Kimberly has spoken on the following topics:
Discovering the Barriers (Bias) – notable presentation- the Society of Petroleum Engineers WIN Congress Conference
We all have unconscious bias; it is engrained in the way we have experienced our lives. During this interactive speech we learn to see our biases and embrace how we can have diversity of thought present, where everyone is heard. This topic is leveraged from years of study and experience/exposure, when bias was not even a topic in recruiting.
Understanding your Personal Brand- notable presentation- the AIChE Conference
Personal branding is at the forefront of how people perceive you as an individual. It can support you to accelerate your career aspirations, build the company you work for, and even help to align your brand with a bigger purpose within your company. We discover what personal branding means and why is it important.
