Kimberlie Dykeman is one of those people you don’t soon forget. If her smile and laugh don’t get you first, her energy will. She is a woman on a mission. And her passion is overflowing, if not contagious, as an On-Camera Personality and Producer, Motivation Expert, International Spokesperson, and Author.  She has dedicated her life to being a motivator, entertainer and educator; and whether on-camera, on the field, in the boardroom, or on paper, Kimberlie exudes a charismatic, vivacious presence that has fueled a loyal following and countless success stories.  Her industry expertise and business savvy commands attention and respect, yet her unique blend of authentic approachability, natural curiosity, engaging charm and entertaining wit allows her to interactively connect with and captivate any audience, through any medium.  She has been lovingly described as “a triple threat, conveying Wayne Dyer’s targeted yet malleable wisdom, Ellen DeGeneres’ contagious zeal and engaging delivery, and Oprah’s universal appeal and anticipated promise of betterment.”

Born in beautiful upstate New York, Kimberlie discovered at a young age her knack for entertaining and engaging complete strangers. With her high-octane energy, she made it her mission to help people find their purpose. After graduating from Binghamton University, Kimberlie traveled the country trying on various professional hats. From elite personal trainer and lifestyle expert columnist, to model and stand-up comic, she met people from all walks of life who shared a common need: to find fulfillment in their daily lives. Capitalizing on this diverse palate, Kimberlie emerged in Austin, Texas to pioneer a groundbreaking system of lifestyle coaching, addressing this very issue with a wide pool of clients, from corporate powerhouses to single moms. Kimberlie also began a weekly inspirational email called “The Monday Soapbox Edition,” which reinforced lifestyle changes in her clientele through wisdom-charged quotes from famous figures. Her signature seize-the-day observations attracted a cross-country following, and became the springboard for the SOAPBOX® line of motivational products, a trademarked brand that leverages famous quotes to promote living life to its fullest.

Kimberlie also began test-driving larger media outlets, hosting series of health segments for Austin news stations, co-hosting the syndicated lifestyle show, Designing Texas, and contributing to citywide lifestyle magazines, including Austin Monthly, Austin Fit and austinwoman.  Seeking more powerful mediums to employ, Kimberlie chose to diversify her expertise through television and video; and an investment of several years in Los Angeles established her as an on-camera personality and authority on motivation in the entertainment industry.  While building her name in entertainment, the entrepreneur began expanding the reach of her signature SOAPBOX® vignettes; transforming her original emails into a compilation of bite-sized chapters filled with humor and her own kick-in-the-pants motivational style.  The manuscript was soon scooped up and hit bookshelves nationwide as her premiere book and audiobook, PURE SOAPBOX… a cleansing jolt of perspective, motivation, and humor.

From interviewing celebrities like Elton John, Andy Roddick and Guy Kawasaki, to a guest appearance on Friday Night Lights, Kimberlie has had the privilege to work with clients, including: FOX, ABC, CBS, CMT, TLC, Emmis Communications, Compass Learning, 1080 Entertainment, HDNet, NBC Universal, Music Plus TV, Creative Nations International, AMS Pictures, ME Television, Horizon Film & Video, BHI Media, Web2point0.tv, Competitive Edge Media, LifeSpan Fitness, and Phenix & Phenix Publicity.

As of today, Kimberlie has appeared in and produced a collection of hundreds of TV broadcasts/shows, infomercials, commercials, and online video series.  She is a columnist for Brilliant magazine and has been featured books including WHAT WOULD DAD SAY by GL Hoffman, A Survival Guide to Social Media and Web 2.0 Optimization by Deltina Hay and The Personality Project: Women of Personality- 20 Inspiring Women and Their Stories of Success by Rohit Bhargava.  Moved to share her brand’s success with charitable causes, Kimberlie became a Grassroots Fundraiser for the Lance Armstrong Foundation in 2008, pledging to donate to LIVESTRONG™ a portion of proceeds from the sales of books and any other SOAPBOX® products.  On the horizon… the SOAPBOX® mini-motivation series of books and SOAPBOX® Interactive Lifestyle Kit, plus Kimberlie’s personality and brand converge in a TV show and radio show.

Kimberlie has evolved her vast goals into a full-fledged, enterprising conglomerate that develops content for mass media, consumer products, live events and web-based communication.  Kimberlie is blazing a bold path to converge entertainment & publishing platforms with personal development, education & philanthropy, seizing every opportunity to enlighten & uplift people.  She is a motivator and entertainer for our times. A woman on a mission!
