Make Your Message
Land, Stick and Sell
Karis Gill
Storytelling Keynote Speaker
It’s a storytelling experience that will change how you use stories in business forever. With energy, humour, and audience interaction, you’ll discover the neuroscience behind persuasive storytelling- and uncover how to use storytelling in business in ways you’ve never imagined, with results you won’t forget.
“Everyone should book this incredible person.
A total Pocket Rocket who knows exactly how to make a message stick.”
– Celia Hodgson OBE
About Me
In 2017, I had an idea I couldn’t stop thinking about.
In 2018, we launched the business! We believed the idea would sell itself.
In 2019, we were frustrated and burnt out. Why did no-one else think this was as amazing as we did?
In 2021, wow! We started using story and hit every goal we set. We generated multiple six figures a year in revenue (even six figures in one day!), featured in multiple publications including The Sunday Times, grew our team to 13 people, sold to over 300 corporates internationally and won so much funding we stopped applying.
Neuroscience doesn’t lie – our brains are wired for story. When you get your message right, it lands, sticks and sells.
By 2026, I’d delivered over 150 high-impact workshops and keynotes, and become a multi award-winning entrepreneur.

Testimonials
“We loved having Karis join our EAUC Scotland conference to help bring the world of storytelling to life. From the word go she's engaging and gives such enthusiasm and energy, quickly spurring the audience into discussions and empowering them to share their ideas and flex skills we've not been used to using. People left the space seeing they have a new, very effective tool in their toolkit and a feeling of permission to use it, to give it a go. I know I will be.”

“The moment I spoke with Karis, I felt a huge sense of relief — that organiser’s moment of “yes… this is the person.” And on the day she absolutely delivered. Not only did she avoid the dreaded afternoon slump, she lifted the room even higher. Her storytelling is captivating, honest, funny and deeply relatable. Karis has a very unique energy — uplifting, real and full of warmth — and the audience were completely with her. I’ve now had the pleasure of hearing Karis speak a couple of times, and every time I walk away with new ideas and insights. I’m already looking forward to carving out time to implement some of her techniques in my own life and businesses. If you’re looking for someone who can help you master sales through storytelling, connect with an audience, and leave people genuinely inspired, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Karis. Trust me — your audience will thank you.”

“We had the honour of having Karis join us for a fireside chat to share her knowledge on how we can all magnetise and convert clients on LinkedIn using story. The audience were so engaged, I ran out of fingers to count the amount of questions being thrown at Karis - always a great sign of a good event and an even better Speaker. I know the entire audience have taken away some unreal tips.”

“I’ve had the real pleasure of working with Karis. She’s one of those rare people who mixes creative thinking with calm, grounded delivery. She brings real warmth, genuine energy and authenticity to any event. What strikes me most is her ability to connect ideas and people. She listens, she challenges, and she helps shape work that’s stronger and more inclusive because she’s involved. She has a natural instinct for purpose-led work and a clear sense of what makes collaboration actually work in practice. Karis spoke in front of 250 attendees and was incredibly well received. Anyone who works with her will see very quickly how she lifts a project and the people around her.”
