Relaunch Alert! "Next Move, Best Move" is Back with Career Transformation Bundles

Welcome to the weekly Insider Notes newsletter by Kimberly Brown - author of “Next Move, Best Move: Transitioning Into a Career You’ll Love,” Your Next Move Podcast host and founder of Brown Leadership™ (formerly Manifest Yourself®). I can literally feel my heart beating straight through my chest right now because I'm doing something equally new and scary. I'm relaunching my first book, "Next Move, Best Move: Transitioning Into a Career You'll Love". First, let me rip the bandaid off and...

Reader, I’m writing a new book. It’s bold, personal, and something I’ve never done before. The core of it? How fear isn’t a sign to stop. It’s proof that you’re growing and it's time to level up. If you've been following along, you know that I've been chatting about book # 2 for awhile, but something just wasn't right. I knew the topic I selected could help professionals, but it didn't get to the root of what I do with my clients every single day. After coaching hundreds of clients, the root...

Hi Reader, If you’ve been wondering how to position yourself for success in the year ahead, I’m excited to share something that can help. On Thursday, January 23 @ 12pm ET, I’m hosting Next Level Strategy: an action-focused lunch & learn designed for professionals ready to accelerate their careers. What’s in it for you? Clarity: Conduct a self-assessment to pinpoint your strengths and areas for improvement. Focus: Define career goals that are clear, ambitious, and aligned with your vision....

Hi Reader, I recently shared a few of my favorite memoirs that I loved listening to. But this time? I’m back with a different kind of list—18 books that’ll get you together. You know those books that make you pause mid-sentence, sit up a little straighter, and say, “Whew, I needed to hear that”? The ones that light a fire under you and make you want to show up differently—not tomorrow, but right now? That’s what this list is about. Because here’s the truth: sometimes we need the inspiration...

Hi Reader, There’s something special about this time of year. The holiday season is perfect for slowing down, cozying up, and catching up on all the reading (or listening!) you’ve been meaning to do. And if you’re anything like me, there’s nothing better than a good memoir—especially one read by the author. It’s like sitting across from them, tea in hand, having a real conversation about their life. The way they tell their story hits differently—like they’re letting you into a part of their...

Hi Reader, Over the years, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been asked this question: “How do I stand out in the workplace?” I get it in emails, during career coaching sessions, and in DMs—it always comes up. And trust me, I understand why. Standing out in your career feels like this mysterious, elusive experience. We all want to be seen, valued, and trusted, but figuring out how to make that happen can feel overwhelming and like we have to reinvent the wheel to make it happen. If I’m...

Since announcing the relaunch of my book - my inbox has been flooded with encouraging responses about the vulnerability it took to make my needs and goals clear in this season. If I'm brutally honest, I'm still shaking in my boots because while I know I need help, I'm not used to "putting myself out there." I'm second-guessing myself with questions like: What happens if I don't hit my goal by January? How embarrassing would it be if nobody buys a single book? What if someone buys the book,...
