KL047 Karen Jacobsen The GPS Girl Recalculating as a Leader Episode Summary Karen Jacobsen, is The GPS Girl® and the most downloaded voice in the world! She is the Australian Voice of Siri and GPS systems on over 1 Billion devices around the globe including elevators, cruise ships, and other software applications. Karen and I discussed how leaders can recalculate when they find ourselves veering off course. Bio In Mackay, Australia, seven year old Karen Jacobsen dreamed of becoming a professional singer and songwriter, and moving to America. Realizing her heart’s desire and now New York based, Karen's melodic, piano pop songs and powerful vocals have taken her to stages and screens across the world, solo at the grand piano, with her band, on 9 albums and as anthem singer in multiple major sports stadiums. Artist in Residence at High Point University, Karen’s songwriting is across genres including pop, adult contemporary, jazz and singer/songwriter. Unexpectedly, it is her speaking voice that has garnered global attention, ending up in over a billion GPS, smartphones, elevators, cruise ships and software applications worldwide and as the original Australian voice of "Siri". This led to wide media coverage - including being a clue in The New York Times crossword puzzle and Harry Connick Jr calling her “hypnotic” on his talk show - and the creation of her empowerment brand The GPS Girl®. Author of two books, she speaks professionally at national and international events to motivate and breathe life into audiences Currently serving on the Board of the National Speakers Association, Karen shares how to Recalculate when navigating change to reach your dream destination.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
