“How do I build trust while maintaining high performance?”
“How can I deliver feedback that actually drives change?”

Kim has been a trusted coach and thought partner through some of the most pivotal moments of my career. Her guidance has been instrumental in helping me lead with clarity and resilience. Most recently, I achieved the highest employee engagement scores of my career—something I directly attribute to the work we’ve done together.

As a result of our year-long engagement with Kim, we successfully launched two games, and we continue to see marked improvement in employee engagement, leadership, communication and problem-solving skills. I would recommend People at the Center to companies who are ready for positive developmental change that impacts the bottom line.
Elyse Exposito | Chief of Staff | The Zebra
Kim was recommended to us as someone who could both engage a crowd and leave an audience with actionable steps for change. She definitely delivered on that promise. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to host uplifting, enlightening and entertaining sessions for your teams.
Leadership is complex, but staying human doesn’t have to be.
