"Our company contacted Dr. Alyn one year prior to our Agent Summit. We had a great experience with her staff. Details about her keynote address and her expectations of what was expected on our end were all addressed up front and in a timely manner. Dr. Alyn delivered an exceptional keynote address at the Nex-Tech Wireless Agent Summit. The survey reflected this as well. With "5" being the highest number she could receive, in tallying up the results of the survey, Dr. Alyn received a "5"! Dr. Alyn shared some insightful and humorous tips on how to step up to real success in your personal and professional life. She ended the keynote with her famous "up time" message. I would definitely recommend Dr. Alyn to others who need a motivational speaker! She was fantastic!!”

"Personally, I was incredibly inspired by what I call Kimberly’s “real talk” approach. It wasn’t up in the air philosophical stuff that I then had to translate to real life, but real examples of how to improve my own leadership actions as well as my peers with regards to bringing our core values to “life” and truly living them and stop talking about them!"

"I first saw Kimberly Alyn in action at the 2008 SHRM Leadership Conference in Washington D.C. Ten minutes into her presentation, I knew I had to find a way to bring her to Fresno. In 2009, my wish came true; Kimberly Alyn spoke to a packed audience at a Human Resources Association of Central California meeting. Kimberly blended her warmth, insights and sense of humor with practical information for a room filled with seasoned HR professionals.
Kimberly’s post-meeting survey scores were the highest we had ever seen, and the comments section was full of feedback such as, 'Wow, what a terrific speaker. She was funny, witty and what she said had a lot of merit; excellent choice,' and 'Kimberly was a great speaker! She was very engaging and entertaining, yet provided valuable information that can be used in our daily lives both at work and home. We need more like her!' In fact, our membership was so thrilled with Kimberly’s presentation, that we are bringing her back in 2010."

"As an association management professional, I have had the pleasure of working with many fantastic speakers and their staff! Kim is one of the absolute best! I met Kim through audience participation at a national leadership conference and from that moment, I knew that she was a perfect fit for my clients. With feedback such as 'Kim is the best speaker we've ever had' to 'I can relate to Kim...she's an incredible motivator and can help shape us as leaders' - we've continued to book her as a repeat speaker! From keynote to half day seminars and from leadership to personal development...she has it all! Thanks, Kim, for sharing your talent!"

"I’ve been on the Northwest Leadership Seminar’s (NWLS) Board of Directors for 16 years and have had the opportunity to see and hear many speakers; I can say unequivocally that Kim Alyn is one of the best, and that she hit a home run at this year’s NWLS. Kim presented for four hours in the afternoon, holding the audience’s attention, which resulted in the 725 attendees staying in their seats until 5 P.M. During the break, I heard two women discussing Kim’s presentation; one said to the other “I wish I would have heard this presentation ten years ago!” Thank you Kim, we look forward to having you back."

"I was rather new to my company so it was pertinent that the conference went off without any hiccups and made an impact. We wanted to close out the 3-days on a high note. Kim was the leadership speaker that we selected and she was simply fantastic. She was ENERGETIC, polished, edgy and communicative all while sprinkling in our company values and brand promise making it lively and humorous for the participants. Everyone left feeling invigorated and inspired. I have received nothing but positive feedback with regard to Kim’s keynote presentation. I would highly recommend Kim to any line of business as she certainly livens the mood and drives home the message."

"Kim Alyn is one of today's most dynamic and thought-provoking speakers on leadership and accountability. Her humorous, but pointed presentation "Real Leadership is Not for Wimps!" should be a must-see for every supervisor at every level of the organization. If you have not seen Kim Alyn, you are missing out."

"Kimberly spoke at our recent Employee Conference. Her presentation on “Rising to Real Leadership” was exactly what we needed! She combined great humor with serious take-aways, and left us feeling energized, informed and motivated. Oh – and don’t miss her “UpTime” monologue…it’s the perfect perspective for our time!"
