‘Kim has coached me through some complex people issues, she is pragmatic and understands the commerciality of the issues. She makes complicated situations much more straightforward by asking all the right questions and suggesting an alternative lens to view the problem. As a leader you do not always know the answer but with the support of someone like Kim to provide the support and challenge it is possible to find solutions and to execute the process in the right way for the individual and the company.’ Chair of a Charity Trust

‘ the most beneficial discussions we have had concern how I can take the skills I have acquired in a career in broadcast television and transfer those to the charity sector. Kim’s coaching has definitely helped me understand what my transferable skills are and I am looking forward to applying those when I return to employment. In practical terms, Kim was always friendly and reliable, always listened patiently and was supportive throughout the process. I would definitely recommend her as a coach.’ ex TV Executive
