Kimberly Brown sits down with Jasmine Garrett — Account Director at Adobe, President of the National Sales Network South Florida chapter, and rising professional speaker — for a candid conversation recorded live inside The Visibility Shift coaching community. Jasmine shares what it's really like to build a speaking career from the inside out: starting with internal company panels, learning to bet on herself, and beginning to figure out when and how to charge for her expertise. This one is for every professional trying to grow their visibility without blowing up their career in the process.

We're going deep on:

• How Jasmine's speaking journey started — from being tapped to represent Salesforce on a virtual panel to realizing she had a monetizable skill
• The moment she knew she needed to start charging (hint: it involved a multi-day workshop request that stopped her in her tracks)
• How she decides which speaking engagements to pitch for and which ones to accept — and why purpose and ROI drive the decision
• The nuances of co-branding and protecting your platform when you're employed at a large company
• How she builds her talks — from research and storytelling to branded leave-behinds that protect her intellectual property
• Her rehearsal process and why she swears by bullet-point talk tracks over full scripts
