Doris Karvonen is a motivational speaker who is living proof that it is never too late. Age is but a number.
Your second act can be thrilling!
Doris shows women who feel stuck how to lead a happy and amazing new life. She takes her audience on an adventure of rediscovery.
At the age of 80, she asked herself “Ok, what’s next? I guess it’s time to embark on a new career!” So she began a new venture as a motivational speaker, changing the lives of the women she touches with her amazing story. She has been through many trials and tribulations- marriage, divorce, a single mother of four, and illness. But she has triumphed. Audiences find Doris funny, energetic, inspirational, entertaining and definitely passionate about life.
She has spent many years in the performing arts, has composed, written and produced historical musicals and Broadway-style musical revues with her husband Lee. They continue to perform as musicians and singers. Doris’ other great passions include dance, teaching, and choreographing. She has choreographed many musical theater shows over the years, including two opening ceremonies for the B.C. Provincial Games, which she also produced. Doris has been tripping the light fantastic for over 60 years and loving every minute of it.
She proves that women can jump life’s hurdles, pick themselves up, brush themselves off, and start again.
Her audience is inspired by her confidence, courage, determination and fun. She knows every woman is capable of rediscovering themselves and starting an amazing new life. She believes every woman has a second act that is just dying to be revealed.
Welcome to your exciting and fulfilling second act!
