Overcoming Obstacles Speech

Karen Butler is a riveting and engaging speaker that leaves audiences motivated and inspired to overcome obstacles and achieve their best. 

Karen is a self-starter that has defied some negative odds she put in her path: she was a teenage mother and wife, she didn’t go to college, and she divorced and became a single mother.  Those obstacles did not deter her from achieving success in life, and more importantly, happiness. She retired from civil service with the Department of the Army, where she worked her way up the promotion ladder from a volunteer, then GS4, to a GS14, Executive Officer, the position she aspired to early in her career. Karen found a passion for shooting archery during her divorce and practiced often to win the Colorado State Championship. Her love for archery grew into a desire to introduce more women to the confidence she felt from hitting her target.  She remarried a wonderful man, Todd, a United States Marine who encouraged her to follow her dream and build a business to introduce women to shooting sports.  With no entrepreneurial experience, Karen received services from a business mentor took classes and built a successful and unique business that is now in its 11th year. Karen was named the Women’s Business Center of North Alabama’s Entrepreneur of the Year in 2017.

Karen combines her experience and expertise and delivers an eye-opening presentation, Overcoming Obstacles.  The audience will be motivated to  take a deep look at their own actions and reactions and inspired to achieve success.
