Her rich career includes work as a professional actress; designing and leading cross-cultural workshops throughout Japan; "Customer Experience Programs" in the US, UK, France, Germany, and Hong Kong; and employee engagement/leadership development workshops for a multitude of Fortune 500's throughout the US.

She is also privileged to teach for the Bush Institute's WE Lead Program (empowering female leaders from the Middle East).

Kimberly's book, Brave Leadership: Unleash Your Most Confident, Authentic, and Powerful Self to Get the Results You Need is the 2019 winner of the Benjamin Franklin Silver Award for Business and Career; an Amazon Bestseller in Business Leadership, Business Motivation and Self-Improvement, and Motivational Business Management; and was named as the number one book to read in Inc. Magazine's "The 12 Most Impactful Books to Read in 2018," with a cover-endorsement by best-selling author Daniel Pink.

Still a small-town girl at heart, Kimberly has crafted a life for herself, with her husband and son (and feisty cat, Sulley Magee) in the gorgeous hill country surrounding Austin, TX, where she fights every day to bring her best, most authentic and powerful self – what she calls brave – to every situation she faces. Sometimes she succeeds, sometimes she doesn't. But she's committed to the fight.
