What kinds of projects, tasks, or challenges do you typically partner with nonprofits on?
Through one-on-one coaching, I help leaders:
- Meet their organization's goals more efficiently by simplifying and prioritizing
- Clarify the work they, as the leader, are best suited to do
- Train and develop their team members to more fully own the rest
- Confidently deliver performance feedback in ways that strengthen trust
- Unify their teams around a focused set of big rocks
Through group coaching and facilitation, I help leadership teams:
- Rally together to address internal and external challenges as a united front
- Develop stronger skills for working through disagreements productively
- Clarify their most important priorities and strengthen linkages across functions
- Address interpersonal divisions head on, naming the elephants in the room with empathy and compassion (and perhaps even humor)
- Improve culture and performance across the organization

In my clients' words...
-"Working with Kim gave me the time and space to explore management and leadership challenges, reflect on past decisions and explore future ones, and have a sounding board to develop my voice and confidence as a leader. Kim is compassionate, insightful, and a joy to work with--working with her has been one of the most fruitful professional development opportunities of my career!" (Vice President)
