Testimonials
Dr. Kim Burns was amazing to work with. She is such a kind soul. Our team worked with Dr. Burns for several months developing a strategic plan for our college. She guided us with knowledge and compassion, took our chaotic ideas, and presented them back to us in a meaningful way. Working with Dr. Burns was a pleasure!

Kim was a perfect match for us because she fully embraced an inclusive strategic planning process. She was well received by all members of the college, and my board. She was incredibly flexible and accommodated me as I requested several last-minute changes to process, scheduling, and content. Kim tactfully remained a guide on the side, while still offering insights and support. Most importantly, she kept us moving. These past 8 months have been wildly busy at the college. She made sure we stayed on task. I am very pleased with the process and the final product.

Kim runs a group encouraging women to embrace inclusive, brave, and badass approaches to their leadership. She’s an effective facilitator who allows people to start where they are and figure out which directions they’d like to move in for the future.

Coaching with Kim was eye opening. Kim asks the hard questions, which caused me to reflect and find my truth. It was a wonderful experience and has allowed me to forge a path that will lead to happiness.
Jennifer Levesque
A colleague suggested that I work with Kim. I didn’t know what to expect from coaching and was slightly apprehensive. As an introvert, I thought that this might push the boundaries of my comfort level. I couldn’t have been more wrong. During coaching, I learned how to articulate my values, goals, and professional worth. I defined what aspects of my professional life gave me energy, and which left me feeling depleted. I now feel more confident in my abilities, and as a result, have become a better communicator. I can’t thank Kim enough for helping to bring some order and clarity into my professional life. Kim is an amazing coach, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her.

This retreat was a wonderful opportunity to step out of my physical and emotional comfort zones and appreciate who I am as a whole person without judgement. Women especially need supportive, inclusive environments that allow us to embrace our unique selves rather than attempt to change who we are. This retreat did that unapologetically.
