Kim started her own company, Vivid Performance Group, after years in corporate America. Drawing from her background in training and developing medical device sales reps, sales leaders, and those in marketing and scientific roles, and her own personal ups and downs in management, she applies her passion for human performance improvement to the so called “soft skills”.

Her mission is to help employees, teams and leaders work better together in what she calls the business sandbox…because to quote Kim “employees get hired for what they know and can do and fired for who they are and how they act”. Her vision is a world where managers and leaders are capable of creating effective teams and coaching them to greatness.

By using proven assessment, training, coaching and facilitation methods that reveal and develop individual and team abilities, Kim helps create employees that are better able to communicate, innovate, solve, team-up, lead and manage, so that the business mission becomes their business focus.

Kim lives in a St. Louis suburb with her fiancé Jeff and pooches Pop who is a cairn terrier and Newport who is a maltipoo. A little known fact about Kim is that when she was younger she loved a thrill. She’s taken trapeze lessons from the Flying Walendas, raced around the Daytona speedway, completed a tandem skydive, and performed acrobatic sailplaning.

These days- when she’s not working- her feet are on terra firma, and you can find her at the gym lifting weights which she says is a love/hate thing, or doing body combat-which is definitely a “love” thing.

Her favorite quote from Neale Donald Walsch sums her “why”. She wants to help you “become the next greatest version of the grandest vision that you ever held about who you are”.
