WHAT Leaders ARE SAYING

Kim’s insights don’t just inspire – they create real, measurable change. Hear from executives, teams, and industry leaders who have experienced the impact of her work firsthand.

With an engaging and dynamic presence, Kim captivated the audience with insightful perspectives on artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on the future workforce. The 350 young professionals in the room were so engaged, you could have had a pin drop.

Kim’s presentation at the 2024 AAC Annual Conference, themed " Building the Future - Innovations in Certification & Building Surveying" captivated nearly 700 delegates. She highlighted the revolutionary role of artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies in reshaping Certifiers professional role. Her presentation was engaging and full of energy!

I would highly recommend Kim for any business keynote. I recently saw her at the Gold Coast Business week and her presentation on the future of AI was exceptional. Kim delivered one of 5 AI keynotes I've seen recently and this one definitely carried to most weight with me. There were many practical nuggets of gold that I took away and generally found it a fascinating and highly engaging discussion. Her plethora of knowledge would be highly beneficial to any professional not looking to be left behind in the AI era.

Growth Leader | KPMG

Kim is fantastic! Her ability to craft a keynote to focus on exactly what the company needs and wants to convey as a message is incredible. What makes it even better is she can tailor it live depending what is said in the room. Kim is so easy to work with and the bonus of working with her is the access you get to her Christmas Cookie recipe!!! Love Kim and love what she does!

Rod Vowell

Award-winning Producer and Experience Director | Huddle Agency

I engaged Kim to facilitate several sessions on the Future of Work and Strategic Workforce planning during a day long offsite for our top leaders across SMEC's ANZ region. Kim’s extensive industry knowledge and her ability to engage a large group through three sessions - especially after lunch - was impressive. We are still talking about some of the concepts that Kim presented a year later and she has since become a valued partner to our organisation on a wider basis.

Jonathan Powell

Director | Surbana Jurong Group

From the outset, Kim was a pleasure to work with. Many guest speakers have a "set menu" when it comes to their presentations, but Kim was interested in learning about our customers, their challenges and pain points, researching the industry and fully understanding the brief. With thorough prep, she then came through with her presentation and engaged with our attendees for the full duration of her session. She was able to relate future trends to the hairdressing industry, and have an interactive Q&A. She challenged their thinking and gave them actionable insights to take back to the salon.

APAC Marketing Director | Wella Company

Kim has played an integral part in delivering successful people strategies here at Northrop Consulting Engineers. Continually challenging conventional wisdom, she has been absolutely fantastic in opening our eyes to improving management practices for higher employee engagement. I would highly recommend Kim for career development, recruiting and people strategies, as her brilliant ideas are well suited to any business size ranging from start-ups to large multinational corporates.

Kim was a pleasure to work with over the five masterclasses; each one was very educational and provided suggestions to attendees with diverse working cultures and styles. She offers her extensive expertise and global knowledge in every session, giving us a forward-thinking perspective on the current developments in the workplace.

Your ability to customize discussions and activities according to our requirements and the audience's background and diversity was impressive. This made the presentation both relevant and engaging for all participants. Furthermore, you demonstrated a keen understanding of future trends in talent management and effectively related these to current industry practices. One of the most impactful aspects of the presentation was your ability to actively engage participants. you challenged conventional approaches and sparked thoughtful discussions, leading to a revaluation of existing strategies.

Les Wingham

COO | Industry Partners Australia

Kim delivered the opening keynote at our Industry Leadership Forum in November. We gave her a brief to challenge the audience to think differently and she delivered. We were impressed by her industry knowledge, ability to tailor her content to the level of leader and her ability to engage from the stage. Kim was also very easy to work with and got great feedback from the participants. I highly recommend Kim to speak at your conference.

Ivan Cauley

Vice President | WORLEY

Kim Seeling Smith has proven herself to be the ultimate speaking and training professional. On the cusp of the COVID-19 isolation phase, she delivered one of our most popular live client events to date. Eight weeks later, we engaged Kim to deliver another presentation in a virtual environment. She got just as strong, if not stronger results than our live event. We could not be more delighted with the impact she's made for our clients.
