In a culture of busyness, it can be hard to find time to get anything done. From working full-time jobs, to having side hustles and hobbies, getting all these things done can seem impossible.
We’ve all done it. Gone to a networking event and been at a loss for words. Either we find ourselves “star struck” or we’ve had to suppress feelings of inadequacy. Either way, we get in the room with all of these amazing people and our tongues get tied and our palms get sweaty. We forget our name, what we do and lose all ability to articulate. We leave and feel as if we wasted our time.

Welcome back to another Q&A episode with Kimberly Brown. Join us this week as Kimberly answer some of your most asked career questions.
In nearly every professional’s career, there is a time where you start to feel like you’ve plateaued and hit the proverbial glass ceiling. In my work as a career + leadership development coach, I see this frequently with high-achieving professionals who’ve been in their role for a minimum of 3 years. Instead of staring at the clock wishing it was 5pm, and it’s still saying 9:30am; it’s important that you take control and change the direction and narrative of your experience.
Finding your “purpose” is a question that every professional asks themselves throughout their career. It’s a question every human asks themselves throughout their life. There is an overwhelming amount of literature that can be found on the topic. However, few still realize that it is not about finding, but about understanding.
In this bonus episode, Kimberly answers your deepest career and leadership questions! Pulling commonly received questions from the audience, tune in as Kimberly shares her secret to a great interview, tips for negotiating a premium salary, a guide for stepping into a leadership role, and much more!
In this episode, Kimberly welcomes James Simpson, a high-performance coach known for not only pushing entrepreneurs to the next level but pushing them to levels of success they never thought possible!
A story she doesn’t often share, Kimberly reflects on her decision to become a full-time entrepreneur and her journey building a career in higher education, transitioning to corporate, developing her own business, and at times doing it all simultaneously!
Many of us are taught that you get a job and work your way up year after year, head down just grinding. So if you work really hard, someone will realize it and promote you. Right? Unfortunately, this is not what always happens. So how can you be sure you aren’t stuck in the same place professionally year after year?
With so many initiatives telling minority communities they’re not represented, not included, and not able to make a particular income, what if we could flip the narrative and say, “What if someone could give you the upper hand?”
Rejection can be hard to process. It is easy to attach our professional experience to the identity of who we are, so when we are rejected, it feels personal. But in this episode, Kimberly asks you to reframe your mindset. Rejection is merely redirection, and the alternate outcome might just be better than what you intended.
