Planning for Life after Retirement
" The experience of working with a coach was excellent for me. It provided the opportunity to clarify my goals and search deeply to understand what I need to do and why. Kim is a wonderful coach, being very patient and understanding. She has a talent for listening between the lines, and reflecting back my thoughts in a truthful way so that I could hear myself from a new and objective perspective. She also provided many resources to help me reach my goals. I would recommend coaching to anyone who wants a partner to support making personal changes."

Finding Life Balance
For much of my life, I have been reading and attending seminars on personal growth and development. I took a huge step about 18 months ago, stepping back from work on a dissertation for a joint PhD to pursue another business. I had been an over-achiever my entire life and wanted a life!

About 12 months into this business, I was not where I wanted to be in my life or business – moving in the right direction but falling into old patterns. I was frustrated and could not see how to get out of my own way. At this time, I began coaching with Kim.

I cannot say enough about Kim, and would highly recommend her to someone wanting to make changes! She asks great questions and deeply listens. She has had many experiences in life, and is well connected and aware of resources that can assist whatever you are struggling with or wanting to change.

There were several areas of my life that I knew I wanted to change but where I felt stuck. In looking to make large shifts in our perspectives and beliefs, in my opinion, it is almost impossible to do alone—because you cannot see deeper beliefs, perspectives, and limited awareness that must also be changed. Kim asked questions to really understand who I want to become. She coached, gave me helpful work, and connected me with processes, books, and resources that were instrumental in providing me the tools that I needed to redirect my life in the direction that I wanted to take it.

I wish you much joy on your journey in creating a life you will love! I am deeply grateful to Kim for her role in helping me become more of who I really am.

Growing a Business
Kim supported me in my business building activity; to help me identify and resolve some my barriers to growth. She consistently and boldly challenged me on my thoughts that are getting in the way. At the same time, she has brought her business experience forward in helping me identify where I am in the process and offering alternatives.

Kim’s strengths are in being able to confront the client on the barriers is a very powerful (and non-threatening way), in offering options based on her own experience and all of the reading she has done, in celebrating progress and in recognizing when to challenge and when to help identify the baby steps.

Starting a New Business
Kim’s coaching sessions were very helpful. I found them to be a time when I could vocalize my concerns and goals.

The most powerful thing about coaching was learning about myself. Seeing that I was making great strides and accomplishing a lot. This insight helped keep me moving toward my goals.

The most effective thing Kim did for me was provide a different perspective. She listened really well and asked questions that helped me see things in a new light.
