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. 📲 Want to connect?

    145: Highly Visible, Highly Booked: How to Find the Highest Converting Stages to Speak On (2/7)
    Oct 7 2026
    Speaking opportunities should be chosen based on what they can produce for your business. Kimberly Brown explains how to start with your revenue goal, identify who needs to be in the room, and decide whether a stage can lead to speaking fees, clients, or both. She looks at conferences, media, private communities, professional organizations, private companies, and events you create yourself. You'll also hear how she weighs audience fit, ticket price, and travel costs for some unpaid opportunities. What You'll Learn
    • How to choose stages based on the income you want speaking to bring in.
    • Why a packed room may still lack people who can buy your offer.
    • What different types of stages can offer your business.
    • How to weigh audience fit, travel costs, and the opportunity's potential before saying yes.
    Coaching Reflection Questions
    • What do I want speaking to produce for my business?
    • Who needs to be in the room for my offer to make sense?
    • Which types of stages put me in front of those people?
    • What is the most I can spend on an unpaid engagement and still make it worthwhile?

    Highly Visible, Highly Booked: Upgrade your stages, increase your leads, and grow your income (Episode 1 of 7)

    Over the next 7 episodes, I'm going to run a special series: Highly Visible, Highly Booked: Upgrade your stages, increase your leads, and grow your income. This series is specifically for coaches and consultants because your speaking strategy should be connected to the business you already have. It's also the kickoff to my upcoming launch of The Visibility Shift.

    A speaking engagement can keep bringing leads long after the event ends. Kimberly shares how a December 2023 event in Massachusetts continued to generate leads in 2026, then explains how coaches and consultants can decide what each stage should do for their business.

    What You'll Learn
    • Why every speaking engagement needs a clear business purpose.
    • How to use a room check to assess audience fit, offer fit, follow-up options, and the money math.
    • Why a large or impressive event may bring few leads if the audience isn't interested in your work.
    • How an opt-in and thoughtful follow-up can keep a conversation going after the talk.
    Coaching Reflection Questions
    • What job do you want your next speaking engagement to do?
    • Are the people in the room likely to need or refer your work?
    • What next step could you offer after your talk?
    • Does the fee or potential business justify your time?
