Hi, I’m Kim,
I’m a Career Coach, but not in the way you might think. Whatever is going on with work, we’ll talk about it.
But, really, what we’ll talk about is you. The stressful stuff. The complicated stuff. And the good stuff you may not have expected, too.
Because what you discover is what changes things for you, your life and work.
You’re smart. Capable. Thoughtful. You have dreams and goals for your life and career.
You’ve done a lot of things right and that’s led to a nice life, with much to be grateful for.
But life and work don’t always unfold the way we thought they would.
We experience setbacks, feel stuck or face unexpected challenges. Sometimes nothing is particularly wrong. We’re drawn to something more or different, but we don’t know what that really looks like or how it might change the life we have now.
When we get in our own heads about it all or ask for advice from friends, family and colleagues, it can be hard to hear our own thoughts clearly.
Because your life and career are personal. Your coaching should be too.
People trust me with the parts of their lives and careers that aren’t always easy to talk about, from struggles and doubts to ideas, hopes and ambitions. I get to know what matters to them, what they want and the experiences that have shaped them.
I get to see what people care about and what they’re willing to work for. What they want more of and what gets in the way. What they want to do with this one life that’s theirs to live.
I’ve met people I wouldn’t otherwise have met, found kindred spirits among clients and learned that something I might never want for myself can matter deeply to someone else. This is the part I never could have imagined when I left a long career at a public library to do this work.
Based in Regina, Saskatchewan, I work virtually with coaching clients across Canada. I offer 3, 6 and 12-month coaching partnerships.
- 3 months gives you time and focus to work through an important career question, like whether to stay or go or make a career change.
- 6 or 12 months gives you more time to make meaningful changes and invest intentionally in how you want to live, work and grow.
I’ve spent years helping people think differently about themselves, their lives and their careers. I know how to help you see possibilities, work through what’s complicated and find your own way forward. If something in your life or career has brought you here, let’s have a conversation.
3 ways to begin a fresh chapter in your life and career…
I invite you to discover if we’ll be a good fit to work together by booking your free consultation.
I work with people in challenging chapters like you may be in now because I needed help in three defining chapters of my own life and career.
However, I didn’t really know such help existed then, and I muddled through on my own for far too long…
A life-changing diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes at 30 came just as life and work were coming together for me. It was so daunting…who am I now and how will I continue to do all the things I want to do?
Being a mid-level leader at a public library aligned with my values and interests. However as leadership and the community we served changed, the complex workplace that resulted was not where I wanted to be. I felt deflated, disappointed, exhausted, and yet somehow, determined to make a challenging time the catalyst for profound growth and change.
A constant internal tug-of-war…I was going to leave, but what would I do next? It took me awhile to figure it out because it meant leaving a long-term “safe” career and that felt overwhelming.
While counselling has its place, what I needed was a life coach combined with a career coach focused on personal development to help me see myself and my options in a different light. Someone who saw me as a whole human being, capable and ready, to move forward.
That’s the purpose of coaching. You have the answers, I help you discover them.
I know that when life disrupts what once felt certain, you’re challenged to adapt to a new reality in order to keep growing and thriving. And that takes self-awareness, curiosity and the courage to take action.
It’s what reshapes not just your path, but the life you live on it.
That’s the heart of the work we’ll do together. Learn more here.
Since 2012, long before I became a coach, I’ve been exploring personal growth through writing and photography on my blog, Prairie Girl Wonders.
