A speaking business where every stage helps you land the next one is the goal. In part six of "Highly Visible, Highly Booked," Kimberly walks through the six steps to building your speaker foundation.

She covers positioning and signature IP, then the assets that prove you can hold a room, plus why she went years without a professional reel while being paid five figures to speak. In this episode, you'll learn The three layers of positioning: expertise plus a target buyer, a specific buyer problem, and a recognizable point of view Why a signature workshop comes before a signature keynote, and how to test the paid offer that follows your talk How Kimberly's workplace communication workshop grew into body language and written communication content The order to build your speaker assets: booking guide, testimonials, stage photos, client logos, and eventually a reel Why a reel filmed in an empty room usually falls flat, and why you can't count on organizers to send you footage How to collect usable clips with your phone, a tripod, and a microphone When a personal website starts doing more for you than your LinkedIn profile The simple test for knowing your foundation is working Coaching reflection questions Can you clearly state your expertise, your buyer, their problem, and your point of view?
