"Storytelling is an art form - and Kymberlee Weil is the master! I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some of the most talented creatives in the world, and Kymberlee is close to the top of that list. Her approach to storytelling is game changing. She has an uncanny ability to uncover nuance and layers in a story - details often overlooked by the author - and has a deep understanding and connection with the value of well executed presentation. Her inspiration to never settle for good enough is constant and contagious, as is the desire to always want to dig deeper into the work. Working with Kymberlee is more than a journey, it’s a transformative experience. And you will be deeply grateful for it. If storytelling is what you need to level-up, hit the ‘hire now’ button. I guarantee you’ll soon be wondering what you ever did without her!"

"To say Kymberlee Weil is a force of nature, would be a gross understatement! I hired Kymberlee to help me craft and deliver a TEDx talk, but I partnered with her because I know she'd push me and my business to new heights. If you want to work with someone (and I mean work really, really hard) who will stretch you way outside your comfort zone, then choose to partner with Kymberlee. Of all the coaches I have worked with over the years, Kymberlee cared the most, pushed me the most, and best of all, has become a dear friend and trusted advisor. We all read these sorts of recommendations all the time. This one was one of the easiest ever to write, because... the investment you make working with Kymberlee will provide quantifiable and qualitative returns for years to come."

"Storytelling Sensei! I have been honored to work with Kymberlee for nearly 2 years now and look forward to many more years. She sets a high standard for herself and her charges! Just when I'm ready to laminate my most polished story and share it with her for her blessing (and high praise), she engages in a discussion that guides me into make it better! She uses storytelling to make me a better storyteller and she mentors me by making me do the work and the thinking (gasp). I am a better speaker because of her. I am a better storyteller because of her. My stories are better because of her. Can't wait to keep seeing the stories that surround us, waiting to be crafted, molded and told!"

"Kymberlee is absolutely the best in crafting story into a speech. Story is what people remember and Kymberlee helps put that into context while speaking. I feel like I am at a higher level of speaking after working with her. If you want to see what’s possible, bring Kymberlee onboard!"

"When I was invited to audition for a TEDx talk with two weeks to prepare, I knew I needed someone to help me pull my ideas together to create a TEDx worthy talk.Kymberlee was recommended to me. When I spoke to her I knew immediately that I would hire her. She was so supportive and assured me that it would all work out great.Her sessions were amazing. She encouraged me to dig deep to come up with my core idea and make a compelling talk. She is amazing at what she does. I came away with a fantastic talk. It just went live on you tube and the feedback has been incredible.If you are preparing for a talk, Kymberlee is your lady. She is incredible and a joy to work with!"

"Working with Kymberlee has changed my life. She is 100% there for you, she is generous, and she knows how to take you from ‘good’ to ‘great.’ She holds your hand through the process of creating a TEDx talk, as well as all the aspects of performance on stage. Kymberlee is not just an excellent coach and business strategist, she is family."

"When I was asked to give a TED talk, I was both extremely honored, but, also, I had absolutely no idea what I was in for! I have given hundreds of talks to audiences big and small. But the TED stage is a different beast -- every word matters. Kymberlee -- a veteran of the TED community -- helped me tremendously in the weeks leading up to my talk and afterwards. In a situation where you need an objective observer to give you honest and intelligent feedback, Kymberlee strikes the perfect balance of supportive and critical. Kymberlee kept me on point, focused and she took the time to figure out what my objectives really were and how to get me there. She not only helped me with the specific task of my talk, but she gave me insights that continue to help me in my public speaking and beyond. She is a true master of her trade and I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to work with and learn from her."

"Before working with Kymberlee my stories were long-winded, chaotic, and lacked anything resembling a punch. Thankfully, I found Kymberlee well before taking the stage at TEDx Santa Barbara and my life has never been the same since. Now I use well-crafted, hard-hitting stories in every single area of my business and marvel at the power they have to influence and create the change I want, no matter who I’m speaking to. Stories are my new secret weapon and Kymberlee is the only person I trust to take them from good to life changing. Trust me: you need stories, and you need Kymberlee."

"I thought I had public speaking down pat. I've addressed audiences all over the world ranging from 62 to 1000 people. But going into that red circle at TEDx, and connecting with a vastly diverse audience on an idea that can be shared around the world is like moving to another planet. Kymberlee made that move effortless and exciting. As a former Green Beret, I have followed a lot of quality leaders and coaches, and I would follow Kymberlee anywhere… Especially into the red circle."

" After being invited to give a talk at TEDxOakland last October, I suddenly realized that I had no idea HOW to give that sort of talk, and began to panic quietly. Fortunately, I found Kymberlee through an acquaintance, and she graciously took me on, even though we only had 2 and a half weeks to prepare. What I learned was astonishing, not only in its elegance and simplicity but its power. She gave me insight into the most potent ways to convey a story while helping me (re)learn the connection between mind and body. She also created a mental space for me to open up about how I felt about my subject so that what I said, I MEANT. All too often, people rehearse endlessly to get a talk down but lack the key component – to tell the raw truth in front of others without being afraid. She gave me that freedom, which is expanding to cover many other forms of communication that I do every day. Thank you, Kymberlee. I will be back for tune-ups in the future."

"Kymberlee taught, coached, and held our TEDxYoungstown speakers accountable to their own personal excellence. The day of the event no one in the audience left their seats and every speaker received a standing ovation, some more than one!"

"Working with Kymberlee has been a fantastic experience. I’ve gained clarity and inspiration through her guidance. Attending the Strategically Speaking workshop was the best thing I’ve done to improve my public speaking."

"After my TEDx Santa Barbara Talk, my friend just asked me how much of your teachings impacted my first non-TED talk. My response? All of it. I outlined it like you showed me, I practiced it the way you teach and I remembered the “I have time” mantra and paused for laughter. I read and revised trying to ask myself what you would tell me to cut. Thank you for changing my life and my speaking. I won the speaking contest and a $2,000 prize and booked another speaking gig from another association that was there. In other words: thank you, thank you, thank you."

"Kymberlee and her Strategically Speaking Workshop can be summed up in two words…Absolutely Amazing! Public speaking doesn’t come naturally for me. The exercises and tools that Kymberlee and her team provided helped me knock it out of the park at a recent speaking engagement I attended and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. You will love and appreciate attending one of Kymberlee’s workshops and will leave wanting more!"

"It was through the greatest stroke of luck that a friend connected me to Kymberlee. I had only four weeks to prepare an important speech and I was struggling with fear and overwhelm. The way in which Kymberlee helped me feels like a small miracle. She is exceptional at this work. So focused, so skilled. I learned so much through this process — things that will serve me in many other areas of my life. What Kymberlee delivered to me exceeded all my expectations. If you are considering working with her, I cannot recommend her highly enough. You will be in excellent hands. You will be so glad you found her. I know I am and, forever grateful."

"Kymberlee is a master trainer when it comes to the business of speaking, TEDx coaching and storytelling. In the last year and a half of working with Kymberlee, my speaking opportunities have doubled, I was expertly coached by Kymberlee for a TEDx stage in September of 2018, and my storytelling skills are now allowing for deeper impact with any audience I stand in front of. If you're looking for the coach who will hold you accountable and help you succeed more than you expected, Kymberlee is the master!"

"I had the chance to work with Kymberlee on not one, but two TEDx talks. She has an innate ability to mine the diamonds in your story, and spin a web of connectivity and emotion in a way that serves the audience. She encourages you to step outside your comfort zone to ensure that you are playing to your potential, and lends you her confidence while you build your own. I can’t recommend her highly enough- if you are looking for a secret weapon- look no further- but be prepared to step into your greatness."

"Giving a TEDx talk was incredibly rewarding, and one big reason was Kymberlee. She really knows the craft of storytelling, and she was willing to make sure I was telling the story I needed to tell. I was not always easy to work with, but she was patient when patience was needed and she was assertive when that’s what was needed. I trusted Kymberlee because I knew that she would be both honest and kind. About a week before the event, I was ready to pull out because I was feeling so anxious. Kymberlee was not phased — she listened to my rant, smiled with empathy and then got me refocused where I needed to be. So, here’s the bottom line — if you have the chance to get on the TED stage, do it! If you have the chance to have Kymberlee as your coach, definitely do it! Working with her was an incredibly worthwhile investment. I know that the final result was greatly enhanced by her expertise and her commitment."

"My experience with Kymberlee was at a recent conference attended by some pretty savvy business leaders. She led us through a high energy exercise that really resonated with the group. The message was elegantly simple, the impact significant. It was a difficult assignment—given the audience. Nice job Kymberlee!"

"Kymberlee showed off her Strategic Samurai and team building skills at a recent conference I attended, and I have nothing but positive memories of the experience. Her insights transcended business into the personal realm, and I still keep her message, “See past the obstacle” near my desk! Her presence was both warm and commanding, and she captivated all of us with the power of her message."

"If you have an open and learning spirit, Kymberlee Weil will blow your mind with her breakthrough thinking. Kymberlee resonates peace and genuine confidence that spreads. I am an avid reader of personal development and a believer in the power of the right mindset. Despite years of thinking in this area, Kymberlee’s strategic samurai presentation caused me to have a breakthrough thinking moment. If you seek personal improvement or know of a group of people who need it, Kymberlee will get you all down the path to being a more powerful thinker and person."

"Kymberlee’s Strategic Samurai presentation was a valuable, inspiring experience. She has seamlessly integrated her experiences in the business world into transformational pearls of wisdom that encourage us to push beyond plateaus of fear and complacency to achieve our highest personal and professional potential. I would absolutely recommend Strategic Samurai for those looking to up their game."

"Kymberlee embodies the heart and soul of a TEDx event, and it was an incredible honor to work with her on TEDxAmericanRiviera. Every year the speakers selected were unrivaled, an effort Kymberlee led. She was incredible at selecting speakers, but more importantly at working with them to hone their presentations and messages. TEDxAmericanRiviera was the success that it was because of Kymberlee’s tireless energy, unmatched work ethic and passion for what she does."
