Find your
freedom to perform

When you want to bring your best consistently, you don’t need more skill: you simply need the focus and mindset to produce that skill.

Training the mind and bolstering resilience will help you perform when the pressure is on.

Hi, I’m Dr. Karen, a performance psychologist, professional speaker, mental performance consultant, coach, weekend warrior, multi-tasking mom, thrill-seeking adventurer, and relentless difference-maker. I am dedicated to unleashing your highest potential so you can shine in the moments that matter.

I’m passionate about working with executives and elite performers who are driven to succeed both personally and professionally. These individuals operate in ambitious, fast-paced, high-pressure environments. In times of overwhelm, fatigue, and uncertainty, they may doubt that they can handle the demands placed upon them, impacting their ability to rise when the pressure is on. They are looking for tools, strategies, and guidance that will free them to burn bright instead of burning out.

If you are ready to unleash your highest potential and cultivate the freedom to perform, let’s talk!

What
Clients
Say...

“We were delighted to welcome Dr. Karen MacNeill to our conference in 2018. With delegates still impacted by the prolonged downturn, Dr. MacNeill’s topic of High Performance Recovery resonated and was well received. As a speaker, her enthusiasm in her delivery was excellent as was her ability to adapt as she went along due to some onsite logistical challenges out of our control. Bravo! Thank you Dr. Karen!”
Sheila McFayden, CEO, Canadian Association of Petroleum Production Accounting (CAPPA)
“Having Dr. Karen MacNeill as a guest speaker for WXN gave our community an opportunity to learn about resiliency, responding to stress, and how to build the tools we need to excel when facing the most challenging times. Her focus on mental, physical, and emotional well-being is the kind of support we all need – and wow did she deliver! Dr. MacNeill’s presentation was easy to follow, and her insight on performance, mental fitness, and self-discovery was such a valuable tool for all who attended.”

“Dr. Karen’s presentation has really opened my eyes to the many considerations of what it takes to be “high performance leader.” That being said, she really humanizes the concepts and inspires confidence in me that being “high performance” is achievable. Her presentation was very engaging and very entertaining!!!”
Michael Baldwin, Senior VP, Corporate Development, Trican Well Service Ltd.
“Dr. Karen is an innovative leader in performance coaching with a great background as both an elite athlete with an impressive, educated mind. Through a vast experience in the field as a sports psychologist working with a varied range of high achievers, she knows how to understand people and circumstances, identify the challenges and provide tools to grow and ultimately become a better version of themselves.”
Head Coach, Professional Football (Soccer), Canadian Premier League
“We were thrilled with Dr. Karen as a speaker for Young Women of Influence. Her talk focused on ‘Top Performance’ and incorporated her own experiences in sport and business to illustrate the pressures everyone faces at times of high pressure. By providing a three step process for success, highlighting personal anecdotes, and engaging the audience in visualization, our audience was able to walk away truly inspired. Dr. Karen’s speech was applicable to both personal and business situations and provides immediate opportunity to improve performance. Some of our regular attendees mentioned she was the best speaker we have ever had!”
Leigh Anne Cooke, Event Coordinator, Women of Influence Inc.
“Dr. Karen MacNeill was a keynote speaker for us at our Business Execution Summit in March of 2019. Her session was engaging, relevant and from the heart. She is obviously passionate and very knowledgeable on her topic, and the feedback we collected from attendees was top rate. Thank you Dr. Karen for your contribution to BEx19!”
Andrea Kenna, Practice Director, Results
“The performance coaching experience with Dr. Karen was one of a kind and very different from previous coaching experiences I have had throughout my career. I really appreciated her insights on psychology and the tailored program that was very specific to my individual needs. Her coaching and support really helped me enhance both my mental fitness and bolster resiliency. It was an enlightening coaching journey!”

“Karen was an ultimate pleasure to work with. She is quick in analysis and brilliant in execution. Her sheer wisdom and expertise increased the value of our event and helped to educate and inspire our attendees. I would definitely work with Karen again!”
Kenisha Williams, Event Strategist, Spark Event Collective
“Dr. Karen was the most important addition to my personal “team” in my career. Karen helped me navigate from having performance anxiety and self-doubt, to becoming the most resilient, adaptable athlete that I could be. Through mental health challenges, Dr. Karen helped guide and facilitate my mental training to become one of the best in the world, and to being an integral piece to our teams performances, and an Olympic Champion. But the most important role she played was helping me understand and become more aware of my challenges with mental health, and how I can continue to lead a happy, joyful life off the field.”
Olympic and Professional Athlete, Gold and Bronze Olympic Medalist
