    Your Next Move Podcast

    You’ve led million-dollar projects, delivered results that speak for themselves, and built a reputation for excellence, only to watch someone else get chosen for the opportunity you deserved. Not because you weren’t ready, but because your name didn’t come to mind first.

    Welcome to Your Next Move, the podcast for high-performing professionals in leadership who are ready to elevate their visibility, build a powerful personal brand and position themselves for opportunities that accelerate their path to industry-wide recognition or higher level roles.

    I’m Kimberly Brown, a globally recognized career and leadership expert, keynote speaker, and bestselling author of Next Move, Best Move. I’ve coached hundreds of mid- to executive-level professionals working in Fortune 500 companies to grow their visibility, influence, and leadership presence, without leaving their jobs.

    Here’s what I’ve learned: being great at your job isn’t enough. If people don’t know who you are, the value only you can offer, or the impact you’re here to make, you’ll keep executing someone else’s vision.

    Each episode delivers practical visibility strategies, powerful mindset shifts, and the leadership tools you need to build a speaker brand that positions you for your next big move, whether that’s speaking on national stages, landing your next promotion, or becoming a recognized voice in your industry.

    You’ll learn how to elevate your visibility without “doing the most”, speak with authority without fear of being seen as self-promotional and become known as a thought leader inside (and outside) your current company.

    If you’re wondering:

    How do I position myself as a thought leader at work?
    Why am I being overlooked for promotions when I’m good at my job?
    How do I build a leadership brand?
    Can I stay in my current company and grow my career?
    How do I make people remember my name in the right rooms?

    …you’re in the right place.

    Tune in for expert advice, behind-the-scenes coaching, and my signature no-fluff perspective on what it really takes to accelerate your leadership trajectory and step into the rooms where real decisions are made.

    🎧 Follow Your Next Move wherever you listen to podcasts, and start building a career that gets you seen, heard, and recognized for what you do best.

    143. Leadership Isn't Complicated. It's Hard. with Julia Rock Sep 23, 2026
    Show notes

    Leadership often gets dressed up as titles, retreats, assessments, and perks. But Julia Rock, author of Uncomplicated Leadership, argues that the real work happens in how you show up for the people you lead. In this conversation, Julia and I talk about why relationships matter, why leadership training can fall flat without follow-through, and what managers need to understand about the people on their teams. We also get into the rise of corporate creators and the risks employees should consider before building a public brand while working a 9-to-5.

    In this episode:

    • Why leadership is hard even when the principles are simple
    • Julia's 5 C's of uncomplicated leadership: clarity, consistency, connection, courage, and celebration
    • Why leaders need to know what their employees actually want from their careers
    • What corporate creators should understand before building a public platform while employed

    Show notes

    Kimberly recently audited every personal and professional development purchase she's made since 2013, digging through three old email accounts and her Google Drive folders. The total came to over $250,000.

    In this unscripted solo episode, she shares what that audit revealed about why she still feels stuck, the four-part process she's using to close the gap between where she is and where she wants to be, and the Steve Harvey exercise that has her writing down 300 things she wants from God.

    In This Episode:

    • Why Kimberly took an unplanned break this summer and what she was sitting with
    • What investing over $250,000 since 2013 taught her about her actual problem
    • The 4-Step Manifestation Process she's uncovered
    • The Steve Harvey exercise rooted in James 4:2 and where Kimberly landed on her list of 300 (watch the video here: https://youtu.be/DlMAIYd7-J4?si=4uwv3ha4K5LqRf42

    140. How I've Managed Grief and Entrepreneurship (One Year Without My Mom) Jul 29, 2026
    Show notes

    A quick heads-up: this episode discusses grief and the loss of a parent.

    This week marks one year since Kimberly lost her mom, and in this deeply personal solo episode, she opens up about what it's actually taken to grieve and run a business at the same time. Kimberly shares the eight things that have helped her keep showing up over the past year — from reducing her schedule to therapy, asking her doctor for help, and learning that reduced capacity is still capacity. For anyone in the "sandwich generation" caring for aging parents, anyone grieving right now, or anyone who's ever wondered how you're supposed to keep working when your heart is heavy, this one meets you where you are.

    In This Episode:

    • Why "time off" hits differently as an entrepreneur — and Kimberly's honest take on being "fake offline"
    • Reducing her schedule down to two client-facing days and protecting space to simply feel
    • Leaning on weekly and biweekly therapy as an unfiltered sounding board
    • Talking to her doctor and why she believes there's no shame in getting help ("you don't have to raw dog your grief")
    • Apologizing to friends, telling people where she really is, and letting them show up for her
    • Giving herself permission to rest and "rot" without guilt
    • Drawing on "mom energy" from the women and community around her
    • Understanding that every emotion is normal — and journaling to get to the root instead of the surface
    • Her bonus lesson: make things easier on yourself, and don't always trust your feelings when you're grieving, because your feeling isn't always the fact

    139. Fear Means Go: Why I've Been Hiding (and What I'm Doing About It) Jul 15, 2026
    Show notes

    It's Kimberly's birthday — and she's celebrating with her most personal episode yet. In this solo conversation, recorded with handwritten notes and a whole lot of nerves, Kimberly opens up about the dissonance she's been feeling between the vision she has for her life and how she's actually been showing up. From playing small in her corporate days to realizing she's built a "penitentiary" of perfectionism as an entrepreneur, she gets honest about the fear, people-pleasing, and perfectionism that have kept her hiding. As she turns 39 — on Episode 139, no less — Kimberly declares this her year of facing her fears out loud, and she's inviting listeners along for the journey through her brand-new Substack, Fear Means Go.

    In This Episode:

    • The elevator moment at her corporate job that revealed how long she'd been playing small
    • Why perfectionism, people-pleasing, and fear of judgment have kept her hiding — even as her own boss
    • The quote that stopped her in her tracks: structure precedes success
    • The journal exercise that revealed she was the box standing between herself and her goals
    • Why she's launching a Substack and returning to her 2011 blogging roots
    • A first look at book number two, tentatively titled Fear Means Go, and why fear is at the heart of great leadership

    138. Building a Brand That Doesn't Need You: Career Contessa's Lauren McGoodwin on Speaking, Pivots, and Power Moves Jul 08, 2026
    Show notes

    LAST CHANCE TO ENROLL ON THE VISIBILITY SHIFT THIS SUMMER: WWW.KIMBERLYBONLINE.COM/TVS

    What do you do when the business is successful, but you're ready for something new? In this episode, Kimberly sits down with Lauren McGoodwin — founder and CEO of Career Contessa, author of Power Moves, and content marketer at Atlassian — to talk about her decision to return to corporate after a decade of entrepreneurship without shutting her business down. Lauren gets refreshingly honest about what it actually takes to juggle a full-time job, a media brand, and three kids under five (spoiler: it's money and a village, not a morning routine). She also breaks down how public speaking took Career Contessa from a blog to a nationally recognized brand — starting with free intern workshops, landing a book deal, and eventually speaking at TEDWomen — and why companies wouldn't pay for her tactical workshops but happily paid for her keynotes.

    In This Episode:

    • The evolution of audience-building from the blog and RSS era to today's personal-brand-first landscape — and what Lauren would do differently if she started over
    • The three phases of Lauren's speaking career: free workshops, the book that changed everything, and paid keynotes at companies like Google and Amazon
    • Why tactical career workshops are a hard sell to corporate buyers — and what shift finally got her paid
    • Workshop speakers vs. keynote speakers: how Lauren worked with a coach to stretch beyond her "give them three exact steps" comfort zone
    • The sting of turning down speaking opportunities during pregnancy, and why Lauren keeps her basket full of more than just work
    • Where to find Lauren: connect with her on LinkedIn, where she shares career advice from her own corporate diaries and the Career Contessa podcast

    Kimberly Brown sits down with Jasmine Garrett — Account Director at Adobe, President of the National Sales Network South Florida chapter, and rising professional speaker — for a candid conversation recorded live inside The Visibility Shift coaching community. Jasmine shares what it's really like to build a speaking career from the inside out: starting with internal company panels, learning to bet on herself, and beginning to figure out when and how to charge for her expertise. This one is for every professional trying to grow their visibility without blowing up their career in the process.

    We're going deep on:

    • How Jasmine's speaking journey started — from being tapped to represent Salesforce on a virtual panel to realizing she had a monetizable skill
    • The moment she knew she needed to start charging (hint: it involved a multi-day workshop request that stopped her in her tracks)
    • How she decides which speaking engagements to pitch for and which ones to accept — and why purpose and ROI drive the decision
    • The nuances of co-branding and protecting your platform when you're employed at a large company
    • How she builds her talks — from research and storytelling to branded leave-behinds that protect her intellectual property
    • Her rehearsal process and why she swears by bullet-point talk tracks over full scripts

    • Kimberly opens up about her own speaking fee journey — and why she's still working up to the number Elle keeps pushing her toward
