Customized development for individual and organizational excellence 

  Sustainable organizational success depends on the alignment between individual development and broader strategic goals. When employees build new skills, mindsets, and behaviors, they not only grow personally, they contribute more effectively to collective objectives. When development at the personal level is intentionally linked to organizational priorities, growth becomes both meaningful for the individual and transformational for the organization.

  With unique people in unique organizations, true customization and measurable results are critical for cost-effective, time-efficient development and support. 

Since no single framework works for all, real growth—for people and organizations alike—emerges from tailored approaches that recognize unique needs and contexts.

Bio

 Kimberly brings over 20 years of experience in finance, consulting, and entrepreneurship to her practice. She has provided coaching and consulting services to a variety of clients including top Canadian banks, academic institutions, government clients, and small businesses. She has also facilitated training and taught courses at universities and colleges in Canada and abroad. She maintains a healthy skepticism about the utility and long-term effectiveness of the innumerable trends in corporate development. Accordingly, she is a cautious innovator with a focus on delivering effective, efficient, engaging, and evidence-based solutions for clients. Her work, no matter the industry, is done to encourage thriving rather than just surviving. She has produced cutting-edge research in psychological performance preparation among high-performance executives. Her work has focused on optimizing motivation, focus, confidence, and stress among high-performers. Kimberly’s research has shown that, whether intentional or not, executives’ use of technical preparation is inextricably intertwined with psychological performance preparation. She is passionate about cultivating understanding and operationalizing this interplay. 


Kimberly has a PhD in Performance Psychology, an MBA and she is an ICF certified Leadership Coach.

This distinctive combination provides the flexibility and adaptability required to foster meaningful development for individuals across diverse roles and industries.


Absolutely not. The field of development is crowded with quick fixes, gimmicks, and guarantees. You won't get that here.  Engagements are designed to foster lasting, meaningful growth—an outcome that requires commitment, intention, and effort from everyone involved. 


Helping organizations bridge the gap between structured change management frameworks and the individual experiences that determine whether change truly takes hold. While frameworks and assessments are valuable, they often overlook the personal nature of change, leaving those who struggle most without the support they need. Because employees may hesitate to share openly with HR or management, resistance and disengagement can remain hidden. Kimberly's role is to work directly with individuals—through personalized, one-on-one engagement—to surface concerns, address psychological barriers, and cultivate the motivation necessary for genuine adoption. In doing so, HR and leadership efforts are complemented, ensuring that change is not just managed, but meaningfully embraced across the organization. 


Behaviour is a symptom not a source. Here, the focus is not on superficial solutions that only serve to mask real issues. If your legs kept you from walking, would you settle for crutches—or would you look deeper to uncover and address the true cause? 


It means flexible, creative, context-informed solutions born of knowledge, skills, and experience.  It has many incarnations but, rest assured, it goes well beyond your logo on my slides.


Yes! While clients generally value their privacy, past and present clients, from high-level executives to HR professionals, are available to provide references. If you are serious about exploring a partnership, please just ask.
