Kimberly became my professional coach in August 2020. I am a firm believer in self-improvement. The day you think you have learned it all, you’re done. I’m 20 years into my insurance career. I hit a rut in my career that I couldn’t get out of. I had been a winner before but couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t winning currently. I needed something; I just couldn’t put my finger on it. When I was introduced to Kimberly and our association commenced, she listened carefully and created a trusting environment between us. She presents ideas and solutions that work form me in the way I think and in the way I do. Kimberly is very intuitive to my needs and helps me grow as a person and as a professional. She wears many hats in her position. Advisor, teacher, confidant, friend, councilor…the list is endless. My business continues to grow, and my attitude is better than it has been in years. I highly recommend anyone who needs something in their life/career seek out Kimberly’s coaching assistance.

Coaching came into my business at a very critical time. Operating a food service business in the thick of 2020’s pandemic, I decided I’d better start working smarter or get out of the industry. Kimberly has been an amazing coach and I have grown so much as a business owner through her help and the tools available from Southwestern Coaching. Kimberly still nudges me out of my comfort zone and provides encouragement and support along the way.

Kimberly has done an excellent job at providing tools and techniques and translates them in a way that makes sense for my industry. She has helped me create wonderful systems from hiring to goal tracking. In addition to honing new skills, since beginning coaching I have seen significant revenue increases directly resulting from the work Kimberly has nudged me to do. I can feel the rise in my confidence levels now compared to 2020 and I am so grateful I’ve had Kimberly’s support along this journey.

Immediately after Kim and I started working together, I tore my ACL. And while Kim clearly knows her stuff when it comes to business coaching and development, it has been her life coaching and ability to meet me where I am at that has made her invaluable. She listens exceedingly well and has clearly altered and/or thrown out her agenda in favor of what I have wanted/needed to discuss on more than one coaching call. It would be difficult for me to recommend her highly enough. Thank you Kim!
