About Me

Kim Boudreau Smith


When I was young, I had a big mouth and was too bossy. I was told to sit down and be quiet, and I would never make it the way I was. I took this on into my corporate career, being quiet in a room with all men. Without knowing it, I had imposter syndrome, and I didn’t even know what that was. I stayed and put up with this because society said this is part of having a title and money, so I thought. I did this for years, even when I launched my business, and eventually, I fell asleep at a major red light- intersection. 

Today, my red-hot passion is advocating for women (and a few great men) and helping them own their bold voices, whether speaking on stage, private coaching, or working with companies.

MY JOURNEY

I had it all—a dream corporate job, promotions, traveling the world, impressive titles, and a fat paycheck. To anyone looking in from the outside, I was living the life. But the truth? I was dancing with imposter syndrome, wearing it like a second skin. Despite the facade of success, I was drowning in stress and unfulfilled, lost in the “shoulds” society handed me on a silver platter. I chased the next title, the next raise, believing it would bring me acceptance. But then, in the blink of an eye, it was all ripped away. My title? Gone. The money? Disappeared. And with it, everything I thought defined my worth.

But I’m not one to stay down for long.

I jumped back into the corporate world, only to find myself in another toxic environment. I was the only woman at the table, surrounded by men who made it clear they didn’t want me there. I felt like a caged animal, trapped in a corporate jungle that was slowly suffocating me. That’s when I knew—I needed to break free.

So, I did. I launched a fitness business before the internet was even a thing, pounding the pavement with private training sessions in people’s homes, teaching group fitness classes, and developing a strength training program tailored specifically for women. My passion for empowering women’s strength grew into an advanced program and a series of training videos.

When online businesses started to take off, I pivoted, leading three anthologies that gave women a platform to share their voices. These books didn’t just make waves; they became best sellers on Amazon, with one even clinching the title of a number one international best seller.

But I wasn’t done. I saw the need for women to step up, speak out, and make an impact. So, I launched an internet radio station offering a VIP service for women to host live radio shows. Yes, we had a few great men join us, but the focus was clear—amplifying women’s voices.

And that journey brought me to “Her Bold Voice,” an in-person speaking class designed for women who are ready to own their power, command the room, and leave a lasting impact.

I am honored to witness the transformation that happens when leaders and business owners step into their full potential. Whether they’re walking into rooms with confidence, leading teams with clarity, or delivering presentations that captivate and inspire, the impact of elevated communication is undeniable. It’s not just about speaking—it’s about connecting, influencing, and making a lasting difference.

I work closely with executives in one-on-one coaching, guiding them to refine their communication skills so they can lead with authenticity and power. I also lead facilitated training for teams, ensuring that every member can contribute their best, fostering collaboration, and driving results.

For business owners, I provide the support they need to become more visible and viable in their industries, helping them to clearly articulate their vision and connect with their audience.

And through my keynote talks, I inspire large groups, sharing insights and strategies that empower leaders to engage in high-stakes conversations and call people to action.

Leadership isn’t just about holding a title—it’s about how you communicate, how you show up, and how you inspire others to follow. I’m here to help you elevate every aspect of your communication so you can lead with confidence and leave a lasting impact.

It brings me joy…

To guide a C-Suite leader in mastering authentic presentations, compelling storytelling, and the art of calling people to action. Watching them transform into memorable speakers, with confidence that soars to new heights, is what drives me.

To support a successful business owner in aligning their entire team on messaging, enabling sales teams to build lasting relationships, improve closing rates, and ensure everyone is speaking up, influencing, and making an impact—leading to greater success with clients.

To witness a woman boldly owning her voice, breaking free from negative internal dialogue, shedding imposter syndrome, and abandoning the need to play small to please others.

This is why I coach! I am honored to witness people’s confidence grow, empowering them to create change and make a lasting impact in the world!
