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?

    138. Building a Brand That Doesn't Need You: Career Contessa's Lauren McGoodwin on Speaking, Pivots, and Power Moves
    Jul 8 2026

    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

    Rejection is part of the deal when you put yourself out there — for a stage, a promotion, a client, or a new direction. In this episode, Kimberly breaks down what makes rejection different when you're the one being pitched, why it's rarely actually about you, and gives listeners a simple three-question tool to use the moment a no lands.

    In This Episode:

    • Kimberly shares her own experience of pitches that didn't land

    • The Rejection Reset for processing a no in real time

    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
