Hi I’m Kim,
I offer grounded and thoughtful personal development coaching to transform a challenging chapter into the story you truly want for your life and career.
Life and career get hard for most of us at some point.
And if you’re like me, and the people who choose to work with me, you’re also smart and ambitious, in your own way. You’re thoughtful and curious about what brings out your best.
You’ve done all the things you’re supposed to do to build a nice life and career and you have a lot to be grateful for, but…
life and work don’t always unfold the way we imagine it will.
Even when we’re good at what we do, even when we’ve done everything right and have plenty to be grateful for, many of us struggle.
We experience setbacks, feel stuck, crave something new or different or know something is off at some point in our lives and careers.
That’s often when we start looking for help to turn the page and step into a chapter that fits who we really are and what matters to us going forward.
3 Coaching Paths.
1 Purpose…
helping you step into a vibrant new 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 like you in challenging chapters because I needed help in three defining chapters of my own life and career.
But 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 very 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 very 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 in both.
That’s the purpose of coaching. You have the answers, I help you find 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.
This dragonfly landed on my balcony (and stayed all night) on the day I sent in my application for the coaching course at Rhodes Wellness College with the plan to eventually leave my long career at the library (which I did almost exactly a year later in July, 2019).
A dragonfly symbolizes transformation, change, wisdom, self-realization & new beginnings.
I took it as a sign the path I’d been intuitively growing towards for quite some time was off to a promising start.
That’s the thing about change…you never know where your inspiration will come from. However, if you’re open to it, you’ll get those little nudges from the universe to encourage you to keep going on your way.
