In 2016, Kim wrote a blog about how terrible professionals are at marketing themselves. The gist: if you want to grow, you have to stop hiding and start showing up. Blog, network, speak, post, give, say yes, and put in the time. It was right then and it’s still right now.
Kim was talking about owning your authentic self and showing up as you a decade before the rest of the world caught up. What’s changed is that she’s spent the last ten years building an entire framework around it, because the insight was always right; it just needed a system behind it. That system is Big Deal Energy™: the confidence of knowing exactly who you are, owning your QUIRKS™, and communicating your authentic self unapologetically.
Doing all the things, the LinkedIn posts, the speaking gigs, the networking events, doesn’t matter if you don’t know who you are when you show up to do them. Most people are performing a version of themselves they think other people want to see, rather than showing up as the one that actually exists. The people who are remembered aren’t the smartest ones in the room; they’re the ones who figured out how to be memorable, and memorable starts with owning the quirks, experiences, and perspective that are entirely yours.
The Big Deal Energy™ Workshop is where that shift happens. In 2.5 hours, you’ll work through the QUIRKS™ framework to question the rules keeping you small, uncover your Big Hairy Audacious Goal, identify what makes you weird and remarkable, and start showing up as yourself consistently and unapologetically. You’ll leave with a plan and a group of people cheering you on.
