“Some people say you can't be great at everything.....They are 100% wrong.
Kim Austin is the total package who helped me professionally and personally. Her programs span from professional development, to team building to nutrition. I’ve been lucky enough to work with her for all 3. She’s engaging, energetic and 100% real. I reach out to her, even now, 10+ years later to see how she can help me and my teams.”

“Kim guided me through what I would consider the most difficult conditions of my leadership journey.
She also guided and coached my direct employees. Prior to working with Kim, I would have considered myself a pretty good manager, but not a strong leader. After working with Kim, and surviving extremely difficult times with her wisdom and guidance, I felt I came out better and stronger as a leader. Kim made me recognize my blind spots. She worked with my team and I on many different areas of development, including managing through changing and disruptive times, working with and managing employees in different generations, and helping find your purpose and meaning in the work you are doing. Kim had a significant impact on not only the leader I am today in the workplace, but also the person I have become.
I will always be indebted to Kim for the time and commitment she so graciously gave me and my team. It was not always under the best circumstances, as companies and organizations today are undergoing tremendous and frequent change, however I always knew everyone would be elevated and experience personal growth when Kim was involved. Kim’s sessions and one on ones always provided a sense of calm and steadiness that things were going to be ok. I would not be the same person I am today had our paths not crossed. I still seek her guidance and advice even though I have moved on to other leadership roles. She has become a life coach for me, and I know she will continue to have this kind of impact in the future as she touches the lives of more people."

“I built a new team in an organization with exceptionally strong values and methodologies and great diversity.
I had to make sure we built team spirit and coherence, the DiSC training really helped us level set interpersonal relationships and expectations and was a foundation for our success afterward! Besides, Kim's sparkling personality helps all participants lose their reservations and inhibitions, increasing the learning momentum exponentially.”

“Kim has facilitated many DiSC and other development sessions for myself and my teams over many years.
Her energy and enthusiasm is infectious, and her flexibility and creativity to apply the DiSC principles to different team environments and objective scenarios is truly impressive. I couldn’t recommend Kim more highly to anyone for their DiSC and other coaching needs.”

“I participated in the Career Conversations and Performance Feedback session facilitated by Kim…
and had such a great experience that I felt it deserved unsolicited feedback, especially in this time window of mid-year reviews.
I picked up several new and reinforcing tips
The conversation from the participants, facilitated gracefully by Kim, was excellent and very useful
I came away with some very interesting observations about my management peers
Probably most beneficial, and perhaps unbeknownst to herself, Kim demonstrated most perfectly how to handle repeated, off-topic venting (related to “the bell curve”) from the participants. I definitely took away many mental notes on how to effectively listen and acknowledge such venting, making the “expressors” feel like they have been heard.”
