About this listen

 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?

    110: How to Know You're Ready To Get Visible in Your Leadership Role
    Dec 10 2025
    Do you ever catch yourself thinking, "I'll finally start putting myself out there once I get one more certification… one more promotion… one more credential"? In this episode of Your Next Move, Kimberly Brown breaks down why that belief is one of the biggest visibility blockers for high-achieving professionals. If you've been waiting for the "perfect moment" to share your expertise, speak on panels, show up more boldly at work, or build your public platform—this episode reframes what readiness actually looks like. Spoiler: it's not about perfection. It's about clarity, intention, and the courage to step forward now. 🎧 Listen in for:
    • Why "I need one more credential" is really fear in disguise
    • The real indicators that you're already ready for visibility
    • Why frustration and feeling overlooked are actually signs of readiness
    • How clarity and consistency—not certifications—build your platform
    • The long-term career costs of waiting for permission
    • How visibility accelerates your leadership trajectory and opens new doors
