KATIE ON THE MIC
KEYNOTES, CABARETS, WORKSHOPS, & MODERATION
Your inner monologue is not background noise. It’s shaping the way you lead, create, connect, decide, risk, recover, and show up.
Negative self-talk doesn’t discriminate. It shows up in boardrooms and classrooms, backstage and on Zoom calls, in high-achieving teams, creative communities, leadership retreats, wellness spaces, and everyday conversations we don’t always know how to have with ourselves.
Katie Horwitch helps people change that.
Katie brings a rare mix of depth, humor, honesty, and practical tools to every room she enters. Whether she’s delivering a keynote, facilitating a workshop, moderating a conversation, or turning self-talk into cabaret, Katie helps audiences understand the inner language that shapes how they lead, create, communicate, make decisions, handle pressure, relate to others, and see themselves.
“Katie, we want you to come with us to everything. You are truly amazing and an inspirational force.”

WATCH KATIE IN ACTION
Katie has spoken at large-scale events including SXSW and Transform, as well as intimate corporate workshops, team-building events, schools, wellness spaces, creative communities, and her own signature self-talk cabarets. She’s worked with global brands like DreamWorks and Netflix, growing teams, C-suite leaders, eighth graders, emerging creatives, and audiences well into their eighties.
No matter the format, the goal is the same: to make the invisible conversation we’re having with ourselves visible — and give people the language, tools, and courage to shift it.
Katie’s live experiences are engaging, interactive, and deeply human. Audiences don’t just leave inspired; they leave with specific self-talk shifts they can use at work, in relationships, under pressure, in moments of change, and in the parts of life where “just be more confident” has never been enough.
We may never fully eradicate negative self-talk — we’re human, after all. But we can learn how to recognize it, question it, reframe it, and move forward with more agency, integrity, and self-trust.
“Your talk really spoke to me and came at a divine time in my life. I’m one year out of college, in the corporate world, and currently navigating my journey. I’m so glad I got to meet you and talk about ways to incorporate a love for all my passions into daily life and potentially my career. You are an inspiration.”

MODERATION + HOSTED CONVERSATIONS
As moderator, Katie prides herself on asking the questions no one’s asking (but everyone is thinking) in a warm, conversational way that gets guards down — and fast.
As a panelist, she has a knack for adding a dose of brightness, levity, and relatability that gets the audience’s ears to perk up, and keeps her ears open for opportunities to enhance the points and showcase the strengths of her fellow panelists. She’s been called “refreshing,” “eye-opening,” and a “true team player.”
