Kim Boudreau Smith

After 25+ years in diverse leadership roles, I’ve made it my mission to empower women leaders—and a few great men—to (re)discover their authentic power. I’m here to help them lead and communicate as their true selves. With a dynamic blend of humor, personal stories, and interactive exercises, I’ll captivate your audience and inspire real transformation.

Signature Presentation

Tame your Inner Critic; Liberate your Authentic Voice

Whether they are experienced business leaders, emerging leaders, or entrepreneurs, many women fear other people’s opinions and “not getting it right” when they speak, which keeps them paralyzed and constantly second-guessing themselves. Kim Boudreau Smith is a master at showing women how to turn down the volume on their inner critic (or, as she calls it, “Hag in the Attic”), so they can accelerate their impact and leadership.

In this presentation, audience members will learn how to:

Confront imposter syndrome by changing their self-talk from critical to compassionate.
Release perfectionism by shifting from a fixed to a growth mindset.
Detach from other people’s opinions and pursue visibility opportunities where they can authentically shine.
Remove the “could-haves, should-haves, and would-haves” from their vocabulary and replace it with bold and confident (empowering) language.
Drop the “shoulder-padded” masculine-driven stance and embrace their bold feminine leadership.

Harness Your Feminine Leadership Power

Too many women struggle with one thing regarding leadership: confidence. As a result, they second-guess themselves or feel the pangs of imposter syndrome as they attempt to control their staff and colleagues and move them to take action.

In this presentation, audience members will learn how to:

Identify and clear limiting beliefs that are getting in the way of their leadership.
Shift from being in their heads to being in their bodies so they can access their feminine communication power.
Embrace their authentic leadership style.
Speak boldly as they use clear communication, adopt powerful body language, and tell vulnerable stories.

Kim is a dynamic speaker, and she did a beautiful job sharing her story, which was filled with compassion, lots of love, and laughter. I instantly felt connected to her, and she stirred so many emotions in me that I could easily relate to what she shared. I left with a new sense of direction and the motivation I needed to take bold action.
