Keynote Topics:
The Power of Hope
Hope is present in all situations. It may not look the way we want it to, but it’s still there and ours for the taking.
This healing presentation helps people find hope in the midst of the deepest despair.
“True human connection is found in the darkest sorrows, and the brightest rainbows are revealed on the other side,” says Caroline, and her riveting personal journey proves her point.
“Healing oneself is impossible if we don’t have hope,” she adds. Because without it, what the hell is the point?”
Surviving Cancer
Caroline Rose has survived against all the odds. She has lived the fear of the diagnosis and understands the emotional impact cancer has on the lives of both the patient and the caregiver.
The audience will leave with specific tips and strategies for dealing with the impact of the diagnosis, tried and true methods to deal with the side-effects of the treatments, tips for caregivers, and suggestions for entering life after cancer.
Life After Cancer
Beating cancer is only half the battle. Life after cancer can be just as scary and lonely as the treatment itself.
Caroline can relate to this challenging state in a survivor’s life and offers encouragement and hope to those who need it the most.
Parenting through Difficult Times
We all want to be our best selves for our children, but at the same time, we have our personal struggles.
How do we parent through the difficulties life brings our way?
Caroline offers up wisdom and hard-earned life lessons for helping ourselves so that we can show up for others.
Finding True Human Connection in Struggle

Through the courageous telling of her story, Caroline invites her audience to consider their own struggles as an opportunity for connection and reveals how we, as a group, can better come together to lift each other up from the darkness and into the light.
Persevering through Life’s Challenges
Are you overwhelmed by the challenges and obstacles you’re facing? Caroline Rose understands all too well how tempting it can be to give up when life’s burdens feel too heavy to carry.
This three-time cancer survivor recounts one moment in particular when she told the nurse to take all the medications away because she was done and ready to leave this earth.
And yet, somehow she found the inner strength to hang on through endless pain and suffering.
Caroline’s brave retelling of her personal experience will motivate and inspire your audience as they relate to the sometimes seemingly impossible challenges we must face and overcome.

Talent FAQ's
Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?
Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
Does the scale of the event and audience size affect a speaker’s fee?
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand.
