THE CUSTOMER HAS CHANGED.
HAVE YOU?

INTERNATIONAL KEYNOTE SPEAKER | CUSTOMER TRUST & INSIGHT STRATEGIST

HI, I’M KATRINA!

Katrina McCarter is a keynote speaker who delivers more than motivation.

She helps organisations understand today’s customer, how they think, who they trust, and what drives them to choose one business over another.

Every keynote combines global research with real-world commercial experience, giving audiences practical strategies they can apply immediately. Her goal isn’t simply to inspire people for an hour. It’s to challenge thinking, spark action and help organisations build trust, attract customers and create sustainable growth.

Beyond the stage, Katrina works with organisations through workshops, customer insight strategy and advisory services, helping leadership teams turn customer understanding into a genuine competitive advantage.

She’d love to help your audience, or your organisation, better understand the customers who matter most.

KATRINA’S LEADING KEYNOTE TOPIC

The Trust Deficit

How Today’s Customers Decide Who to Trust and Why It Drives Growth

Customer behaviour has changed. Most organisations have not caught up.

Today's customers no longer ask, Who is best? They ask, Do I trust this enough to choose it?

This is The Trust Deficit, the growing gap between how much organisations believe they are trusted and how much customers actually trust them. And it is quietly costing them conversion, loyalty and growth.

In this leading keynote Katrina introduces The Customer Trust Code, her original framework for how trust is built, lost and assessed across every generation, from Baby Boomers to Generation Alpha. Katrina’s current national primary research into customer trust in Australia is building on this framework to support this keynote with fresh, real-time data.

2. WORKSHOP — Turning insight into practical, organisation-specific strategies

3. IMPLEMENTATION — Driving momentum post event with bespoke programs, masterminds and resources

create something your audience will remember

Every event is different, which is why Katrina tailors every keynote, workshop and engagement to your audience, industry and objectives.
