Grounded in real conversation, clarity, and human connection

“It was magical to experience how seamlessly Koren interacted and led an entire room of C‑suite individuals, in what felt like just two friends chatting. She had the room’s complete attention from beginning to end and connected with each individual. Koren did not present to the room — she embraced all of the attendees and let them know that we were all in a safe space; and that at the core, we are all human.

Koren has the innate ability to instantly connect with people because she is always her genuine self — real, unfiltered and genuine. The experience will definitely be memorable and impactful.”

— Giovanni Cautillo, President, Ontario General Contractors Association

“Working with Koren Waines over the years has been an absolute pleasure. By sharing her story and experiences, she has opened my eyes to so much of what life has to offer and the importance of making the most of the time God has given us. Her subject matter knowledge is extensive, and she is an exceptional listener — but what truly sets Koren apart is her genuine love, empathy, and compassion for people.

Professionally, Koren is an incredibly talented and engaging speaker with a remarkable ability to connect with people and leave a lasting impact. She is honest, organized, trustworthy, and extremely professional. Koren has delivered numerous keynote presentations for Maple Reinders, and every time, she has left a lasting impression on our people. She has become much more than a keynote speaker to us; she has become part of our family.

I highly recommend Koren to any organization looking for a speaker who will inspire and motivate their people, and leave them thinking differently about life, their priorities, and the impact they can have on others.”

— Craig Sparks, Director, Health & Safety, Maple Reinders
