Motivational Speakers

When Karen Jacobsen walks on stage, there is no question she is in the driver’s seat. The GPS Girl, Karen Jacobsen’s speaking voice is in over 25 million GPS units giving drivers directions worldwide as “Australian Karen”. She has appeared on ABC World News Tonight, the CBS Early Show, in The New York Times, NY Daily News, Glamour magazine and was named one of People Magazine’s Most Intriguing People.

She speaks to groups who want to inspire the best in their people, and create a road map for their future. She’s that voice that guides you when you are lost and reassures you when you are wondering if you are headed in the right direction.

An Aussie, who ten years ago moved to New Yor, Karen had an unexpected twist in her singing career. She was hired for a 50 hour voice over job. The result was a voice system called “Australian Karen”, now in over 25 million GPS units all over the world.

You could say she specializes in telling people ‘where to go’.

Before long, Karen was being asked to demonstrate those calm and consistent directions ‘live’ and in addition to her music performances, she accepted invitations as a Speaker.

“The GPS Girl” gives great tips in a fun and accessible way on how to Put Yourself In the Driver’s Seat by using road rules and directions as an analogy for business and life. Her book “The GPS Girl’s Road Map for Your Future” shows how to move from the passenger seat to the Driver’s Seat, to learn to listen to your Inner GPS and to Recalculate at any time in life just as we do when driving.

An accomplished and award winning Singer, Songwriter and Pianist, six CD’s of her songs have been released. Her music is catchy, melodic, timeless pop, kind of like Billy Joel would sing if he were a tall, blonde Australian woman.
