When conversations get delicate, communication becomes power — a Washington expert joins DK2026

Dani Komunikacija

An executive leadership coach, keynote speaker and host of the This Is How You Think podcast, Kim focuses on the skills that actually shape influence: executive presence, sharp communication under pressure and the ability to show up with confidence before you feel ready. In short — less corporate performance, more real authority.

Kim spent nearly a decade climbing the corporate ladder at Microsoft and Amazon, eventually reaching a six-figure role. Along the way she realized something many professionals quietly experience: promotions and paychecks don’t automatically bring clarity, purpose or confidence.

Today she works with high-performing leaders on the questions most people avoid — imposter syndrome, identity, pressure and how to communicate when the stakes are high.

At DK2026, Kim brings Talking on Thin Ice — Solid Communication for Delicate Situations, a session about what actually happens to your brain when pressure enters the room and how to stay clear and credible when emotions are louder than logic.

Because in creative industries — and leadership roles — the ice gets thin fast.

And knowing how to stand on it is a skill.

Jule Kim joins DK2026, taking place in Rovinj 7–10 May.
