Karen Jacobsen

Karen Jacobsen speaks to groups who want to inspire the best in their people, and create a road map for their future. Karen’s speaking voice may be familiar to you, and she just might be giving you directions in your car all day every day. 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 York to seek her fame and fortune, 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. How did The GPS Girl navigate her way from the Great Barrier Reef to the Big Apple? Recalculating her route along the way to reach her destination! 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.
