Kimberly Hurd

IN, US

Kim helps leaders bridge the gap between "on-the-ground" execution and "executive-level" vision through high-energy, authentic strategies. As the founder of Truly Hurd and one of the most compelling voices in leadership today, she doesn't just inspire audiences. She changes them.

Kim Hurd doesn't just talk about leadership - she has lived it for over 30 years, rising from leasing consultant to EVP in one of the most competitive industries in the country: multifamily housing. As the Immediate Past President of the National Apartment Association Education Institute (NAAEI), a national award winner, and a sought-after speaker at major industry events including Apartmentalize, Kim brings the kind of credibility that can't be manufactured and the kind of energy audiences don't forget.

Kim founded Truly Hurd, LLC on one core belief: that the most powerful thing a leader can do is stop trying to prove their worth and start leading from it. That message lands because it's real and because Kim has done the work herself.

Your audience won't get a motivational pep talk and a packet of buzzwords. They'll get hard-won insights from someone who has hired, developed, and led thousands of people and who now helps executives and teams do the same. Kim holds CAM and CAPS certifications, serves as Senior NAAEI Faculty, and consults at the C-suite level as a fractional VP of Learning & Development.

When Kim takes the stage, audiences walk away with more than inspiration. They leave with clarity, practical tools, and a renewed conviction about the leader they are meant to be.

Be Clear. Be Real. Be Truly Hurd.
