26 Jul 2023EP93: How to Give & Receive Effective Feedback00:24:15

Feedback is one of the most crucial things you need to be able to give and receive in the workplace, and yet it is one of the biggest things people are afraid to do in the workplace! 

Fear not, because in this episode, Kimberly will be talking about the basic steps of effective feedback, the different ways to communicate your feedback, and the things to be mindful of before you decide to offer someone your feedback in the workplace. 

Believe it or not, giving and receiving feedback can be an incredibly positive and pleasant experience! Tune in to this episode to find out how to master the art of feedback today. 

 

KEY POINTS:

  • The 4 Basic Steps of Feedback: Ask, Explain, Share, Request
  • Why you need to provide both positive and negative feedback
  • Vertical and Lateral communication: their definitions, differences, benefits, and disadvantages
  • What you can do to improve your feedback & communication 
  • Questions to ask yourself before you provide feedback 
  • The importance of compassion when giving feedback 

 

QUOTABLES:

“Radical transparency helps bring everyone along the journey, even if the feedback you're sharing, if the new initiative that's happening, if there's some change in management – doesn't necessarily mean that everyone's reaction is going to be good, and that's okay. What's important is that people are in the know.”

“Sometimes, feedback needs to be communicated through several different channels. Not every piece of feedback has to be attributed to the person. It can be generalized feedback.”

When the going gets tough, we’ve all heard or said, “I can’t do another thing,” “I can’t show up in one more meeting," or “It’s all too much. I’m overcapacity”. But the question in this episode is, are you overcapacity or overwhelmed?

 

Tune in as Kimberly deciphers the difference between overcapacity and overwhelmed and asks you to evaluate which one is it? And learn when it’s time to be empowered, advocate for yourself, and put yourself in a position to execute at the highest level that is meaningful to you and does not impact your quality of work.

 

KEY POINTS:

- Do you work a 9 to 5? Or more like an 8 to 8?

- The difference between overwhelmed and overcapacity

- How overwhelmed can be fixed, 100%!

- Evaluate which one is it? And create solutions, not just problems

 

QUOTABLES:

01 Feb 2023EP69: Ambitious Women Are NOT the Problem with Stefanie O'Connell00:34:38

“The best advice I can give to ambitious women is to ignore most advice for ambitious women.”

 

Journalist, author, financial expert, and host of the Money Confidential podcast, Stefanie O’Connell, joins this episode to talk about unapologetically ambitious women going for what they want, no matter what else is happening in the world. And more broadly speaking, what it means to want to build wealth, lead, have power and a lot of ambition, and to do so as someone who isn't a straight white, heterosexual male.  

 

Because if women’s ambition isn’t the problem, what is?

 

KEY POINTS:

- Why “girl power” isn't working for women

- The best way to ask for more (at the right place!)

- How the pandemic brought inequities to the surface 

- “Women’s work” and the gender pay gap

- The burden of assumed gender roles 

 

QUOTABLES:

“The whole idea was we're gonna get to equality by empowering the next generation. Now, here we are. I'm in my mid-30s. I'm looking around, and the numbers of women in leadership, in political office, as CEOs, really has not changed since we were those Take Your Daughter to Work Day girls.”

“We've really reached the limits of what women can do differently. And it's time to start holding the organizations and culture and workplaces that penalize them no matter what they do accountable.”

06 Apr 2022EP41: Taking the Upper Hand - Technology and the Future of Work With Sherrell Dorsey00:24:31

With so many initiatives telling minority communities they're not represented, not included, and not able to make a particular income, what if we could flip the narrative and say, “What if someone could give you the upper hand?" 

 

Tune in as Sherrell Dorsey, founder and CEO of The Plug, gets the conversation started for families and communities traditionally not included in the dialogue around tech and the future of work. As the CEO of a distinctive black tech news and insight platform covering black pioneers in tech, venture capital, and work policy, Sherrell is changing the idea of who gets to be an innovator and genius and where these conversations exist. 

 

Don’t miss Sherrell’s tips for anyone interested in launching a company in tech and why it’s time for the black and brown community to take the upper hand.

 

KEY POINTS:

- Who is Sherrell Dorsey?

- What inspired “Upper Hand: The Future of Work for the Rest of Us”?

- Technology is truly about making creating efficiencies 

- How the pandemic positively and negatively affected the world of work 

- Why we need the “Upper Hand”

- Bridging the gap of the innovation language barrier

 

QUOTABLES:

“When I thought about what is my goal, I want people to feel like they are empowered to participate in the future of work. That they wouldn't be a victim of it.”

In this first episode, Kimberly goes through the 4 possible stages you could be in your career.

“From what I've learned, many times, we're not taught how to be strategic with our careers. We're taught to get a new job, do the job, and then figure out how to get another job. We've spent more time learning how to get a job than how to build strategy in the job that you have, and thinking about your career outside of that one job that you're holding.”

01 Mar 2023EP73: Should I Apply to a Job If I Don’t Meet All the Qualifications?00:13:35

Job descriptions are like a Christmas wish list, with the hiring manager itemizing every single skill, task, and experience they prefer a candidate to possess. So how can we show that we are qualified for a job when we don’t necessarily meet all of the expectations?

 

In this episode, adapted from a reader question Kimberly received on The Cut - New York Magazine, your host walks you through her interview prep tips so you can translate confidence into qualification in your next interview. 

To read more on @thecut go to: https://www.thecut.com/tags/your-next-move/

KEY POINTS:

- How are you presenting yourself in interviews?

- What is the gap between your current role and the one you desire?

- Share stories that convey your qualifications 

- Utilizing the STAR answer format

- “No one can sell you in the way that you can sell you!”

 

QUOTABLES:

“Interviewing is all storytelling. Every story you pick should align you to the job that you're applying for. So take some time to curate the success stories that showcase you winning.”

“You stating the facts about all that you accomplished is not egotistical or cocky. It's your job to make sure this hiring leader and the whole team understand the great work you've done. And you've got to be shameless about it.”

27 Mar 2025EP103: 5 Signs You Need A Work Break00:15:55

In today's episode, I explore something that affects so many of us but rarely gets the attention it deserves - knowing when it's time to take a break from work. While our always-on culture makes stepping away feel impossible, I'll share why taking a strategic break might be the most productive move for your long-term career success.

I guide you through five clear signs that indicate you need a work break - not just a vacation where you're checking email poolside, but a true, intentional step back to recharge and reset. I also provide actionable insights on what to do if you recognize these signs in yourself.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • Why needing a break isn't a sign of weakness or failure, but often a sign of self-awareness and leadership

  • How physical symptoms like insomnia, frequent headaches, constant fatigue, digestive issues, and getting sick more often can be your body's way of saying "enough"

  • What emotional exhaustion looks like - feeling empty, cynical, or detached - and why you can't think your way out of it

  • The irony of declining performance despite longer hours and what neuroscience tells us about why our brains require periods of rest

  • How disconnection from purpose and meaning in your work can signal burnout rather than a true misalignment

  • Why an inability to unplug - checking email during dinner, thinking about work in the shower, feeling anxious when trying to relax - indicates work has expanded beyond healthy boundaries

You'll also hear personal reflections about my own experiences with recognizing when it's time to pause in order to move forward stronger.

This episode empowers you to:

  • Recognize the warning signs before they lead to more serious consequences

  • Understand why your body and mind need genuine rest to function optimally

  • Take a strategic break without derailing your career trajectory

  • Remember that you are not your job - you're a whole person whose identity extends beyond your professional role

At the end of the episode, I introduce my comprehensive guide, "Taking a Work Break Without the Panic," which provides everything from understanding your legal rights and benefits to creating a communication strategy to planning your return to work after a break.

16 Aug 2023EP96: Transforming Learning Disability Into Workplace Capability with ADHD Coach Alexandra Gilbert00:33:22

In today’s episode, your host Kimberly is joined by Alexandra Gilbert, CEO of consulting and coaching business Cape-Able Consulting LLC, a consulting agency created to help people with ADHD or learning disabilities struggling in their careers to reach their highest potential in the workplace. 

Alexandra talks about the indicators of ADHD, navigating diagnoses and treatments for learning disabilities, whether or not to self-disclose your disability in the workplace, and best practices in the workplace to support individuals with learning disabilities. She also shares her ADHD and Dyslexia Diagnoses early on as a child and how those experiences have shifted and evolved as she moved into adulthood and into the workplace. 

Join in on this unique conversation with Kimberly & Alexandra and find out how you can create a thriving and equitable workplace for yourself and those around you. 

 

KEY POINTS:

- What are the indicators of ADHD? 

- Types of ADHD: Inattentive, Hyperactive, and Combined

- Alexandra’s Dyslexia & ADHD story 

- Should you self-disclose your learning disability in the workplace?

- Unmasking at home and in the workplace 

- Key identifiers of learning disability as an adult 

- How to effectively identify your strengths 

- Best principles vs best practices for ADHD in the workplace

 

QUOTABLES:

“I described how people with learning disabilities or ADHD — when they are looking at their jobs, the job should be challenging, not hard.” – Alexandra Gilbert

 

“Inattentive ADHD is someone who's a little spacey and looks like they're paying attention, but not mentally there. Someone who has hyperactive ADHD, in women, tends to be those who are very talkative, chatty, [or] social butterflies. And they're usually very high achieving women.” – Alexandra Gilbert 

 

“One of those things that makes it really hard for people with ADHD is they feel like they need to compare themselves to people who are neurotypical. They fundamentally think differently [and] work differently.” – Alexandra Gilbert

21 Jun 2023EP88: Nurturing Wellness: Manifesting Health Equity and Building Community with Percell Dugger00:31:53

In this episode, Kimberly is joined by special guest Percell Dugger to talk about all things wellness, health, and community. 

Percell is not only a NIKE running coach but also a wellness consultant and writer dedicated to fostering equitable health and culture within the community. Percell's expertise and passion shine through his various roles, making a profound impact on promoting inclusivity and well-being.

As a founder of both GOODWRK and Fit For Us, Percell has made significant impact on the wellness sphere that goes far beyond mere physical exercises and showcases transformations through "before and after" images. This places him among the most influential thinkers in his field, showcasing his extensive influence on diverse aspects of well-being. 

So tune in to this episode filled with personal experiences and advocacies of Percell Dugger, and be inspired to take a step forward to your wellness journey! 

KEY POINTS:

  • Macro health disparities that affect Black and Brown people

  • The importance of support, resources, access, and awareness 

  • SELFmagazine and its feature to creating a safe space for Black fitness professionals

  • Where do you struggle when it comes to your well-being?

  • How to deal with body image struggles

  • Fostering equitable health and culture within the community

QUOTABLES:

“I think care culture is really about this idea of wellness and fitness coaches say that for you to be happy, you have to have this product or look like this, right? It's almost it's the reason why people feel like they gotta get in shape before they go to the gym, right?” – Percell Dugger

“There's a lot of joy in my community. There's joy in people, and I want to celebrate that at every chance that I get. And I don't care too much about whether or not you weigh this amount or your genius fits like this. You can love yourself. And more importantly, loving yourself and loving others can have a far greater impact on society than having ‘great abs or nice biceps’ — nobody cares at the end of the day.” – Percell Dugger

17 Aug 2022EP57: Identity and confidence with Anna Stewart00:21:06

Putting yourself first can be hard, especially when you are so used to putting others' needs before your own. As women, we have a tendency to lean more towards doing this for the people in our lives which can lead to burnout, feeling unappreciated, and regrets. 

Anna Stewart was a teen parent who struggled with her identity and confidence for years. She found herself people-pleasing so much that she completely lost who she was in an attempt to be accepted and useful to others. Eventually, she reached a breaking point and realized she was just existing and not living. Anna took a journey inward to discover who she was and chose to start living for her. Now she coaches women on how to get clear and confident in their identity so that they can validate themselves and live in authenticity.

Join us this week as Kimberly and Anna get real about what it means to be a heart-centered woman, combat people pleasing, and define confidence.

When we think about diligence, we often think of perfection and never making mistakes. But diligence doesn’t mean perfection. It's not about not making mistakes, we are human that's bound to happen but it is about the actions to take when a mistake is made. Diligence is about being careful and persistent in your work or effort so that you don't leave anything to chance or let things slip through the cracks.

26 Feb 2025EP101: How to Be the Person Who Achieves Their Goals (The Be-Do-Have Model Explained)00:16:06

Welcome to Episode 101 of the Your Next Move Podcast! In today’s episode, I dive into a mindset framework that will help you transform the way you approach your goals. Whether you're facing a career shift, trying to improve your personal life, or pursuing new business goals, this episode will show you how flipping your mindset can lead to faster success with less stress.

I introduce the Be-Do-Have Model—a powerful tool for anyone looking to reach their goals. The key is understanding that to achieve anything, you must first BE the person who achieves it, then DO the necessary actions, and finally, you will HAVE the desired outcome. Too often, people approach it in reverse: waiting for the “have” before taking action.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Why most people get the Be-Do-Have model wrong, and how this keeps them stuck.

  • How fear and hesitation can prevent you from stepping into the ideal version of yourself.

  • The Courage Driven Mindset Framework—a new coaching method I use to help clients (and myself!) shift their mindset and take decisive action.

  • The 3 actionable steps to shift your mindset: Recognize, Reframe, and Respond.

  • Why consistency is key in applying the Be-Do-Have model to your life.

You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes peek into my personal growth journey and how I’m shifting my mindset in my own life.

Listen in and learn how to:

  • Move past the waiting game and start being the person who achieves their goals now.

  • Tackle fear and self-doubt to start taking bold actions instead of staying stuck in thinking mode.

  • Use the Courage Driven Mindset Framework to reframe challenges and respond with confidence.

At the end of the episode, I challenge you to apply the Be-Do-Have model to your goals. Take action today and see what shifts.

19 Jul 2023EP92: Corporate or Entrepreneurship? How This Multifaceted Hustler Does Both with Shalaya Shipman00:43:22

Corporate or Entrepreneur? We’ve all asked ourselves this question at some point in our lives, but have we ever considered that it was possible to do both and to do them well? 

In this episode, your host Kimberly speaks with Shalaya Shipman, a multi-faceted hustler who leads multicultural marketing efforts for Black and Latinx CEOs through Salesforce technology, while also running a successful real estate business. 

Tune in as Shalaya shares her journey of becoming her family’s first college graduate with a Rhetoric degree, and eventually exploring the technological space after her traditional corporate life experience, all the while building a successful career in real estate. How did she do it all, and how did she not only adapt but thrive in these seemingly contrasting environments? Join in on the conversation and uncover Shalaya's insights on making such pivots, and how she structures her multifaceted career by leading with intention and purpose!

 

KEY POINTS:

  • How the art of persuasive speech helped Shalaya create her own unique roles 
  • The importance of adaptability in your career and/or business 
  • Biggest pivots & lessons learned from the recession and COVID-19 pandemic 
  • Entrepreneurship vs intrapreneurship and how Shalaya did both 
  • Why systems and accountability are vital for sustainable success 
  • What is Shalaya’s next move? 

 

QUOTABLES:

“Technology has been an incredible vehicle for us to just show up in a new version of ourselves a new version for companies, we also have a responsibility as people and as companies to do the right thing. We can do that while still ensuring that we're driving the business forward.” – Shalaya Shipman 

 

“I teach my professionals that we really need to think two years at a time. What can I do? What is my two-year plan? What skill am I getting? What environment do I want to be in? What do I want my next move to look like?” – Kimberly Brown

 

“It really starts with loving the work that you're doing and having the accountability systems in place to help you be the most efficient with your time.” – Shalaya Shipman

29 Jun 2022EP50: How to Network at Events and Follow Up00:15:03

We’ve all done it. Gone to a networking event and been at a loss for words. Either we find ourselves “star struck” or we’ve had to suppress feelings of inadequacy. Either way, we get in the room with all of these amazing people and our tongues get tied and our palms get sweaty. We forget our name, what we do and lose all ability to articulate. We leave and feel as if we wasted our time.

Networking is crucial to your success in any part of your career and personal development. And although networking events can be intimidating, you don’t have to walk away feeling like you lost or missed something. 

Join us this week as Kimberly shares the five steps so that when you’re at your next event you can shoot your shot and walk away having accomplished your goals!
