Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I would love the offer you a FREE introductory coaching session to get to know each other better and see if we are a good fit. I do all coaching sessions over the phone or video conference calls. Go to the scheduling page on my website to access my calendar and schedule a free 30 min. phone call. As a coach, I don't solve problems for my clients, as they are the experts in their lives. Rather, I help remove the obstacles that stand in the way of my clients attaining their goals. I bring structure to my client's thinking and aid them to find solutions and commit to the actions that will move the goal forward. My empathetic and non-judgmental approach builds a strong rapport with my clients that is based on understanding, honesty, and respect. While I’m based in the United States, I work with clients from all over the world via phone and video conferencing. Are you looking for more in your personal and professional career? If yes, I’d love to work with you. ****How to know if you need coaching or support from a mental health professional? Therapy work tends to be for individuals with some level of depression or mental health issue. When a person has physical symptoms, such as a sore throat or a persistent cough, that interfere with daily life, they should see a physician to diagnose and treat the problem. Similarly, when a client is experiencing mental health issues (i.e. a condition that prevents an individual’s mind from working normally like depression), we should refer them to the appropriate professional for diagnosis and treatment. Mental health issues are outside a coach’s level of expertise or scope of services. (*Note that these guidelines are adapted from the International Coach Federation)

I really enjoyed working with Kim. I worked with her for a short time but she was extremely helpful and provided me with great resources for me to start my own consulting business and to help me with some issues surrounding self care after leaving a difficult job. I do plan on working her again soon. I highly recommend her as a life coach.

I paid and went through for two other researched interviewers before going with Kim. I have never paid for a coach for interview purposes before, was unsatisfied with my first coach before Kim, and knew from the second session Kim was great. Being new to the idea of hiring a coach to improve my interviewing, I had to adjust to the openness involved, and she was extremely accommodating, patient, and insightful as a coach. Kim gets my highest recommendation.

I'd arrived at a place in my life where multiple major life challenges had obscured my vision of my desired future. Working with Kimberly helped me re-affirm my vision for the future--a vision I am now living in retirement--5 years earlier than I'd originally thought I could.

I had an amazing and an enlightening experience working with Kim. Throughout our 90 day engagement, Kim was able to ask me the right questions to identify my professional gaps and more importantly she helped me pave a process to resolve those gaps. The activities that we did during our sessions helped me identify a realistic career path for myself in my given situation. I went through a lot of job hunts and interview experiences in those 90 days and Kim was there to help me throughout the process. I would highly recommend that you try different challenges while you're working with Kim, she is great at keeping you in check. I have nothing but good feedback for her, I endorse her skills and experience. Also, more importantly the real execution comes after your sessions with Kim; to continue the execution strategy. Trust me there is light at the end of the tunnel. Good Luck. :)

I worked with Kim for a year and I met my biggest goals. I wanted to prepare myself for a launch into a job change or to create a new perspective to make the old job work for me. Along the way I encountered more challenges at work than I expected. Kim was a great and resourceful listener who gave me great feedback on what didn't seem normal and when a different response than I was thinking might be more productive. She expected me to structure the discussion, which encouraged a great period of reflection off of which I'm now building in my current position when I need to respond more quickly using my instincts. Once I've formulated clearer goals for where I want to go next and what challenges I see to get there, Kim would be my first call to work with again as my coach.
