Kim is so easy to work with….

Kim often hears from past clients how easy she was to work with. Perhaps it’s her Midwest values. But the bottom line: she is here to help ensure a home run for you. Kim will work with you to learn about your event, your goals and work to connect with your audiences both before and after an event.

Pre-Event
Most speakers will schedule a call with you prior to your event and customize their content. Kim does this and so much more…

Kim knows details are important… knows details are important…

As a former public relations executive who has planned many events over the years, she knows how the smallest of details can make or break your event. She cares about the details and will make sure she is responsive, professional and on top of things. She is here to alleviate headaches, not cause them and to make your job easier, not more difficult.

Kim will be ready for a pre-event call immediately upon booking to discuss logistics and will check in several times prior to your event.

Kim knows that no two audiences are the same. That’s why she creates highly customized content for you…

Kim doesn’t do cookie cutter programs. No two audiences are the same. She does her homework and research (she may as well put those researching skills that she learned as a lawyer to use). She hops on calls with you and your planning committee to talk about your goals and the results you want to see from her program. She learns your language. She talks to your people. She learns about your challenges and what your people need to hear. And then she incorporates those things into her highly customized program just for YOU.

Kim knows how important it is to create “buzz” for your event

Need more registrations? Want your registered attendees or employees to feel special? Kim will create a personalized pre-event promotional video to help create buzz for your event.

Want a blog post/newsletter article pre-event to help build excitement for your event? As an author and blogger, Kim will gladly write a blog post/newsletter article.

Need Kim to do media to help promote your event? She has decades of experience with local and national media and is happy to do remote interviews before, during and after the event.

Want Kim to help you create additional visibility on social media? As a communications strategist, Kim can effectively engage with your attendees before, during and after the event.

During the Event

Kim does more than just show up for her program, she becomes a part of your event…
When Kim is brought in as your speaker, she is there for the event to mix and mingle, get to know your people, take pictures and be a partner in the success of your event and ensure everyone has a great experience! Attendees LOVE being able to connect with Kim before and after they hear her speak.

Want Kim to do a book signing before or after your event? Just ask. (If you want to include books as a part of your event, Kim can create a great package for you.)

Do you have VIP’s? Top performers within your organization? How about a VIP reception for sponsors and donors? Kim wants to help you make them feel super special and is willing to attend a special meet and greet/reception for them if it works with her schedule.

Kim knows that different people learn differently and is a master at audience engagement…
As a communications strategist who holds a Certificate in Public Participation and has facilitated, led and spoken at hundreds of events, Kim understands that different people learn differently.
Communication styles, learning styles – what works for one person, may not work for others. That is why Kim weaves a variety of proven interaction tools and engagement strategies into all of her programs to relate and communicate with your entire audience.

After the Event

Kim knows that just because the event is over, doesn’t mean it’s over…

Kim’s goal is for attendees to take action long after they’ve heard her speak. She is happy to provide a quick video or article sharing the key takeaways from her program.

She always spends time with your audience after her presentation, having conversations, signing books, and answering questions. Kim prides herself on not only the clients feedback, but the audiences as well.

Contact Kim today to learn more about her customized keynotes and how she can help make you the rock star that you already are!
