With gratitude, Karl has had the opportunity to help managers, teams, and interns improve their confidence and communication effectiveness with themselves, each other, and the people they serve across various enterprises, such as the BMW Group, Mainfreight Australia, the Boston Consulting Group, and Cricket Australia.

He has seen both good and bad communicators, with the latter unfortunately being the most prevalent in organisations and businesses.

When businesses recognise, engage and enable these storytellers through targeted communication development, they give them a voice to express and contribute with clarity, confidence and passion. Combine this voice with the business's mission, and powerful new stories are created for the business, team members, and the people they serve."
