About Kari Harris — Founder of Speak to Lead
For over 20 years, I’ve worked in performance — helping people step into the spotlight and deliver their best.
My background is in film, television, and advertising as a casting director, running Kari Harris Casting and working with brands like Nintendo, Foxtel, Telstra, Cancer Council, McDonald’s, and Woolworths.
‍
Through that work, I learned something powerful: it’s not just about confidence — it’s about connection before, during, and after a performance.
‍
Confidence gets you on stage, but connection keeps your audience with you. And when you combine connection with strategy, you can truly leverage the opportunity — to inspire, influence, and lead.
‍
That’s what inspired Speak to Lead.
Find Out More About Kari

Confidence gets attention. Connection keeps it.

As a brand, you go from swimming with the competition to becoming the competition.
‍
Working with me goes far beyond the stage or the boardroom. I help clients uncover their authentic voice, align their message with their purpose, and bring it to life — but what often surprises them most is how this process transforms the way they see themselves and how they show up in every part of their life.
‍
Because when you learn to express yourself with clarity and confidence, you don’t just lead better — you live better.
‍
That’s the quiet magic behind my work: provoking fresh thinking, inspiring creative confidence, and helping people see possibilities they hadn’t before.

Hear From Our Clients

I met Kari when one of our mutual friends passed away. I'm a singer and when 'Light Up' was put together in memory of Audrey Griffin, Kari's help was invaluable. I can get up on stage and sing with no issues but speaking on stage to an audience of 4000 people is a different story for me. I don't know why I've always had a bit of a fear of it but after only a few sessions with Kari, I completely transformed my way of looking at the situation. Her insights, tips, expertise and just her overall attitude and personality are something you cannot put a price on. I couldn't have gotten through the day without Kari's guidance, she has left a lasting impact on me personally and me as an artist and I could not be more grateful.

ARABELLA ROMI - SINGER SONGWRITER

Working with Kari Harris and Speak to Lead has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my creative career. She brings not only years of media and production experience but also a rare combination of empathy, insight, and professionalism. Kari has an incredible gift for seeing the big picture while guiding you through the fine details that will set you apart from your competition and that makes all the difference.

Paul Chenard - Chenard Entertainment

When I was invited to speak at the Business Network International National Conference, I was both honoured and absolutely terrified. Speaking in front of 600 people was well outside my comfort zone, and I honestly didn’t know where to start. That’s when Kari stepped in — and I can confidently say I couldn’t have done it without her.
Kari was there every step of the way. She helped me refine my script, polish my delivery, and find a presentation style that felt authentic to me. But beyond the technical side, she supported me mentally and emotionally — helping me manage the nerves, focus my energy, and stay calm and confident. She even went above and beyond by arranging rehearsal spaces, coming to my home for extra practice sessions, and ensuring I was fully prepared for the big day.
Her guidance, insight, and generosity made an enormous difference. Thanks to Kari, I was able to deliver a presentation I was genuinely proud of, and one that I never thought I’d have the confidence to give. Kari’s coaching was invaluable, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone preparing for a keynote, presentation, or any moment where they need to find their voice and own the stage.
