not your typical educator.
From the cornfields of Iowa to the mountains of Alaska, Karli Johnson M.S.Ed travels the country (when there’s not a pandemic) educating on the topics teachers, parents, and bosses don’t (typically) like to talk about.
Whether it’s through classroom education, keynote speeches, business trainings, or one-on-one consulting, her unique approach emphasizes personal connection with her listeners through stories, humor, discussions, participation, and tangible skill-building.
Karli shares her personal tragedies and triumphs, as well as communication, sex education, and violence prevention education methods to thousands of students, from elementary school to college across the country (even during a pandemic).
consent queen.
Karli is teaching the world to ask for it! With over 10 years experience as a consent educator, her program and keynote focus is on consent education for all ages!
She has worked with state reps to get the Consent Education Law passed in Illinois. Now, they’re working together to get the law passed in other states.
Her podcast, “Ask For It” is reclaiming that victim-blaming phrase and teaching the world what we’re really asking for…
Consent. Respect. Help. Justice. Empathy. Equality.
Karli and her guests explore these topics in regards to consent, communication, and victim-blaming.
not your typical business owner.
As an award-winning business owner herself, based out of the Chicagoland region, Karli presents to businesses, non-profits, military groups, law enforcement, medical professionals, worldwide corporations, and local organizations worldwide.
From non-profits to fortune 500 companies, Karli’s business trainings coupled with communication and anti-violence consulting has impacted the lives of thousands of professionals across the globe.

“Speaking on subjects that are often difficult to broach, Karli is a dynamic, passionate, engaging speaker who is able to connect to audiences, from varying backgrounds, on a personal level.
Karli has an exceptional ability to not just talk to audiences, but to talk with audiences. She conveys her message through stories that people understand, and uses that shared experience to build dialogue.
In her discussions, Karli challenges her listeners to reflect on what they think and how they act, and encourages them to go out and have the conversations that we sometimes wish to avoid.
She has an impact on those who hear her speak, and should you have the opportunity, I would highly recommend that you listen.”
