i’m kim, and I’m all about people.
your people, to be exact.
As the workplace evolves and expectations expand, as do the highest needs of the people on whom you so heavily rely to do + deliver the work. (And let’s be honest, there is no shortage of work.)
In today’s workplace, soft skills matter. How we communicate with others matters. How we lead and execute matters. Without these essential skills, trust is lost. Communication breaks down. Performance declines. Engagement wains.
Sound familiar? Let’s change that.
I’ll Fuel your talent THROUGH professional development initiatives and solutions that inspire people to show up and connect in new WAYS .
As an expert facilitator — knowledgeable + experienced in corporate dynamics and what makes teams thrive — I instruct, guide + support others to take accountability and action in their professional lives to achieve their individual and collective goals.
How? By focusing on two performance fueling areas. 1. Professional Development 2. Corporate Wellness. Fully fueled - the whole person.
I lead highly engaging, interactive and energetic sessions for your group, with the long reputation of adding so much value to managers, leaders, employees, and teams that not even one participant thinks the session has been a waste of their limited and valuable time — but instead can hardly wait to apply what they’ve learned.
“From the first moment my team stepped into a Kim Austin facilitated session, their energy changed. They were engaged, they were motivated, they were growing! The best part- it didn’t just last during the session. They brought the energy out of the room and began applying it immediately. The teams Kim has worked with are one of the highest performing teams in the company! ”
I hold a Bachelors Degree from the University of Mary Washington with a focus on Organizational Development, and am an iPEC Certified Professional Coach (CPC). iPEC is an accredited program by the ICF (International Coaching Federation). I also have completed further trainings + certifications in a variety of workplace assessments and tools, and am highly skilled and experienced in:
moving individuals + teams forward to high performance BY tapping into the power of individual strengths and talents to connect people with their purpose + your organizational goals.
I have held various progressive talent management and development positions across many industries: technology, financial services and telecommunications over the last 25 years. In addition to my corporate development work, I am also a Certified Functional Nutritionist and Restorative Wellness Practitioner. Exceptional performance happens when people bring their most optimal self into the workplace.
