“The Meeting Before The Meeting® Academy is where ambitious professionals come to take ownership of their careers, not just react to them. Built on the foundation of Coaching, Community, and Courses, this is your space to gain clarity, make confident decisions, and navigate real-world career moments-from pivots to growth to reinvention.
Because your career isn’t just about climbing a ladder, it’s about building a path that actually works for you.”
You’ve built experience, delivered results, and know you’re capable of more—but your next step still isn’t clear. And that uncertainty can feel frustrating. 😕
Sound familiar? Here’s the truth…
Career growth isn’t just about skills - it’s about clarity, strategy, and positioning.
Many professionals stay stuck because they:
Lack a clear, aligned direction for their next move
Undervalue or under-leverage their strengths
Don’t have a structured approach to navigating pivots or opportunities
Struggle to confidently communicate their value
That’s why I created The Meeting Before The Meeting® Academy.
This isn’t about chasing titles or waiting for validation.
It’s about positioning yourself with clarity, confidence, and intention, no matter the direction you choose.
Inside the Academy, you’ll learn how to:
Clearly articulate and position your unique value
Show up as someone who drives impact—not just completes tasks
Navigate opportunities, pivots, and decisions with confidence

Meet Karyn Nesby
CEO of KMN Coaching & Consulting & Creator of The Meeting Before The Meeting ® Academy
I created The Meeting Before The Meeting® Academy to provide professionals with the tools, clarity, and guidance that are often missing in the workplace but critical for navigating and growing a meaningful career.
Over the course of my career in corporate leadership roles, I’ve worked across teams, mentored professionals at different stages, and seen a consistent pattern: highly capable individuals questioning their direction, undervaluing their strengths, or trying to navigate important career decisions without the right support.
Not because they lacked talent, but because they lacked a clear framework, strategic guidance, and spaces where they could think through their next move with confidence.
The Academy is my way of changing that.
