Every high performer has one tool with them every second of every day. Most never learn how to use it.
Karen Farrell is an award winning speaker and performance coach who helps leaders and teams understand how the science of breathing can transform the way they perform under pressure.
With a Bachelor of Music, a background as a trained singer and expertise in performance breathing, Karen brings a unique perspective to high performance. Drawing on techniques developed through professional performance and combining them with the science of breathing and mindset, she shows audiences how to regulate their physiology, manage nerves, think clearly, communicate with confidence and perform at their best when it matters most.
Karen’s keynotes are energetic, interactive experiences that bring together science, storytelling, music and audience participation. She takes something audiences do every moment of every day and turns it into a practical performance tool, helping people manage pressure, sharpen focus, build resilience, sustain energy and recover more effectively.
Her approach is grounded in a simple idea: you cannot always control the pressure you face, but you can influence how your body and mind respond to it.
Karen doesn’t simply inspire audiences to perform better. She gives them practical techniques they can use immediately, helping leaders and teams become more composed, focused and confident when the stakes are high, while building the habits that support sustainable high performance.

She is a phenomenal facilitator who knows how to connect with a room and deliver real impact.
Karen’s talk was brilliant! Exactly what we had requested, really uplifting and a great way to demonstrate how different breathing techniques can immediately change the way we feel. I’d thoroughly recommend Karen to organisations looking to improve the performance of their teams. Thank you Karen!
