What Leaders Say About Kimberly
"I think Kimberly was a perfect match for me as my coach. I feel comfortable to talk to her about the things I'm thinking and feeling, and my challenges. She asks me questions to think about things in different ways, and it has helped me to realize things I never noticed before. I've had a couple of pretty big challenges that I talked to Kimberly about, and by the end of our sessions I felt way more clarity on those issues than I had felt in weeks. I'm very thankful for my coaching sessions with Kimberly and look forward to them!"
