REGISTER FOR MY UPCOMING TRAINING: "Build Your Professional Brand Through Public Speaking" webinar on February 4, 2025: kimberlybonline.com/webinar
In this episode, Kimberly introduces the 5 Types of Speakers framework—a game-changing lens for identifying your natural speaking style instead of trying to copy someone else's. She shares a vulnerable story about feeling intimidated at a speaker event, seeing other speakers with detailed stage charts and technical prep, only to realize that her authentic, in-the-moment style was exactly what made her powerful on stage.
This framework isn't about putting you in a box—it's about giving you permission to stop comparing yourself to speakers who operate in a completely different lane. Kimberly shows you how to lean into YOUR strengths. Most powerful speakers are actually a blend of types, and understanding yours is the first step to building authentic visibility.
What You'll Learn in this Episode:
The 5 Types of Speakers: Motivational, Thought Leader, Entertainer, Subject Matter Expert, and Educator—and how to identify which one(s) you are
Why the "Educator" type is the most accessible path for professionals who don't think they have a dramatic story or specialized credentials
Why most powerful speakers are actually a blend of 2 types—and how your type can evolve over time
