Karen Ramstead
Public Speaking
When I first stepped on the runners of a dog sled in 1989, I could have never imagined the journeys my dogs were going to take me on.
In addition to running down amazing and inspiring trails with my teammates, telling my "Tales of The Trail" stories has taken me around the US, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia.
In the last few years I have expanded my public speaking to include presentations on Leadership and Team Building lessons learned from my canine team mates.

Public Speaking - Testimonials
"I was excited to hear about Brazen's event at Suite Spotte in Chicagoland featuring Karen Ramstead and was so very glad I attended. Karen Ramstead shared her passion for sled dog racing and a wealth of business wisdom. The stories and pictures of her best furry leaders and the ways she prepares the dogs for success provided immediate insight that could be applied to preparing and managing any human team. Her relaxed and engaging presentation style allowed for plenty of Q&A, which would have gone on much longer if the scheduled time allowed. Karen's tales of life, leadership, and entrepreneurship left us encouraged and inspired."

“Having attended Karen Ramstead’s presentation to the Pennsylvania Sled Dog Club in 2005, I can say I was more than impressed. Despite not having a promised projector for her photos, Karen went on to speak unaided for over 2 hours. I believe she could have gone longer.
“She told wonderful stories from the trail and her experiences raising Siberian Huskies; racing them and showing them. Karen took questions from the audience on a wide range of topics and never faltered in answering all of them with thought and many times with humor. She is just a delightful person to hear speak about her passion for the dogs.
“I highly recommend Karen to any group needing a great person to speak at their seminars or gatherings. You won’t be disappointed.”
-Donna Q.
"Karen is an extraordinary storyteller and a tremendous presence. Her insights about team-building and risk management were invaluable, and they come from a perspective that few have experienced. Her stories were riveting and meaningful, especially her trek from one pure-bred puppy to multiple Iditarod competitor. "Going big because I'm not going home until I do" was a valuable lesson for conference attendees.
Karen captured the audience with her wit and wisdom and kept them off their phones and on the edges of their seats. I will definitely hire her for future events."
-Kristin Fox, Founder, FoxInspires & Co-founder, FinFoundHer
“Karen answered questions pertaining not only to her experiences running dogs but also about the time she spends in the show ring with her dogs. She was so willing to share her ideas and training methods and was a real inspiration to people like me who have been in the sport for only a few years.
“I left the presentation with a whole new appreciation for what she does and she inspired me to set my goals high and persevere until I reach them…Even if you don’t own working dogs, you will leave the
talk feeling uplifted and motivated.”
- Claire Mardesich
"Karen was a fabulous addition to our conference. She was able to take her inspirational and VERY unique story and make it applicable to our audience of entrepreneurs. She was engaging and personable. In short she set us up for a successful event by giving a thought-provoking talk that made our attendees more open and willing to interact."
