Internationally Renowned Speaker, Speaking Coach
“Kathryn was an amazing speaker! Everyone wanted her to talk forever! She had her five main points for people to take away from her presentation, which was great as it allowed our audience to have tangible things to work on when they left. And all of her stories were so captivating. She was hilarious, relate-able, interesting, knowledgeable, and super sweet. She even bought me a sweet tea from Chick-Fil-A!”
Meredith Miller
President-Elect, American Business Women’s Association – Dallas Chapter
“Kathryn Childers might be one of the best motivational speakers I have ever heard. She spoke to a group of women lawyers, and she had the entire group spellbound – no small feat for a slightly skeptical crowd! Since this was a lunchtime event, and many lawyers have to be in the courtroom by 1:30 p.m., people start to leave by 1 p.m. She stopped her speech to allow the herd to leave out the back door, and almost no one left! I had never seen that and still have not since.”
