TEDx Babson College: I Survived the Big C: Conformity

Bridging the gap between our perceived future selves and where we actually end up in life can take some reconciling and it relates to every element of my personal and professional journey. I’ve bridged the gap between two totally different careers and have used that experience to launch a highly successful entrepreneurial venture. I’ve bridged the gap between what I thought my life was supposed to look like in terms of having children and instead, I’ve celebrated the fact that my path is different and unique and can be equally as fulfilling. This TEDx is for anyone who has grappled with where they are in life versus where they thought they were “supposed” to be. It encourages people to look at their life through a different lens and embrace a shift in mindset. By doing so, we’re able to bridge the gap between what we thought the version of our lives might look like and instead of being faced with regret or questioning ourselves, we can choose to celebrate our choices. We need to realize that each experience is a gift that leads us exactly to where we are and, more often than not, where we are supposed to be. Instead of labeling something as being “wrong” in reality, it may just be “different” from what we envisioned. And in some cases, that can be a blessing in disguise.

Kim’s story of how she ended up as a financial advisor turned thriving entrepreneur is a wild ride full of unexpected surprises.

Kim recently emceed our event, the ‘MetroWest Conference For Women'. In a word, she was outstanding! She kept the day moving smoothly from beginning to end. Kim was well prepared, engaging and was instrumental in helping us achieve a warm and welcoming experience for our attendees. Additionally, she was able to professionally handle last-minute adjustments to our program that would have otherwise been a distraction and she did it all with her signature sense of humor. We will definitely have her back again next year!

JEN MASEDA President, MetroWest Conference for Women and CEO, She's Local.

"Kim Miles was born to do this: bring people together in an entertaining environment, and hit them with an impactful message. She never disappoints. She makes a room full of 700 strangers feel like a party with your best friends and she manages to be outrageously funny without sacrificing the integrity of her message. Kim's talent for organizing all sorts of critical information into tightly organized and customized events is truly limitless…and they're always FUN! Goulston & Storrs hired Miles in Heels to help facilitate a panel discussion for the ALM Conference in Manhattan: a conference that caters to 200 attorneys. Kim was the key component to elevating our panel above 18 back-to-back seminars over the course of two days. Her ability to engage everyone and bridge the gap between the panelists and the audience was unparalleled. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive from conference attendees and the proof was in the rave reviews: 'The best panel of the conference!'"

JENNIFER B. FUREY Director, Goulston & Storrs, P.C.

"Kim Miles is everything you expect her to be – everything she promises to be. After one hour with Kim, I was clear on what I had to offer and how to articulate it to the world. After a few hours with Kim I knew exactly what I needed to do to make that vision a reality. Kim is like your best friend, favorite sister, toughest coach and most valuable advisor all rolled into one."

LIZ O'DONNELL Founder, Rent-A-Sister and WorkingDaughter.com

"The Winchester Hospital Foundation found working with Kim and Miles in Heels Productions to be an absolute pleasure. She consistently brought 100% of her energy and creativity to the table. Her ideas were original and innovative. Kim is as invested in the success of an endeavor as are her clients. She does her homework and arrives prepared and focused for meetings. She becomes an extension of your team generously sharing her perspective and recommendations as the planning for an event progresses. Best of all, she delivers! We were thrilled with her engagement of our physicians and audience!"

MARIBETH CANNING, FAHP, CFRE Former Vice President, Winchester Hospital Foundation, Senior Philanthropy Executive

“Miles in Heels' Golden Rules for Getting Past Hello! was the absolute perfect way to kick off our Women's Leadership summer experiential experience. Kim is such a dynamic, energizing speaker that the students were absolutely glued to each of her words. It was rated as one of the most effective sessions of the week, setting a solid foundation for the remaining events. The practical materials truly resonated with this audience, and for the rest of the week, I had the privilege of watching the students put their new found networking skills to work, meeting new people, sending fabulous thank you notes, and getting way, way past hello. I can't wait to work with Kim again, she is fabulous!”

NANCY COLEMAN, Ed.D. Associate Provost and Director of Strategic Growth Initiatives, Wellesley College

"Kim worked with us to re-brand and emcee our very popular annual fundraiser, she was the secret weapon to, in her words, 'zhoosh it up'. And boy, did she ever! We count on this event for 40% of our operating budget and Kim delivered in spades. Her no-holds-barred creativity, deep event planning knowledge, meticulous follow through, wide professional network and can-do attitude ensured that our 25th anniversary Comedy Night was something special. And her unparalleled emcee talents were the icing on the cake! With Kim at the helm, we were able to meet our very aggressive fundraising goal."
