The GPS Girl's Road Map to Your Future

When Karen Jacobsen, the GPS Girl®, walks on stage, there is no question she is in the driver’s seat.  Karen’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,  and Glamour magazine, and she was named one of People Magazine’s Most Intriguing People.

Karen speaks to groups who want to inspire the best in their people, and she inspires them to 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 York, Karen had an unexpected twist in her singing career. She was hired for a 50 hour voice-over job, which resulted in a voice system for GPS directions. Hers is the voice called “Australian Karen”, now in over 25 million GPS units all over the world.

Before long, Karen was being asked to demonstrate those calm and consistent directions in real life, and in addition to her music performances, she began accepting invitations as a speaker on living with direction and awareness. She began sharing her story about how she overcame chronic insecurity and navigated her way from a small town near Australia’s Great Barrier Reef to the Big Apple to inspire others to create their own road maps to their futures.

In her life she has mastered the art of creating a road map for herself and learning to follow it – and to include consciously the course corrections that are needed. So it’s no coincidence that she specializes in telling people “where to go” – or that she became the voice for millions of people looking for direction.

In her talks Karen, who is billed as “The GPS Girl,” presents her serious training for life in a fun and accessible way. She expands on how to Put Yourself In the Driver’s Seat, 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.

How did The GPS Girl navigate her way from the Great Barrier Reef to the NYC? Of couse – she set up her map and then recalculated her route along the way to reach her destination! Her story and the principles she derives from it can have a profound impact on your audience.
