What Would You Like Help to Change?
Hi, I’m Kim.
I’m a Certified Professional Coach and quiet leader. My approach to personal development, leadership and life/career transition is
thoughtful, strategic and strengths-based.
You are a unique individual. I don’t believe in cookie cutter coaching programs. My goal is to help you make the most of your crossroads by
helping you define your vision for the future, build on what’s working for you and help you change what’s getting in your way of making it come alive.
I use well-known tools, assessments and other resources that will enhance our work together. They will provide you with information about different aspects of who you are and the goals you are working towards to offer you a fresh perspective and new insights. However,
the foundation of our work together will be conversations that help you find the answers you need to move forward.
One of the first things we’ll do is clarify and define your values and priorities to guide your next steps.
Coaching, writing and photography are the ways I express creativity, one of my core values.
I grew up in a very small town in Saskatchewan surrounded by fields, open space and endless prairie sky. While I’ve lived in a city ever since I left for university, being surrounded by vast open space influenced my values of inner peace, open-mindedness and creativity.
I have deep appreciation for the rhythms and wisdom of nature. I know now there are also rhythms and wisdom that comes with profound change.
The first is now deeply ingrained in me through the lens of photography. The latter after experiencing changes, personally and professionally, that inspired my own personal development and growth.
I understand the practical and emotional aspects of change and transformation that can derail progress
because I’ve been at a crossroads, too.
Would you like talk about where you are right now and where you’d like to be?

Why A Dragonfly?
This dragonfly landed on my balcony (and stayed all night) at a pivotal time in my career crossroads story several years ago. It happened on the day I decided to leave my long career at a public library.
During a scary and exciting time, 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 from time to time to encourage you to keep going on your way.
