HRWS Announces Katie Goodman as the 2024 Keynote Speaker

An award-winning comedian, author and international speaker, Goodman has quite literally written the book on using improv comedy to improve your life. With over 20 years of experience training and speaking, Goodman has taught over 30,000 people how to use the tools of improv comedy - touching on topics such as staying present, being flexible, and authenticity - to navigate the unknown and tackle the challenges in their lives.

 

“I cannot wait to engage the HRWS community at this year’s summit,” said Goodman. “In a world that combines top athletes - both human and horse - with wagering and premier events across the country, chaos is pretty much a guarantee. Harnessing the tools to navigate change and volatility with confidence will help members of the HRWS handle absolutely anything that comes their way!”

 

Her original comedy songs, writing and comedic performances have been seen on Showtime’s The Green Room, on Current TV as a pundit, and on TruTV in one of the most watched Impractical Jokers episodes ever. She is also the creator and headliner of “Broad Comedy,” an international touring satirical musical show that she and her husband Soren Kisiel write and direct.

 

Goodman will share her unique approach at the 3rd annual HRWS Summit which will feature programming at two locations in Arcadia, CA, this year: Santa Anita Park and the neighboring Le Meridien Pasadena Arcadia hotel.

 

“We’re really excited about the evolution of the format this year. We’ll have elements of the summit taking place onsite at Santa Anita and now a portion of the programming across the street at Le Meridien,” said Shona Rotondo, Chair of the HRWS Marketing & Communications Committee. “The event is blossoming into something that can offer attendees new opportunities for personal and professional development. If you’ve been to the HRWS before, expect something a little different this year in the best way.”
