Guest Speaker Background
Karen Clarke is the author of From Bullied to Brilliant and a confidence and performance coach who helps adults and children develop resilience and reach their potential. Karen has a deep understanding of bullying and social isolation from her insight as a professional coach, profound personal experiences of bullying and life as an expatriate in francophone West Africa. As the mother of three children, and one of seven herself, she also understands the pressures families face when bullying becomes an issue.

As a teenager growing up in an increasingly volatile Cote D’Ivoire, Karen’s experience living in an unstable and hostile environment including being robbed at gunpoint had a deep and lasting effect.  The prevalence of violence, bullying, intolerance, conflict and increase in global terrorist activity clearly demonstrates the need for us to bring about effective and lasting change. Karen’s book helps individuals build resilience and learn how to overcome these challenges.

Karen has appeared as a speaker and chairperson at the No2Bullying Conference in 2015 and 2016 and regularly delivers talks and presentations to schools and groups. She has also been interviewed by Dubai Eye 1038 Radio, 7 Local News Sunshine Coast, ABC Radio, Hot 91.1FM amongst others and published in several newspapers. Karen’s bullying material is a key resource for PEMSoft’s ‘Evidence-Based Clinical Pediatric Information’ and is available through their website.

From Bullied to Brilliant is the result of Karen’s 20-year journey of personal discovery and professional research to find a solution to feeling bullied, helpless and intimidated. Karen’s advice and techniques allow adults, teenagers and educators to understand how a change in thinking and perception can end the bully-victim cycle. The world is full of questions, perhaps our answers lie within.
