I interviewed Kimberly Hairston Hicks, CMO of Gold Bond Co., on this week’s episode of Your Career, Unscripted! I first heard Kimberly speak on a panel at The Female Quotient’s SXSW event this year. I was inspired by her ethos and drive to champion diverse beauty narratives.
I immediately asked her to be a guest on my show, and was so excited when she said yes. Listen to learn about
- Kimberly’s career story
- lessons from being both an entrepreneur and an intrapreneur
- the women who helped her get to where she is now
- the woman who tapped her on the shoulder to tell her to stop playing small - and that there was something bigger she could do
- her day to day life as a CMO
- how the pressure to be small in broadcast journalism led her to pursue a different path
- advice to young women on confidence and standing in your light.
Favorite quote: “Don’t say no before you show up. Don’t tell yourself no. Show up. Let someone else tell you. You are capable and you are enough.”
Thank you Kimberly for being so generous with your time. I am positive your words and advice will help many, they’ve already helped me!
