Scaling Isn't Just Strategy. It's Personal.

Preparing to Pivot is more than a keynote—it's a catalyst for entrepreneurially-minded leaders who want more than momentum. It’s designed for visionaries navigating fast growth, evolving teams, and high-pressure decisions.

Whether you're building your own company or leading within one, this experience gives you the clarity, confidence, and adaptability to lead effectively and evolve with purpose.

Your Growth Is Tied to the Leader You’re Becoming

The C.E.O Conundrum

Revenue, reach, and results are byproducts of aligned leadership. Kareen's keynote reframes growth as an inside-out journey: scaling begins with clarity, sustained through adaptability, and driven by presence. When leaders evolve, they unlock faster decision-making, clearer communication, and strategic focus—all required for today's pace of business.

"Your business is 100% a reflection of how you lead it. If you don't grow, it won't."
— Kareen Zahr

Why book Kareen?

Kareen Zahr isn’t just a strategist — she’s the woman founders and executives call when they’re ready to play bigger, scale smarter, and stop burning out on the way to their exit. As the business coach for the Tory Burch Foundation Entrepreneurial Fellows, Kareen brings the same frameworks she’s used to guide startups and trillion-dollar enterprises alike: The Owner Method and the Hey Kareen® on-demand AI coaching platform.


Her genius is blending hard business strategy — capital readiness, go-to-market strategies, systems — with conscious leadership so founders don’t just grow, they evolve. She makes scaling sustainable, exits attainable, and leadership human again.


On stage, Kareen delivers practical, repeatable playbooks that busy leaders can apply immediately. She doesn’t do theory; she gives audiences tools they can run with the moment they leave the room. If you’re looking for a speaker who can shift perspective, spark action, and make growth feel inevitable — Kareen is it.
