REGISTER FOR MY UPCOMING TRAINING: "Build Your Professional Brand Through Public Speaking" webinar on February 4, 2025: kimberlybonline.com/webinar
In this episode, Kimberly introduces the 5 Types of Speakers framework—a game-changing lens for identifying your natural speaking style instead of trying to copy someone else's. She shares a vulnerable story about feeling intimidated at a speaker event, seeing other speakers with detailed stage charts and technical prep, only to realize that her authentic, in-the-moment style was exactly what made her powerful on stage.
This framework isn't about putting you in a box—it's about giving you permission to stop comparing yourself to speakers who operate in a completely different lane. Kimberly shows you how to lean into YOUR strengths. Most powerful speakers are actually a blend of types, and understanding yours is the first step to building authentic visibility.
