Kim Becking Biography

Kim Becking, J.D., is a New York Times bestselling author, internationally recognized change and resilience expert, and founder of the Unstoppable Momentum Movement. Becking began her career as an attorney at a major Kansas City law firm, later serving in community affairs and city planning for the mayor's office, and founding a public relations and public affairs firm. She transitioned to focus on empowering leaders and organizations, drawing on her expertise in emotional intelligence, positive psychology, and communications to develop research-based strategies for navigating organizational change and building resilience.

Becking's approach to resilience was shaped by her experience with stage-3 breast cancer at age 30. She co-authored "Nordie's at Noon: The Personal Stories of Four Women 'Too Young' for Breast Cancer," which details her journey alongside three other young women who met monthly at Café Nordstrom while managing their diagnoses. The book became a New York Times bestseller and was featured in publications including People, SELF, and USA Today. Becking's persistence in publishing the book, despite numerous rejections, underscores the resilience she advocates.

Becking developed the Unstoppable Momentum Framework, a methodology rooted in positive psychology and emotional intelligence, designed to help leaders and teams reframe challenges and drive growth. Her strategies have been implemented by organizations across industries, including Fortune 50 and Fortune 100 companies, healthcare systems, government agencies, and nonprofits. She also founded Momentum Motivation, a leadership development company, and provides executive coaching, workshops, and keynote presentations.

Becking's insights on change management and resilience have been featured in the New York Times, Good Morning America, Harvard Business Review, People, and USA Today. She has served as past chair of Speaker Magazine, the publication of the National Speakers Association, and is a member of professional organizations such as the International Association of Business Communicators and the Association of Talent Development. Her book, "Ignite Unstoppable Momentum: Harness the Power of Resilience, Adaptability, Grace, and Grit in a Rapidly Changing World that Never Slows Down," further establishes her as an authority on resilience and adaptability in leadership and organizational development.

    Refresh, Refuel, and Refocus YOURSELF in an Overwhelming World That Never Slows Down

    Kim has a secret to share. There’s no such thing as work-life balance! In this fast-paced, chaotic, work-from-anywhere, high-stress world, life is anything but balanced. Add in the endless list of competing priorities, too much to do and not enough time, increasing negativity, the need to do more with less, and the relentless tide of change and challenge (change fatigue anyone?!), and it’s no wonder overwhelm and burnout are on the rise in this world of “so muchness.”

    The good news is that even in the midst of change and uncertainty, you can have a healthy work-life blend. This interactive and energetic program reveals practical, immediately actionable strategies for reducing stress, overwhelm, and burnout and boosting your resilience so you can take control of your well-being, increase your energy, improve your productivity and focus, and create a life where you’re showing up as your best self at work and at home.

    This program is perfect for leaders at every level who are:

    • Feeling stressed and overwhelmed by their mounting to-do list and diminishing time and resources to get it all done (not to mention the unexpected changes and challenges that just keep coming), leading to a lack of well-being, energy, focus, and productivity
    • Wanting to find a healthy work-life balance blend in a 24/7, tech-driven, always on, constantly changing, work-from-anywhere, nonstop world that never slows down
    • Struggling to let go of what’s out of their control, prioritize, and set boundaries at work and at home
    • Losing confidence in themselves as their self-limiting beliefs, fear, and inner bully get louder with each new wave of change and challenge
    • Trying to stay motivated and maintain a healthy level of positivity and optimism in an increasingly polarized, often negative world

    Your leaders at every level will leave able to:

    • Maximize their energy (Psst….it’s more than just time) management and become more focused, present, productive, engaged, and connected
    • Lean into the power of the pause, harnessing their self-awareness and emotional intelligence to acknowledge how they feel and identify what they need to keep going
    • Quiet their inner bully, let go of what they can’t control, and reduce stress, burnout, and overwhelm through simple, yet powerful, mindset shifts
    • Utilize powerful mindset shifts to focus on the positive in a sometimes negative, high-conflict, polarized world
    • Skyrocket productivity and well-being by setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, saying NO without guilt, and delegating more effectively

    Psst: Guess what? Titles don't define us. We're all leaders from where we are!
