Karen Asempur - Dancer, Actress, Inspirational Speaker


Last night at the Norwich Yes Group I had the fortune to meet Karen Asemper - Inspirational Speaker. I have to admit I didn't know what to expect as I was not familiar with Karen's previous work as a dancer or actress. Karen has been in Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Doctors. I don't watch those sort of TV shows so I had no idea about Karen's background.

None of that mattered anyway as I was blown away by her talk. It has completely changed the way I was going to give my talk at the Members Night at the Yes Group in Norwich August event if I was picked. The feelings, the emotional roller coaster of her talk was breath taking. I was literally on the edge of my seat.

There have been very few speakers I have seen over the years that have me on the edge of my seat as many offer a similar message, but with Karen I feel like I connected on another level. Her story is so close to that of my own, the things she said and spoke of with such honesty, openness and passion I haven't been able to do about my own life.

I feel truly inspired and I wanted to thank you Karen for truly changing my outlook on life for the better.

Thank you very much for your kind words. what I have learned through my experiences in life is that you will never be the only one with a story to tell, so what ever happens in life Grab it by the "you know what's" and go for it. I'm Inspired everyday by the people I meet and you Jonathan are one of those people. Go for it, and get Speaking.
