Corporate or Entrepreneur? We’ve all asked ourselves this question at some point in our lives, but have we ever considered that it was possible to do both and to do them well?
In this episode, your host Kimberly speaks with Shalaya Shipman, a multi-faceted hustler who leads multicultural marketing efforts for Black and Latinx CEOs through Salesforce technology, while also running a successful real estate business.
Tune in as Shalaya shares her journey of becoming her family’s first college graduate with a Rhetoric degree, and eventually exploring the technological space after her traditional corporate life experience, all the while building a successful career in real estate. How did she do it all, and how did she not only adapt but thrive in these seemingly contrasting environments? Join in on the conversation and uncover Shalaya's insights on making such pivots, and how she structures her multifaceted career by leading with intention and purpose!
KEY POINTS:

QUOTABLES:
“Technology has been an incredible vehicle for us to just show up in a new version of ourselves a new version for companies, we also have a responsibility as people and as companies to do the right thing. We can do that while still ensuring that we're driving the business forward.” – Shalaya Shipman
“I teach my professionals that we really need to think two years at a time. What can I do? What is my two-year plan? What skill am I getting? What environment do I want to be in? What do I want my next move to look like?” – Kimberly Brown
“It really starts with loving the work that you're doing and having the accountability systems in place to help you be the most efficient with your time.” – Shalaya Shipman

Kimberly’s content is billed as being for women and people of color. As a white male, I feel that her content is universally applicable. As a person that benefited from privilege I appreciate having access to this point of view. I feel that being able to get an understanding of these topics from her perspective helps me better approach these topics with my employees.I hope she keeps producing new episodes and publishing books.
This is not a podcast you can listen to while cruising or running errands. Kimberly drops so many FREE gems in each episode, you’ll regret not having something to jot them down. If you’ve been feeling complacent in your career or lacking in vision, her tools are guaranteed to reignite purpose and acceleration to your drive. Your Next Move is the empowerment and advising I didn’t know I needed until now. I can’t wait until the book comes out. Thank you, Kimberly!!lol
I love the messages and positive energy of this podcast. I want to use the tips in my daily life. I listened to “Mixtape Confidence” episode and it was very insightful on how personal life and work are a balance that we need to focus on. Also , i love the reference to the movie “Girls Trip”. The actress Tiffany Haddish has a very inspiring story . Hopefully one day she will be a guest on the podcast
Kimberly shares her honest opinions and best advice on managing your career. Her delivery is direct, concise and easy to follow. Loved her episode with Ariel and their thoughts on burnout. A must listen!
