When Walmart and Kimberly-Clark partnered to host the Women’s Empowerment Summit for NEW (Network of Executive Women), they aimed to do more than inspire. Their goal was to shift mindsets and equip attendees to leverage their unique journeys.

“Cara Brookins as a keynote speaker was truly incredible. Cara’s charisma and style was appealing to a very diverse and large audience of attendees, and her content engaged from the first moments!”

Cara Brookins delivered the keynote titled “Build the Life You Want,” a 45-minute virtual presentation that combined raw personal narrative with practical life lessons. Her story aligned perfectly with the summit’s theme, “How I Built This,” and highlighted the resilience needed to lead through both personal and professional challenges.

Cara’s session was streamed live to an audience of 700+, including executives from Walmart, Tyson, JB Hunt, LPGA, and other global brands. Even in the virtual space, her energy and relatability resonated as she delivered a presentation from inside the house she built. Attendees flooded the event team with comments praising her presentation as a highlight of the summit.

Behind the scenes, Cara’s team worked in lockstep with event planners navigating uncharted territory in virtual event delivery. The result was a keynote that left attendees feeling encouraged and equipped to build not just careers, but lives they truly want.
