"If resilience had a face, it would be Karen Northshield," remarked an audience member at one of her conferences.

"Karen is truly an icon of resilience," says Belgian RTBF journalist Justine Katz.

Karen survived one of life’s most devastating events—a terrorist attack. She was standing next to the first suicide bomber at Brussels Airport, unaware of the impending explosion. In an instant, her life changed.

Once a top athlete in peak condition, she was thrown into the air, landing with brutal injuries and fighting for her life. Doctors gave her zero chance of survival.

Against all odds, Karen overcame countless medical, physical, and psychological battles. As a polytraumatized survivor of a war crime, she now speaks to audiences worldwide, demonstrating the strength within us to overcome adversity.

In her inspiring talks, she shares a powerful three-step model to help individuals build resilience—both personally and professionally.

Hearing Karen speak is a rare opportunity to meet a survivor who openly shares her extraordinary journey. A must-see experience to inspire, learn, and grow.
