Hi, I’m Kim.
I spent 20 years working in a public library helping people find what they were looking for.
That’s exactly what I do as a coach, except now I help people like you find a path that feels like yours when you’re at a crossroads in life and career.
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 and career with plenty to be grateful for.
But life and work don’t always unfold the way we imagine.
We experience setbacks, feel stuck and face unexpected challenges. We crave something new or different or we just know something is off and it’s not getting better on its own.
When we get in our own heads about it all or ask for advice from friends, family and colleagues it can feel overwhelming to figure it all out.
Sometimes you need someone outside your life to help you sort through it all so you can hear yourself think. This is where the shift begins, because real, lasting change starts from within.
Sometimes the conversations we’ll have will take you somewhere you didn’t expect…somewhere better than where you were trying to go.
It starts with slowing down enough to get honest about what you actually want, what’s holding you back and who you are underneath it all.
That’s when you can make clear decisions about what you want to change and what’s actually been working for you all along.
That’s the work we’ll do together, and it’s how your next chapter begins.
3 ways to move into your next chapter…
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.
