ABOUT

Dr. Karen Bartuch is a leadership and performance speaker who helps professionals develop tactical strength, unshakable confidence, resilience, and decision-making power under pressure. A former Chicago Police Officer, corporate executive, and doctoral-trained behavioral scientist, Karen brings a rare fusion of street-level grit, boardroom strategy, and academic rigor to the stage.
Over the course of her career, Karen has led in high-stakes environments where clarity, courage, and composure weren’t optional — they were survival skills. She translates those real-world lessons into practical frameworks that help leaders manage stress, strengthen mindset, and perform at their highest level when it matters most.
Known for her commanding presence, sharp insight, and no-nonsense delivery, Karen equips organizations to develop leaders who think clearly, act decisively, and lead with grounded confidence.
