Empowering Leaders, Transforming Teams

Kim wields a unique gift: the power to unlock the full potential within people. This isn't just about enhancing business outcomes; it's about transforming lives and leaving an indelible mark on the organizational culture. From the moment Kim enters, her vibrant energy permeates the space, continuing to radiate through those she has touched long after she's gone.

Scott Marchinko – VP of Delco Water

I had the opportunity to work with Kim as I was in the early stages of entering a leadership role. I participated in her ‘Coach Approach to Leadership’ program which included both private and one-on-one sessions. Working with Kim allowed me to reflect on how my life experiences have shaped how I was showing up in the world and developed self-awareness of my impact on others.

Through my coaching with her, I gained confidence in being able to show up authentically and stand in my power. She introduced me to the concept of Radical Candor, which I likely wouldn’t have stumbled upon myself. I have been able to utilize the skills I have developed, not only at work but in other situations in my life as well. My time spent working with her was invaluable and I speak about it often. If you have the opportunity to work with Kim, take it – it will change your life.

Callie Kennedy – Delco Water

I have worked with Kimberly in a few different capacities including as a Governance Consultant and Professional Coach. Working with Kimberly has significantly benefited the agency I run and me as an individual. Kimberly is kind and smart and brings out the best in people. Her knowledge of leadership, governance, strategic planning (and beyond) assists the people and agencies she works with to be the best versions of themselves possible. I strongly encourage you to work with Kimberly if any of her areas of expertise are ones you need assistance with.

PS: She also has a great sense of humour, which makes the work that much more fun!

Chantelle Johnson – Executive Director CLASSIC Inc.

My time with Kimberly at Autumn Goose Coaching helped me to create a vision, identify and overcome barriers, and take action. What stands out to me about her style is the integration of meditation and her ability to realign focus and maximize the impact of the time we spent together. I experienced greater growth and self-understanding with her than any previous professional service provider.

Kimberly also facilitated a strategic planning session for our consulting business that was beloved by all involved. She integrated a variety of techniques into her facilitation that kept things fresh, fun, and flexible.

Bailey Watson – Chief Relations Officer Kihew Consulting & Research Inc.

Kim’s passion for helping people realize their fullest potential is something that is palpable from your very first interaction with her. She has a unique blend of a client-first stance when it comes to surfacing what is important to you and how your strengths can help you achieve your goals combined with a focus on the material (& “operational” ;), practical things that can be done to leverage those strengths as well as a creative flair to help you visualize your destination. I echo one of her clients at Evolve who said Kim is one of the most creative people I’ve met. I don’t hesitate to recommend her for that ”creative cause” to anyone in my network.

John Norcross – Evolve Partners

After my first exchange with Kim, it was clear to me that she is truly passionate about bringing the best out of people. The amount of transformation I personally experienced within a few months of working with her was simply staggering. Kim has been an extremely effective accountability partner.

She has a unique ability to ask intelligent self-reflective questions in a way that pushes you to challenge yourself, confront your fears, and grow out of your comfort zone. She is effective in her approach because she ensures that you eventually own the outcome, decision and next steps…. Kim strikes a seamless balance between showing empathy, offering perspective and constructively challenging the status quo. I strongly recommend Kim to any individual or organization serious about positive change.

Nilay Mehta – Team Manager

I worked with Kim during periods of extreme change for my business. Her coaching was an anchor, providing invaluable guidance. Kim combines business expertise with a reverence for nature, making her coaching sessions unique and impactful.

Highly recommend her services!

Robert Skarzynski - Standard Rail

I worked with Kim for over a year, and she began coaching me while I underwent several changes in both my personal and professional life. During this time, Kim was very committed to help me succeed in all facets of my life. Kim has opened my eyes to some valuable resources that I use almost daily, and I believe that my current success can be shared in part with her passion to help others reach their full potential. Kim does exceptional work, and I could tell that she was fully invested with helping me grow from the first day we had met. If anyone is looking to improve themselves or improve their organization’s outlook, then Kim would be the first person I recommended to assist with this.

Michael Holzer - Delco Water

I've known Kim for years, and her expertise spans not only her current role but also her past experiences, which have shaped her into the exceptional leader and coach she is today. During our sessions, Kim had a unique ability to tap into my inner thoughts, feelings, and capabilities, often uncovering insights that I hadn't considered before or wasn't consciously aware of. She guides the process with a pragmatic approach, meticulously walking me through each step towards achieving my goals.

Kim's use of visual aids is particularly effective for someone like me, as I am more inclined towards visual learning. In almost every session, she would utilize my entire 4x8 whiteboard, mapping out and linking everything we discussed. This visual representation greatly aids in understanding and achieving the goals we set out.

Jason Driedger - Delco Water

I have had the pleasure to work with Kim in an organizational setting at NOVA Chemicals in the technical group and at a personal level to advance my professional interests and goals…. Results speak for themselves and I was able to meet one of my goals of leading a small team in 6 months. Something that I really admire about Kim is her ability to extract a clear vision from fuzzy thoughts and translate that into tangible milestones.

This became my north star and gave me tremendous confidence as I set out to achieve my goals. Throughout the journey, as I encountered challenges, Kim was able to meet me with deep empathy while asking well-thought-out questions that enabled me to grow beyond my comfort zone. I highly recommend Kim to any organization or individual who is serious about implementing long-lasting sustainable change.

Nilay Mehta - Team Manager

Working with Kim has been the most wonderful experience. Her guidance, support, and gentle encouragement provided me a safe space to explore my personal strengths, while identifying opportunities for improvement by helping me develop new skills for continued personal growth. Kim’s gentle approach has taught me several methods to successfully navigate professional and personal challenges. She has guided me in setting goals with clarity and purpose, so that I could reach my full potential. I highly recommend Kim to anyone seeking to unlock their full potential and become a more effective leader.

Tammy McKay - First Nations Insurance

I have worked with Kim for over two years and am forever grateful for the opportunity. Kim has a way of challenging you with thoughtful and engaging conversation. It is a continual journey of reflection, challenging one thoughts and emotions, and recognition of opportunities and challenges in leadership roles. The advice and ability to provide one with self awareness in a non confrontational way has been key to my development. Our coaching sessions have positively impacted our organization, our leadership team, and my life.

Dara Lukoni - First Nations Insurance

My exposure to coaching was very limited until I met Kim.  She invited me into a formal coaching relationship, explained the process and made each session very comforting and personal to my development.  I feel I am a much better leader and employee to my organization due to our coaching relationship.  The work she has done with managers and employees within our company has changed the way we work together, solve problems, and progress scopes.  Her ability to see the big picture and provide regular feedback and recognition is unlike anyone I have worked with in the oil and gas industry.  In a short time, she has had such an impact and we are a more confident unit moving forward.  Her coaching and change management skills would provide benefit to all companies, regardless of the industry!  Kim has helped to make me a better person!

Rene Wooldridge – Manager of Organizational Effectiveness

Kim is exceptionally talented at meeting people where they are, with genuine curiosity, warmth, and a motivation for their success.  Her coaching style encourages individuals to work through challenging situations by empowering them to identify and find solutions independently while providing helpful guidance through each step of the process.  Working with Kim, I was always surprised and impressed by how timely her insights, tools, and thought-provoking questions were to the discussion.

Kim’s strong knowledge of the continuously changing business landscape, combined with her insight, genuine interest in seeing others succeed, and ability to motivate those she works with, makes working with her a pleasure and a tremendous opportunity.

Kent Fischer – Delco Water 

Kim set a new expectation for team retreats with her energy, compassion, structured activities and challenging yet supportive inquiry. She knows how to get to the heart of any issue and help resolve it. She is wise and dependable.
