NEXT MOVE, BEST MOVE:
A Strategic Approach to Lasting Career Decisions
The absence of a clear career strategy leaves individuals grappling with a significant gap between their current position and their desired trajectory, especially prevalent in the ambiguous realm of middle management known as the "magic middle". Individuals in this position experience a sense of being trapped and unsatisfied, compounded by a lack of acknowledgment as high-potential talent.
They feel stagnant and unproductive, stuck in a monotonous routine, and disengaged from their work. Their careers may show no signs of progress or advancement, leaving them feeling demotivated and uncertain about their future.
Whether you are content at your current level, seeking advancement or looking to try something completely new, the process to figure out what’s right for you can be daunting. In this actionable session, career expert and bestselling author of “Next Move, Best Move: Transitioning Into a Career You’ll Love”, Kimberly Brown will offer a framework to help you create a career strategy and determine what’s right for you short-and-long term.

FEAR MEANS GO:
Why Your Next Level Requires a Mindset Shift
Most people believe fear is a stop sign—something to avoid, a signal that we aren’t ready. But what if fear is actually the green light we’ve been waiting for? In this talk, Kimberly reframes fear as a necessary catalyst for growth, backed by research and her own journey. She’ll unpack why high-achieving professionals often misinterpret fear as failure rather than fuel. The key to career acceleration isn’t waiting until you feel ready—it’s acting before you do.
Through neuroscience, real-world leadership case studies, and Brown Leadership’s signature framework for professional transformation, Kimberly will show audiences how to rewire their responses to fear and make the mindset shifts necessary to step into leadership. Because at every level of success, fear doesn’t disappear—it just evolves. Those who know how to lean in and leverage fear strategically are the ones who break through.

FROM NERVOUS TO NOTICED:
How to Own the Room and Lead with Impact
Executive presence isn’t about being the loudest, the most charismatic, or the most extroverted—it’s about mastering the signals of authority, credibility, and influence. Yet most people think presence is something you either have or you don’t. It’s not. It’s a learnable skill.
In this keynote, Kimberly breaks down the science of presence and the hidden habits that make the difference between being ignored and being followed. She’ll share how women, in particular, are often conditioned to diminish their power—and what to do instead.
