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?

  • 125. The Unglamorous Truth About Reaching Your Biggest Goals

    125. The Unglamorous Truth About Reaching Your Biggest Goals
    Mar 25 2026
    What if the reason you haven't hit your biggest goal isn't a missing strategy — it's a missing belief? In this episode, Kimberly is getting honest about the mindset trap that keeps even the most talented professionals and entrepreneurs stuck: the constant search for a better plan. Spoiler: the plan isn't the problem. The reps are. Kimberly breaks down why success is far less glamorous than we've been conditioned to believe, and why the "missing link" most high achievers are searching for isn't a new tactic — it's the willingness to keep doing what already works, consistently, even when the results feel slow. This one is short, direct, and exactly what you need to hear today. What You'll Learn:
    • Why big goals don't require drastically different actions — and what actually separates those who reach them from those who don't
    • The mindset trap that causes high achievers to abandon the right strategy too early
    • Why "slow results" and "wrong strategy" are not the same thing
    • How to audit your consistency instead of auditioning new strategies
    • Why success is going to feel like a Tuesday — and why you should show up anyway

  • 124. Is Coaching Worth It? What High-Performing Leaders Know About Getting Results

    124. Is Coaching Worth It? What High-Performing Leaders Know About Getting Results
    Mar 18 2026

    If you've ever wondered whether coaching is actually worth the investment — this episode is your answer.

    In episode 124, Kimberly breaks down why the most high-performing senior managers, directors, VPs, and executives don't wait until something is broken to seek out coaching. Drawing from her own experience in coaching relationships since 2013, Kimberly makes the case that coaching isn't a rescue plan — it's a growth strategy.

    She walks through the three core ways coaching creates real transformation: breaking through skill-based roadblocks, shifting limiting mindsets, and getting tactical strategy tailored specifically to you. She also unpacks the difference between 1:1 and group coaching, and how to know which format is the right fit for where you are right now.

    But this episode goes beyond the why — Kimberly also gets into the how. Because investing in coaching is only half the equation. Getting your money's worth requires intention, honesty, and showing up ready to do the work.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • The three types of challenges coaching helps you overcome — skill gaps, mindset blocks, and tactical strategy

    • Why coaching is one of the most strategic career investments a senior leader can make

    • The key differences between 1:1 and group coaching — and how to choose what's right for you

    • Five ways to maximize your return on investment once you're in a coaching relationship

    • Why bringing your real self to coaching sessions is the thing most people skip — and why it matters most

  • 123. From Stuck to Clear: How a Vision Coach Helps High Achievers Find Their Next Chapter with Lois Weinblatt

    123. From Stuck to Clear: How a Vision Coach Helps High Achievers Find Their Next Chapter with Lois Weinblatt
    Mar 11 2026
    In this episode, Kimberly sits down with Lois Weinblatt — vision coach and founder of True North Visionaries — for a conversation that goes far beyond the trendy advice to "write down your goals." Lois breaks down the real work of visioning: what it actually takes to get clear on your next chapter when you're a high-achieving professional who's been grinding without a real direction, and why trying to do it alone is one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck. Lois has taken herself — and hundreds of clients — through a structured visioning process that starts not with the future, but with an honest look at the past. Her approach challenges the idea that visioning is fluffy or abstract. Instead, she treats a vision as your definition of success at a specific point in the future, and she walks clients through a 13-week process (or an intensive three-day immersive in Madrid) to get there. Whether you've never built a vision or you wrote one years ago and have no idea where it went, this conversation will shift how you think about clarity, direction, and what it means to truly move intentionally in your career and your life. In this episode, you'll learn: Why visioning is "important but not urgent" — and why that's exactly the reason most high achievers never do itThe difference between doing visioning alone versus doing it with a guide (and why the gap between those two experiences is massive)Why Lois starts the process by looking backward — and what happens when clients try to skip that stepHow to acknowledge past choices without over-explaining, justifying, or being talked out of your feelings about themWhat it means to "release the how" and why that's the hardest part for action-oriented professionalsThe "goalkeeper" concept — why some of your goals have gatekeepers outside your control, and why that matters for your visionHow to think about visioning like an accordion: expanding it to five years or contracting it to use right now, even in the middle of a hard season About Lois Weinblatt: Lois Weinblatt is a vision coach and the founder of True North Visionaries. She works with capable, motivated, self-aware professionals who are on the cusp of their next chapter and need help getting out of their heads and into clarity. Her structured visioning process helps clients move from swirling thoughts and competing options to a clear, grounded vision for their personal, professional, financial, relational, and spiritual lives.
