Book me for an interactive workshop

My name is Karis and I teach enterprise skills in a collaborative, interactive, and fun way. If you are looking for an energetic workshop facilitator, my ethos is to leave everyone feeling inspired, excited and equipped with practical strategies they can implement today. I co-founded Social Stories Club, a social enterprise gifting company five years ago, and in that time we won the UK's largest business funding competition, secured thousands of delighted B2B and B2C customers, introduced one million people to social enterprise and learned everything about running a startup from scratch.

 

I am passionate about inspiring and educating other entrepreneurs and equipping the next generation of founders with enterprise skills such as sales, pitching, and marketing. I am an experienced workshop facilitator having delivered workshops across the UK both virtually and in person.

 

I have experience delivering for Enterprise Nation, SES, the University of Edinburgh Business School, Edinburgh Innovations and run the University of Edinburgh’s student and alumni accelerator. I tailor each session to the appropriate audience and below are some examples of ready-to-go workshops but I am always open to suggestions. Reach out to me today to see how we can collaborate.

Hear from my clients

Karis recently delivered a series of workshops including market research and a pitching workshop. I can confidently say these were some of the most engaging workshops I have seen delivered. The content was easy to follow, informative, and presented in a way that was easy to understand and retain by all those in attendance. It is clear Karis is a passionate expert who clearly has a deep understanding of the subject matter. Throughout the workshops, I was consistently impressed with the quality and depth of the material presented. Karis created a welcoming and supportive environment, and they encouraged participants to ask questions and engage in discussions. Overall, I would highly recommend Karis as a facilitator and presenter. The quality of the content, the expertise, and the supportive learning environment all combined to make for an unforgettable experience.
