Hi, I’m Kim.
At a crossroads in your life and career?
If you’re ready to accept it, let’s talk.
I help people make the most of the crossroads in their life and work.
I know what it’s like to be at a crossroads.
You want, maybe even need, something to be different, but you’re not sure what your path to that is or what you’ll need to find in yourself to get there.
You’ve likely had ideas. Second thoughts, and maybe even a few false starts. Now you’re here, ready for help to move forward.
Here’s what that can look like…
3 ways to move forward when you’re at a crossroads…
I’m curious what brought you here…
Maybe what brought you here is the Sunday night dread that’s become every night dread. The reorganization at work that changed more than your job description. Being in midlife, and feeling not quite like yourself.
Thinking I don’t want this anymore, but you can’t quite articulate what you really want. Having a bold idea for a new career or business, but with enough doubts attached to hold you back. Getting a promotion you worked hard for, but feeling a bit like an imposter.
I know that whatever has brought you to a crossroads, there’s a whole person standing there.
And I’m guessing what brought you here isn’t only What should I do?
Things you’ve wondered about yourself and wished were different. Changes you keep imagining. Thoughts that nag at you, unnerve you or make you wonder what else is possible, sometimes all three. At least, that’s the way it was for me when I was at a crossroads many years ago.
There were the things happening in my day to day reality at work that were enough to make me create a new career. But there were also all the underlying things I needed to change, to know and believe about myself in order to actually make that change a reality.
That’s why, while life has a way of filling the space between I want this to be different and I’m going to do something about it, arriving at a crossroads is actually an invitation.
An invitation…
to more than figuring out what to do next. Coaching gives you a way to accept that invitation.
It’s time for you…
…to slow down, to get a different perspective on yourself and your situation. To be asked thoughtful questions and really hear yourself answer them. To talk about what matters to you, what gets in your way, what you want and to have someone listen in a way that helps you see yourself and your options in a different light.
That’s what helps you decide if there’s something you want to pursue or something you want to let go. From there, we’ll create a strategy to make it happen, with accountability and support when it’s not straightforward or doubts creep in.
What you discover here lasts long after this crossroads.
The time you spend on yourself now gives you a solid foundation to keep growing from as you continue to shape a life and career that’s meaningful to you.

What brought me here & influences how I coach.
Before I became a coach, I spent 20 years working at a public library.
With a long career, I know what it’s like to feel both belonging and longing for something more or different. To experience a life-changing diagnosis early on in my career at the library just when it felt like things were coming together for me.
And then in my last few years at the library, to work in a changing, challenging environment that had me questioning everything…who I was, was I enough, what I could handle, what I should be expected to handle.
And eventually, to make a change that was unexpected to everyone but me, determined to create something meaningful from everything that had brought me to that crossroads.
Years now after making that change and coaching people through their own crossroads has only made me more interested in what brought them there and what will help them find their way through.
A foundation built on your 3 Good Things..
The strengths you overlook because they come so naturally. The values you don’t realize you’ve been compromising. The emotions you’ve been trying to get past instead of getting curious about.
As well as the the assumptions you’ve made about who you’re supposed to be and what you’re supposed to want. The things you keep thinking about. The parts of yourself that have had little room to grow or even be noticed.
And, from all of that, the things you discover you’re capable of when you start looking at yourself and your situation differently.
We’ll talk about your crossroads, whether it’s work-related, personal or both.
Since 2012, long before I became a coach, I’ve been exploring personal growth through writing and photography on my blog, Prairie Girl Wonders.
