Karl Lillrud How speakers Do the ImpossibleKarl Lillrud is an entrepreneur and keynote speaker from Stockholm, Sweden. He inspires and educates on subjects related to Internet-based businesses. Being an entrepreneur for 21 years and growing with experience every day, Karl loves sharing his experience and the many tools and workarounds he developed to force forward in complex situations. He has delivered 2 TEDx talks and has written the book “Hacking Your Destiny.”

Karl’s TEDx talks

Karl has delivered 2 TEDx talks: How to do the impossible (TEDxKedgeBS, 2018) and Training Your Subconscious Mind for Entrepreneurial Success (TEDxPiotrkowskaStreet, 2019). One more is coming in 2020.

Hacking Your Destiny

The book started with complex questions Karl thought all the time. One day he wrote down all these questions. Then he realized he had the answers already. In the book he wrote a process for everybody to use, so you can convert the book’s questions into your own questions and find your answers.

How to become a better speaker

  1. Know your topic. That will make you confident, the audience will trust you and your energy will enthuse them.
  2. Don’t worry about anybody telling you’re wrong. That will almost never happen. Too many people are worried about it.
  3. Be yourself, don’t read from a script or teleprompter.
