Culture of One: Building a Life Authentically Yours

Women’s leadership conferences · University alumni events · Entrepreneurship summits · Healthcare & research organizations · Professional women’s networks

We spend so much of our lives building toward what others expect — the right career, the right timeline, the right version of ourselves. But the most courageous thing any of us can do is become fully, unapologetically ourselves.

Being a Culture of One isn’t about going it alone — it’s about showing up as yourself, so that everything you build, every team you join, every relationship you invest in, is grounded in something real.

Simply Persist: The Small Steps That Create Big Lives

Ideal for: Women's leadership events, alumni audiences & professional associations

A talk about what persistence actually looks like in practice — not dramatic leaps, but the accumulation of small, deliberate steps taken over years. Honest, grounded, and deeply personal.

Patents at 60: What Late Bloomers Know That Early Starters Don't

Ideal for: Entrepreneur conferences, innovation summits & university alumni events

The conventional wisdom says start young, move fast, and fail forward. But some of the most durable innovations — and lives — are built slowly, by people who took their time. This talk reframes the timeline entirely.

The Second Act Advantage

Ideal for: Healthcare organizations, midlife reinvention events & entrepreneurship stages

Experience isn’t a consolation prize. It’s a competitive advantage. This talk is for anyone who has wondered whether it’s too late — and needs to hear, clearly and with proof, that it isn’t.

The Persistence Payoff: Lessons from People Who Refused to Quit

Ideal for: Conferences, annual meetings & leadership development programs

Drawing on interviews from The Persistence Payoff Show, Kimberly shares the patterns she’s found in people who keep going when everything says stop — and what those lessons mean for your audience.
