The Impact of Coaching 

The Organization was Getting Stronger

“Kimberly coached a senior leader on my executive team. I was amazed that not only was progress being made with the employee but other employees were changing their styles of communication and overall the organization was getting stronger. I would not hesitate to hire Kimberly again – she is excellent.”

– CEO & President, Mike Warren, Turtle Bay

I'm Doing More to Support My Team

I wanted to become a better leader and husband. Kimberly shared strategies to slow down in stressful interactions and think before speaking. I’ve become better at managing my emotions and pausing to notice the impact on my team. I’m doing more to support my team and family.

– Engineering Manager, Social Media

This Journey Was Life Changing

“I don’t live in fear anymore. Before coaching with Kimberly I knew things needed to change but I was fearful of speaking out and being my authentic self. I’m most proud of challenging myself and debating my peers. I plan to maintain my confidence and gratitude, influencing peers up and down the org. I am putting titles in the back of my head and understand what I bring to the table in terms of having reciprocal relationships with others who may be higher than me in “title”. They are human. I’m owning that I’m easy to work with and I’m helping the organization move forward. I’m helping create opportunities for others which brings me so much Joy. This journey was life changing. If someone had told me I’d be where I am in such a short time, I would have questioned that. I have a renewed focus on my career, my life, and what I have been put on this earth to do. I am so grateful. ”

– Senior Director, Investment Management 

More Confident in My Reactions to Feedback

“Kimberly is a steady hand who listens well. The most important change for me has been an understanding of how important it is to test my assumptions about communication. We have covered a huge amount of ground from unconscious bias all the way through to very tactical plans for communicating performance feedback.  I am feeling much more aware of how I reach out to my team and more confident in my reactions to feedback.”

– Director, Clean Beauty

My Strengths as a Leader and Person

I first started working with Kimberly during a challenging period in my career where I took over new responsibilities and needed to hire the team, define processes and build adequate infrastructure and tools, while working to earn trust and confidence of the executive management. Kimberly’s coaching helped me understand and articulate my core strengths as a leader and as a person, identify my blind spots and take proactive steps to address those. It allowed me to reflect on my (and my team’s) achievements, analyze the process that led to those achievements and gain confidence. Kimberly’s attentive and welcoming style facilitated very honest and open conversations that were key to my progress. I would highly recommend Kimberly’s coaching services to any leader facing similar challenges or trying to move to the next level in his/her career..”

Emotional Approach to Work is Healthier

Since working with Kimberly, I’ve been able to achieve numerous long term strategic planning projects that I was pushing off. As a direct consequence of our time working together, I’ve grown as a leader and as a person. I’m faster to action and decisions. My emotional approach to work is much healthier and I feel more confident

I am Better at Making Decisions, Building Trust

Kimberly is a leader’s coach. She was both a sounding board, guide, supporter and mentor as I worked through multiple division re-organizations, management changes and, ultimately, a career change. I am more confident at overcoming challenges and using my strengths to manage in turbulent times. I am better at making decisions and building trust.”

– Vice President, Financial Services

Clarify What I Really Wanted

Kimberly offers a kind, but firm, alternative perspective — switching between challenging and encouraging me, depending on what the situation called for. Working with her has helped me not just regain a sense of balance in my life (always a work in progress), but has also helped me clarify what it was I really wanted out of life and brought a sense of agency that I had long forgotten about. I’ve enjoyed working with Kimberly and would recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful voice to help navigate the hard work of juggling a career and life outside of it.

– Global Program Lead, search engine company

Finally Talking About the Real Issues

“Kimberly helped me with communication – suggestions for raising difficult issues directly, and how to phrase things in ways that didn’t invite defensiveness. My co-founder and I are in a much better place. We are finally talking about the real issues and addressing them.”

– Co-Founder, Construction Management

Helped Me Communicate with Clarity & Compassion

Working with Kimberly has been wonderful! She is very patient and compassionate. She expertly guides me in a way that leads me to find answers or questions within myself. This gift of awareness has helped me improve my focus and goal setting. It has also helped me communicate with clarity and compassion with my team members. Linking awareness with the practice of mindfulness has enabled me to make some life changing decisions both in personal and professional life.”

– Medical Director, Regional Health Care System

Unlock the Power of "Results through Relationships"

Your “Leadership State” is your way of being in relationship with yourself and with others. 

Since the only person you can control is yourself, effective leadership depends first on self-mastery, then on your ability to influence others.

If your strong technical skills have earned you recognition, but you’re not yet having the impact you want to, it’s time to elevate your influence. 

What do you need to do – or stop doing – to be the leader you want to be? 

I’ve had to learn to adapt my style and approach in my own most important relationships and leadership roles in order to be more effective. I know how challenging it can be. And how rewarding. 

If you’re ready to move outside of your comfort zone for the sake of being more effective, please get in touch. 

When leaders get better, everybody gets better.
