When Will the Curtain Go Up?

Have you ever felt like something was off in your career but weren't sure what to do about it? This week, I'm joined by Kristin Adkins, Founder and Strategist at Crash Design Co., who made a bold career pivot when she realized she wasn't where she was meant to be. Now, she helps professional speakers create powerful, authentic websites that get them on more stages and amplify their impact. In this episode, we dive into: ✨ The moment Kristin knew she needed a change—and how she found the confidence to make it

In this episode, I sit down with Kimberly Dahlem, an innovative leader with over 29 years of experience in stakeholder engagement, leadership development, and change management. We explore pivotal moments in life and work, the power of staying true to your own voice, and how embracing change can lead to meaningful growth. Join us for an insightful conversation on leadership, resilience, and the impact of authentic self-expression. Find Kimberly on Linked In  Kimberly Dahlem | LinkedIn Feel free to share and subscribe!
