There’s always a moment right before

the Mic Drop

The crowd leans in. The spotlight hits.

And everything goes quiet.

That moment?
That's where I live.

There’s always a moment right before

the Mic Drop

The crowd leans in. The spotlight hits.

And everything goes quiet.

That moment?
That's where I live.

A woman in a red dress and glasses sits on a director's chair, holding a microphone and smiling, with a stage backdrop.

I'm Kymberlee

Before the stages, the standing ovations, and the spotlights...
There were choices.

Not the safe, linear kind. The kind of choices that rewrite who you are and what you're here to do.

Behind every unforgettable voice is a plot twist worth telling.

Plot Twist 1

Casual Athlete or Full-Throttle Competitor?

I could have treated sports like a hobby.
Instead, I went all in: earning a full-ride scholarship to pitch for the University of Hawai‘i and was named NCAA Woman of the Year for performance, academics and leadership.
A woman with long, wavy hair sits on a director's chair, dressed in a black blazer and jeans, smiling confidently while wearing stylish glasses.

Plot Twist 2

The Safe Route or the Startup Spark?

I could have played it safe after my MBA.

Instead, thanks to a back-of-the-napkin idea that turned into an opportunity with Chris Anderson at TED, I co-founded an award-winning software company.

Plot Twist 3

To be a Spectator or a Story-Shaper?

I could just have attended TED, soaking in big ideas.
Instead, I was invited on stage at TED University (twice), the TED Summit (twice), organized numerous TEDx events, and have coached hundreds of TEDx speakers to deliver the Talk of their lives.
A woman in a stylish black blazer and jeans poses playfully by a director's chair, smiling and leaning against it with an engaging expression.

Plot Twist 4

Play It Polished or Improv the Unexpected?

I could have delivered clean, polished keynotes just like everyone else does.

Instead I trained in improv, landed acting roles, and built storytelling workshops that create immersive experiences and shift mindsets.

Plot Twist 5

Step Back or Step Up?

I could have rested on wins.
Instead I earned my 5th Degree Black Belt, Master Level. All because presence, discipline, and sharp instincts matter on every stage.
A woman with long hair and glasses sits confidently on a director’s chair, wearing a black jacket and flared jeans, smiling at the camera against a white background.

What this all means for you.

Every high-stakes moment is won or lost by the story you tell.

Whether you're pitching a deal, leading a movement, or standing in the spotlight, your message has one job:

To move people.

That’s not just what I believe.

It’s what I help leaders do every day. Want in? 

It's what

I Teach

It's what

I Live

It's what

I Coach

High-Stakes Moments Don’t Come with

Second Chances

If the next pitch, keynote, or deal could change everything, your message needs to do more than inform.

You need to own the room and drive results.

Slides don’t change people. Stories change people.

Let’s build that story that shifts what happens next for you.
