125. The Unglamorous Truth About Reaching Your Biggest Goals
Your Next Move Podcast
What if the reason you haven't hit your biggest goal isn't a missing strategy — it's a missing belief? In this episode, Kimberly is getting honest about the mindset trap that keeps even the most talented professionals and entrepreneurs stuck: the constant search for a better plan. Spoiler: the plan isn't the problem. The reps are. Kimberly breaks down why success is far less glamorous than we've been conditioned to believe, and why the "missing link" most high achievers are searching for isn't a new tactic — it's the willingness to keep doing what already works, consistently, even when the...

121. The Win I Didn't Know I Needed: A Mindset Shift and the Permission to Celebrate Your Wins
Your Next Move Podcast
In this episode, Kimberly gets into her mindset behind her recent program launch— and the results exceeded every goal she set. But this episode isn't really about the numbers. It's about what the numbers revealed: a story Kimberly had been quietly carrying since 2018 that she never said out loud, not to her clients, not to her audience, barely even to herself. For years, she had internalized a belief that she could get results for others, but that building a group program and a community wasn't something she could pull off. This launch is what finally dismantled that story. Kimberly walks...

119. How I Built a Multi-Six-Figure Business By Learning to Speak: My Journey from Behind-the-Scenes to Center Stage
Your Next Move Podcast
In this deeply personal episode, Kimberly pulls back the curtain on her journey from a career counselor making under $50,000 a year to building a multi-six-figure business that's maintained that level for five consecutive years. The vehicle that made it all possible? Speaking.

But here's what makes this story different: Kimberly wasn't a "natural speaker." She didn't have a dramatic transformation story or...
info_outlineIn this deeply personal episode, Kimberly pulls back the curtain on her journey from a career counselor making under $50,000 a year to building a multi-six-figure business that's maintained that level for five consecutive years. The vehicle that made it all possible? Speaking. Not keynote speaking at first—but strategic visibility through professional associations, conferences, and leveraging every speaking opportunity to build relationships and open doors.
But here's what makes this story different: Kimberly wasn't a "natural speaker." She didn't have a dramatic transformation story or overcome massive tragedy. She was someone who loved working behind the scenes in higher education and corporate HR—until a promotion conversation that felt like a slap in the face changed her entire strategy.
In this episode, she shares the real progression: from her first terrified speaking engagement (with a coworker by her side for moral support) to commanding a multi-five-figure keynote fee, and why "teaching her behind off" on stage is exactly what grew her business even when coaches told her not to give so much away.
What You'll Learn in this Episode:
-
The promotion conversation that changed Kimberly's career strategy and why she realized good work alone wouldn't get her where she wanted to go
-
How speaking at professional associations led to salary bumps, job offers, and opportunities Kimberly never even applied for
-
The truth about speaking for free: when Kimberly still does it (rarely) and when it's worth it vs. when to command your fee
-
The salary progression that speaking made possible: $50k → just under $100k → $150k+ → multi-six-figure business owner
-
Kimberly's philosophy on pairing your expertise with what the audience needs (instead of just talking about what you want to talk about)
