Karla specialises in Digital Leadership, Digital Citizenship and Digital Wellness but one of the conferences she is most looked after for is:

ACTIVATING MY POSITIVE ENERGY: “Believe in yourself and you’ll be unstoppable”, “Be confident in yourself and you will succeed”, "Success is not the key to happiness, Happiness is the key to success”.... Sounds great, but… How do I believe in myself? Is there a road to self confidence? How can I be happy with the day to day problems and stress?

We might not have a money tree, but we can plant the seed and have a happiness tree! Dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and the endorphins are the ones responsible for our happiness. Many events can trigger these neurotransmitters, but instead of being on the passenger’s seat, there are ways to make them flow according to our intent.

Being in a positive state of mind brings a positive impact for our motivation, productivity and our wellbeing. Nobody would be opposed to having higher levels in these areas. In this talk, you will learn some simple yet very effective ways to activate your positive energy!

Some organizations Karla has been speaker for:

ASPEN Ideas Festival, Inter American Development Bank IADB, International Monetary Fund, World Bank, Opportunity Collaboration,  YPO Bolivia, YPO Guatemala,  TEDx Incae, TEDx Guatemala City, Vital Voices Global Partnership, World Summit Award, AGEXPORT, INTECAP, AGG, UFM, URL, UVG, USAC and many more.
