WHERE THEORY AND EXPERIENCE COME TOGETHER

Kimberly combines research-backed theories and experience to help international speakers build confidence and persuade their audiences. 

She started her career with DuPont de Nemours, where she gave her first presentation and technical training seminar as a young electrical engineer. She was terrible, but received a 2-day presentation training course that changed her life (and inspired her current career.) She realized that products and ideas were only as good as their communication.

While advancing through leadership roles in R&D, technical service, sales, marketing, and business management; she continued training in communication, marketing, and business leadership. As Teflon(r) Global Business Leader, she became a product spokesman at large events with monthly appearances on live television and radio. As EMEA Regional Manager, she changed the distribution to grow an old business from $100 MM to $150 MM in 4 years. And, as Central Europe Corporate Growth Manager, the region grew from $650 MM to $1B in just 4 years.

Kimberly holds a BSc in electrical engineering and a MA in cross-cultural communications. She continues to research communication, persuasion, confidence, and other scientific areas related to public speaking. 

Today, Kimberly teaches international businesses to communicate. She specializes in helping engineers, scientists, and analytical business leaders to turn complicated ideas into targeted messages and results-oriented presentations. She has an energetic teaching style, an easy-to-understand native English accent, and loves complicated communication situations. She is the founder of European Market Link Sàrl (the owner of Presentation Training in Switzerland website) and will be your trainer.
