I found today’s guest in a most unusual place! It was on TikTok that I first noticed her work with gifted and twice-exceptional people, and I knew I had to get her on the show. Dr. Kimberly Douglass is president and CEO of Remote Learning Solutions. She coaches neurodivergent PhDs/EdDs on the personal, social, and technical aspects of career and entrepreneurship. In addition to moving clients from deficit-based to strengths-based thinking, she helps PhDs/EdDs develop content across a range of subjects. She helps clients deliver content in the form of ebooks, online courses, workbooks, journals, workshops, and more. Dr. Douglass bases her coaching practice on five values: empathy, justice, love, neurodiversity, and purpose. She worked in higher education for over 17 years in various roles and earned a PhD in political science in 2009 and tenured in Information Sciences in 2016 at the University of Tennessee Knoxville. Her teaching and scholarship have developed at the intersection of information science and political behavior. Show Highlights: Why Kimberly is intensely passionate about coaching and mentoring neurodivergent adults How the same issues in our schools with kids are showing up for adults in the workplace Why people are taught to believe in a fake meritocracy How giftedness means different things for different people How Kimberly’s personal brand of intensity is thinking about things in different ways, deep thoughts and issues that can turn into depression, and loving information and data Growing up, Kimberly felt her intensity through acting goofy and humorous and always being presentable to white culture The distinction between management and leadership Cultural factors that affected Kimberly as she grew up in a black Baptist church, being told that she “shouldn’t speak up for herself,” and seeing Christianity as a tool of enslavement How Kimberly had to tune herself out and tone herself down when she worked at a university with mean, accusatory people Why she feels her intensity getting out of control when she feels dismissed or undervalued What made Kimberly take a different look at herself and her son regarding giftedness How she uses her fire for good in believing people Habits that help Kimberly harness the power of her intensity are tools that organize her thoughts and life How she helps others use their fire for good by trying to be neutral and helping people look for affirmation, values, principles, mission, and goals Kimberly’s advice: “Take the risk. Find someone who will help you take the risk. Realize that not moving and standing still is also risky; it’s just risky in a different way.” Resources: Website:  Dr. Kimberly Douglass  Facebook: Kimberly Douglass TikTok: Dr. Kimberly Douglass

This week, I’m chatting with another highly ambitious woman who is part of the Ascend mastermind community, Kimberly Kindig. Kimberly is the CEO of Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation of Nevada. A Las Vegas native, she’s worked in nonprofits for most of her career and is passionate about building and strengthening our community. But like many of us, Kimberly felt a bit out of alignment with her work and her life, and she knew she needed to move out of her comfort zone and take action towards creating change - both personally and professionally. In this interview Kimberly will share the remarkable transitions and transformations she experienced once she became crystal clear on her values and goals. From creating simple habits that improved her wellbeing to beefing up her confidence muscle so she could take a risk, she has definitely “ascended”. If you’re having difficulty figuring out how to get “unstuck” in your career or your life, and perhaps unclear about what you may even want, this conversation is for YOU. REMINDER!! My Ascend Mastermind’s current cohort is open for the next three weeks and starts in November.

Kimberly Ponniah didn’t take the typical route into the fashion world. Yet through grit and perseverance, she went from knowing almost nothing about the industry to running a successful fashion design business. She now works full-time designing her own line of accessories, Wild June. Through years of experience, Kimberly learned how to use festival vending and more to grow a fashion brand from the ground up. From the euphoria of a successful launch to hating her business, she has been through highs and lows. Now, she’s sharing what she learned with you.   In the interview (which you’ll love), we will cover: How Kimberly got started in her fashion design career What she did to make her first-ever festival a success What it’s like working with factories as an unknown designer How Kimberly dealt with a factory that couldn’t deliver on its promises Kimberly’s sink-or-swim moment--and how she managed to make the most of a product disaster! How she used exposure at festivals to build her customer base How Kimberly funded the early years of her fashion design business without burning out What she learned from her experiences with trade shows, wholesaling, and working with a showroom--and what she wishes she had done differently How Kimberly missed out on her dream account--Twice!! How WildJune has evolved to earn 5X the income The most valuable resources Kimberly relied on as a new fashion designer And more!   FROM BUSINESS SCHOOL TO THE BUSINESS OF FASHION Kimberly didn’t grow up dreaming of a career in fashion design. In college, she studied business. But she never quite fit in. After she graduated, she realized she’d chosen the wrong major. When she started traveling and fell in love with India, she knew she wanted to build a career that would let her spend more time there. In 2011, after a lot of research and some fateful advice from a business advisor, Kimberly decided to start her own line of belt bags. Since she didn’t have any background in fashion, she knew she would need help. She started with an ad on Craigslist for a technical designer. That’s how she met Liz, who became an invaluable advisor and friend. Liz helped Kimberly learn the ropes and plan for the ups and downs of starting out as a new fashion designer. Together they finalized Kimberly’s designs and put her very first sample run into production. Kimberly quit her job and let go of her apartment before she even received the first shipment of her new accessories. The day she received her products, she barely looked at them before putting the box in her car and driving ten hours to set up as a vendor outside Burning Man. She wasn’t even sure she’d be accepted as a vendor! Kimberly’s courage paid off. She was allowed to sell at the bazaar, and that first festival was a huge success. Kimberly sold almost everything she had brought. But getting started in the fashion design business isn’t always smooth sailing.   FACTORY FAIL     Kimberly happily returned to India, and spent six months there looking for factories to put her line into production. Finding factories as an unknown fashion designer was hard work, and she had to figure things out as she went. It didn’t get easier after choosing a factory. Her first production run was delayed by months. And when it came, things got worse. Kimberly had put down $7,000–a huge amount to her, yet only a third of the factory’s minimum order. And instead of the beautiful belt bags she’d been waiting for, she found herself neck deep in merchandise that was literally falling apart. She could have let that setback derail her. Instead, she set out to get those belts sold. Not only did she do it, but in the process she even grew her brand’s reputation and following. “I was in it for the long haul,” she remembers. It was her sink-or-swim moment, and she asked herself, “Am I gonna sink, or am I gonna swim? I’m a swimmer. I’m gonna swim through this.”     LEARNING THE HARD (AND HARDER) WAY At that time, Kimberly was working all kinds of “mindless” jobs in order to support her budding fashion business. She was physically exhausted, but she kept her mind on her business goals. Part of that was making her first visit to the MAGIC fashion trade show in Las Vegas. There she met Roger, the owner of a factory in Indonesia. He could produce her designs at a much better quality—with no minimums. This was a major turning point for her fashion design business. Now she had products that matched quality she wanted to be known for. Although she had found a great niche market, Kimberly wanted to grow her business and branch out from the festival scene. She’d been vending at 13 festivals a year and was ready for a change. So, she brought her new designs to another trade show in New York. That show was another big success. Not only did she write a ton of orders, but she was also noticed by wholesale giant ShopBop. Wholesale was a different animal. Although her belts sold well, Kimberly had to adjust how she did things. There were intense shipping requirements and major price point differences. She learned a lot about designing fashion accessories for production, but she also felt that it took a toll on her business. When she realized wholesale wasn’t the right path at the time, Kimberly decided to work with a showroom. She got in touch with several and was excited to be accepted by her first choice. It was a big monthly expense at a time she didn’t even have her own apartment, but she believed it would be worth it. Then she found out there was an even bigger catch: the showroom wanted Kimberly to completely rebrand her business. And they only gave her a month and a half to do it. As part of her contract, the showroom asked Kimberly to add multiple new designs, new types of accessories she had never made before, create a catalog, and design multiple seasonal collections. But the biggest change was renaming her company. Up to that point, she’d been selling her belt bags under the name Bohemian Hips, but the showroom told her that the name limited her accessories’ market. So she reluctantly--and expensively--rebranded her entire company under the name Wild June. When all was said and done she had invested thousands in the process. Unfortunately, the sales from the showroom were nowhere near what she had hoped. Although she learned a ton about price points, customer needs, and making herself more marketable, Kimberly quickly realized that the showroom wasn’t the right fit for her fashion accessory business. She moved on, but it took time for her to fall back in love with her business.   LOOKING FORWARD Kimberly persevered through all of the setbacks she experienced as a new fashion designer. She had started her journey prepared for years of hard work and no profits, and she made it through. Now, she runs her business full-time--and finally has her own place again! She found a balance with the festivals she attends as a vendor, and has time to be an artist. Looking to the future of Wild June, Kimberly’s thinking about trying wholesale again, and even launching a clothing line. Kimberly is an example of what’s possible for new fashion designers who are prepared, determined, and willing to work hard to make their dream a reality. We can’t wait to see what she does next!   Resources & People Mentioned Wild June Wild June on Instagram Liz at Niche Design + Import Enjoy the show?

Kimberly Dippel was on the Successful Fashion Design podcast in August 2017, and we talked about her success finding freelance projects on Upwork. Since then, she’s come such a long way! In this episode of the podcast, we’re doing our first (!) follow-up with a past guest. Kimberly has slayed the freelance game this last year and a half, and you’re going to love this recap of how she’s made it happen for herself. Kimberly Dippel is a fashion designer with 13 years of experience working for surf brands like Oneil and Quiksilver. After having a baby and moving away from a hub, she wanted to try freelancing. After not having any luck with her existing contacts, she turned to UpWork where she successfully landed a few ongoing clients that kept her consistently busy. But she’s way past her Upwork days! In the interview, Kim shares how she transitioned from piecing together small Upwork clients to the four clients she works with now full-time. In the interview (which you'll love) we will cover: How Kimberly moved from her Upwork hustle to her four steady clients How she goes about pricing, structuring projects, and getting the wages she (and you!) deserves What she learned after experimenting with charging less in order to build out her freelance fashion design portfolio How she keeps track of her time (it’s a free app linked below! No more annoying spreadsheets) Her advice on managing and controlling projects these days (communication is key!) What she’s learned about charging a flat rate (hint: briefs, briefs, briefs!) Where her clients are coming from now (and where you can look to get ideas for yourself!)   WHERE SHE WAS In Episode 16, Kimberly was combing Upwork to get freelance fashion design jobs, and figuring out how to charge what she was worth. She had to comb through a lot of junk and low-paying gigs, but was able to find a few clients that she worked with consistently, and slowly built up her freelance fashion design portfolio. Now, she still has one of her same Upwork clients, plus four more steady clients that keep her busy full-time! Kimberly has made such amazing progress in her fashion career since we last spoke that we had to catch up with her--and boy, did she learn some lessons along the way. Kimberly tells us about one project that she took on to focus on building out her freelance portfolio, where she learned some important lessons about valuing herself and her work. It was her first really big job (30 full tech packs and design!), and she was getting ripped off. But she doesn’t regret the lessons she learned from that: freelance is a different animal--one that comes with growing pains and zero step-by-step instructions. She (and everyone!) is always learning how to grapple with the learning curve gracefully. THESE DAYS Kimberly has some awesome advice for people getting into the freelance game. In the interview, she tells us how she charges clients, how she manages and controls projects, and how she keeps clients in the loop every step of the way in order to avoid surprises (for everyone). She even tells us where her clients are coming from now--which might be a surprise! Her website and LinkedIn are linked below--go see how she’s presenting herself on the platforms, and see how it compares to what you might be doing… Kimberly is full of good advice for freelancers because she did it herself from scratch. She went from putting together Upwork jobs to actually not having much time to take on new clients--in a year and a half! Tune in to hear all of her advice and get inspired. And go check out episode 16 to hear the beginning of her adventure into freelance!

 For a lot of agents, getting reviews and referrals is a challenge because they don’t know how to go about it. What are the things you need to do to ensure that people willingly and happily give you a review? What is a “mini-flip” and why is it a powerful way to generate leads? Is there an expiration date for asking someone for a review or a referral? On this episode, husband-and-wife duo Kimberly Sethavanish and James Colucci talk about their success with reviews and mini-flips.   If you make the process that much easier or enjoyable for them, they’ll write a review. -Kimberly Sethavanish   Resources- InfusionSoft for real estate.

Follow Greg for more motivational content to take your real estate business to the next level Takeaways + Tactics Simple fixes like light fixtures, paint, and opening up the layout can transform the whole house and raise its value. It's okay to ask for a review 6-12 months after the transaction. People get busy, and giving them time also allows them to forget the annoyances that might have come up in the process. They are more likely to remember you helping them into their dream home. Nothing makes someone want to give you a raving view like you going through the trenches with them.   Plant the seeds of the review beforehand, so when you ask them it’s not a new thing.     At the start of the show, Kimberly and James talked about the advantages of being a husband and wife team, and they explained their mini-flip strategy. They shared the kind of mini-improvements that can have an impact on the selling price of a home. Towards the end, they discussed their plans to get into flipping.   We also discussed: How Kimberly and James have become authorities in the home improvement space Whether it’s okay to ask for a review months after the transaction Home staging The mini-flip conversation is a way to connect and communicate with homeowners in a way that’s valuable to them in the 6-7 years when they’re not listing their home. When they are in the place of buying or selling, you become their natural choice after forging that connection. When you want to become number 1 or 2 on Yelp! or Zillow, your clients have to feel like it’s more than just business.

Hello Couragemakers and welcome to episode 93 of The Couragemakers Podcast. This week I'm talking with the lovely Kimberly Myhill and I can honestly say this is one of the most refreshing conversations I've ever had about mental health. Kimberly Myhill is from Norwich, UK and has lived with depression for as long as she can remember and for a long time had no idea that was what was happening. Kimberly has had many ups and downs, more downs than ups over the years but now that has changed.  Kimberly works for Equal Lives, an opportunity she believes has changed her life. She works in development, and it gives her the chance to meet so many different people and carry out projects for people who like her, who really need support living with long-term health conditions.  Both in and out of work,  Kimberly advocates for talking about mental health as easily as talking about a headache. She believe in trusting your instincts to keep you centred and well, and that we can all support one another to reduce stigma, be open and honest and be the best version of ourselves we can be.  During today's episode, Kimberly shares her story, from living with depression, reaching out to get help and a very vulnerable and behind-the-scenes look at what Kimberly's repair work and recovery journey has looked like. We talk about how life-changing it can be to have a supportive employer, the importance of listening to your gut feeling and how Kimberly has been able to break things down and focus on her wellbeing. We dive into how life can change when we feel able to ask for help, how to talk to people in your life about your mental health and Kimberly's fantastic advocacy brand and the work she is doing. As someone who has depression and anxiety, I can't tell you how much I loved this episode and how in awe I am of Kimberly's work and how she is able to communicate so many things I struggle to find the words for. I found our conversation incredibly healing and reassuring. Before we get into today's episode, I want to let you know that attempted suicide is mentioned throughout this episode, so if you feel this episode might trigger you, please look after yourself and do what's best for you which might mean skipping this episode right now. I started Couragemakers to have real conversations and really go behind the curtains and I couldn't be happier to bring you this episode. I'd love to know what you think of today's episode. Enjoy the show. About Kimberly Kimberly Myhill is from Norwich, UK and has lived with depression for as long as she can remember and for a long time had no idea that was what was happening.

Brave, Leadership, Courage, Relationships, Impact   Summary   “Who is the brave person?” We'll look at that in our Thought of the Day. And in our interview segment, Kimberly Davis shares with us principles from her new book, Brave Leadership. That and more on today's show.   Bob's Thought of the Day   We'll explore:   Why I disagree with the last two words of this definition: “Courage is the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc….without fear.” The answer to the question “Who is brave?” I learned from my Dad: “That person who is smart enough to be afraid … and still do their job.” Why bravery has much more to do with facing our fears and overcoming them than it does with being fearless. Interview with Kimberly Davis   You'll discover:   How Kimberly defines “leader” and “brave.” The correlation between acting and leadership. Why focusing on yourself diminishes your impact as a leader. The story of Julia and how her shift helped her to find her Brave. What a Super Objective is and why it is vital to your leadership. How one school bus driver is using his Super Objective to help students build self-confidence. A story of two executives at a multi-day training event Kimberly led, and how each of them made a very different impact. Click to Tweet   #Leadership is a casting decision. @OnStageKimberly I don't want to be a #leader if I have to be like the other leaders at my company. @OnStageKimberly A focus on specific purposeful action to have an #impact outside yourself is called your Super Objective. @OnStageKimberly   Interview Links   OnStageLeadership.comBrave Leadership: Unleash Your Most Confident, Powerful, and Authentic Self to Get the Results You Need by Kimberly Davis (also available through Amazon)Kimberly's blogKimberly's TEDx Talk Connect with Kimberly on Facebook Connect with Kimberly on LinkedIn Follow Kimberly on Twitter Follow Kimberly on Instagram Resources   The Go-Giver Influencer Sell The Go-Giver Way Audio Program GoGiverSalesAcademy.com The Go-Giver Leader TheGoGiver.com GoGiverSpeaker.com Burg.com How to Post a Review

Healthy food matters to Kimberly Crupi Dobbins. A lot. It was her own health needs that motivated her to found Simple Squares, a supplier of premium organic nutrition bars. She bootstrapped the company after going on a sabbatical from Morningstar. She went from making the bars in her kitchen to selling over 1 million bars in year. They are sold in Whole Foods, Starbucks, and many more. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: [0:10] Jeremy’s introduction of this episode with Kimberly Crupi Dobbins. [1:25] How Kimberly got her nutritional snack bars into Starbucks and Whole Foods stores. [3:38] What vendors should consider before going into large chain stores. [5:26] Why Kimberly developed her healthy food product and why. [6:34] Kimberly’s routine when she was working full time and starting up the company. [7:14] The things that had to be built in order for Kimberly to quit her full time job. [12:44] The decision to expand her offerings and how she went about it. [16:00] What new owners don’t know that they need to know. [19:58] Why it all goes back to relationship and how Kimberly got advice from the founder of Larabars. [23:45] How Simple Squares uses Amazon to distribute and sell products. [25:45] What it means for a snack food to truly be “clean.” [30:42] Kimberly’s lowest moment getting the business running. [33:20] The proudest moment Kimberly has had: A New York Times interview. In this episode… The Healthy Food industry is a growing but very competitive niche. It’s not every day that new startup company in the space makes a splash, much less a success. On this episode of Inspired Insider Jeremy introduces you to Kimberly Crupi Dobbins, founder of Simple Squares snack bars, a company that has taken the health food industry by storm. You can hear her inspiring story here, so be sure you take the time to listen. What’s it take to build a healthy foods brand from nothing all the way to Whole Foods and Starbucks? A lot of hard work, sweat, tears, and mistakes. Kimberly Crupi Dobbins is the founder of Simple Squares. She's walked that difficult road and made it through. You can hear how this inspiring woman worked her full-time job for over a year as she built the company and is now enjoying the fruit of her labors. This episode tells the story of another of those overnight successes that took years to create. Kimberly Crupi Dobbins looks like she’s appeared from nowhere, but that “nowhere” was the land of blood, sweat, and tears that every successful company has to traverse. If you are in the hard times of building your own business you’ll be inspired by how Kimberly and her team have persevered, so be sure to listen. One of the most powerful points Kimberly Crupi Dobbins makes on this episode of Inspired Insider is that she couldn’t have made it in the health foods industry without building relationships based on good will. She tells the amazing story of how one of her direct competitors took the time to invest in her success and how that relationship led to all kinds of wonderful things. It’s proof that business success really is all about the relationships. Many of the so-called “clean” snack foods out there really aren’t. One way you can tell is to read the ingredients. Is there anything you can’t pronounce? It’s not clean. Is there anything listed that’s unknown to you? It could be a sign that it’s not a truly “clean” food. Kimberly Crupi Dobbins shares the Simple Squares success story and what it takes to produce a truly clean health food product, on this episode.
