A moving experience.
If you’re going to invest valuable time and money into developing your people, you want it to be a totally worthwhile experience for all.
I’ll get your audience thinking deep, their bellies laughing, and a powerful message etched in their brain… so powerful that it inspires action long after the curtains are drawn.
Having transformed many an advice professional at speaking gigs over the years, I know the real value of any session is the difference it makes in someone’s life down the track.
I do it by sharing decades of invaluable experience and sprinkle it with a light, casual presentation style to get even the most seasoned industry pro re-imagining what’s possible.
I’d love to be considered to speak at your next event, conference, PD Day, summit, or symposium… or whatever forum you’re running.
My secret sauce.
A dose of
real.
Making things relatable means lessons are learnt and messages stick.
A serve of practical.
Action is easier when complex is made simple and concepts make sense.
A splash of
fun.
Even serious business can be fun. Life’s too short for anything less.
Kim is a very articulate speaker, with a very casual-light style of speaking that keeps the attention of her audience. In each state she was unanimously rated as the best speaker that presented to our people.

Some valuable topics.
Here’s a sample of topics that audiences found valuable.
They can be done in person or virtual and delivered as a keynote presentation, breakout session, practical workshop, virtual training, or webinar.
Depending on how deep you want to go and the impact you want to make, they can range from 45 minutes to multiple days (with breaks of course).
If I added all the presentations I’ve ever delivered, you’d be here forever.
However, if your mission is to grow, inspire and help your people be more valuable(and build more valuable advice businesses), we should chat.
Using value to grow your business.
Engage and re-engage clients by showcasing the value of your advice.
A remarkable client experience.
Luring clients in for a lifelong relationship
One of the biggest threats to ongoing business success (other than the increased burden and compliance costs) is not having any or enough clients.
To prevent this from happening, you need to know how to catch and keep more client’s that you want. To be able to explain and demonstrate your value continuously, so people understand why you’re the very person they should work with, stick with, happily pay and brag about to others just like them.
Get this right and you’ll position yourself as an indispensable player in your clients’ lives.
Key learnings:
- Clarify and position the value of your advice so clients engage
- Get prospects over the line and willingly committing sooner
- Keep existing clients happy so they stick with you
- Forge deep, valuable long-term client and b2b relationships

Being a great adviser is simply not enough to make a lasting impact that engages clients and ‘puts a ring’ on the relationship for life.
It’s about delivering an experience so memorable, insightful and inspiring that your clients are compelled to take action and keep coming back for more year after year. And by making them feel so special that you don’t have to ask for referrals, endorsing you just becomes second nature.
Key learnings:
- Your client experience is your competitive advantage
- Be memorable, not forgettable

Turn confused people into connected clients
A delicious digital presence.
Leveraging digital, socials and video to grow your business
You confuse, you lose. Fact. If people don't understand what you do and the difference you can make, they won’t engage you. It’s as simple as that. And let’s face it, financial advice is complicated enough.

- Earn people’s attention and hold their interest
- Inspire clients to take meaningful action
- Communicate ‘what’s in it for me’ from your client’s perspective

You can only make a difference in people’s lives if they seek your help and you continue to engage them. In a world full of distraction, getting and keeping clients’ attention long-term is more challenging than ever.
In this session, we’ll explore how and why digital tools (social media, video, automation etc.) are among the most powerful ways to reinforce your value and nurture valuable relationships with impact, scale and efficiency.
Key learnings:
