Karinne Faddy is a London-based keynote speaker and storyteller who helps audiences reconnect with their inner authority –and lead from it.
Her talks combine leadership insight, lived experience, humour and powerful storytelling to create something rare: a shift in how people relate to themselves. Audiences don't just leave feeling motivated – they leave feeling differently about who they are.
Karinne Faddy is a keynote speaker, storyteller, educator, host and moderator. She is also a business founder and former Headteacher with over ten years of senior leadership experience across the education sector.
At 40, Karinne's own life came apart at the seams. Sudden pain left her bed-bound for months. Then, in the space of six months, she left her job and lost her relationship, her home and her grandmother. She turned 40 with nothing external left. What she found in that nothingness became the foundation of everything she now shares and teaches.
Karinne delivers high-impact, story-led keynotes for leadership conferences, women's networks and entrepreneurial communities. Her talks create internal shifts in how people relate to themselves, lead others and make decisions under pressure.
Karinne facilitates sessions that go beyond inspiration into practical personal and professional development. Interactive, reflective and built for integration into daily work and leadership practice.
Karinne hosts and moderates live events, panels, fireside chats and facilitated conversations, creating psychologically safe spaces for honest dialogue, depth and meaningful exchange.
