She has flown 1,800 hours in the A-10 Warthog, including more than 100 combat missions protecting troops on the ground in both Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2003, Kim was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for Heroism after successfully recovering her battle-damaged airplane after an intense close air support mission in Baghdad.

 

As a senior military leader, Kim has led hundreds of Airmen both at home and abroad in deployed locations and enabled them to succeed in their missions. Kim knows what it takes to be a successful leader, to inspire and empower high-performing teams to achieve success.

 

Kim’s Air Force assignments include leadership roles as a Group Commander, responsible for over 1,000 Air Force personnel in South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. She also served as the Military Assistant to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, advising the number three civilian official in the Department of Defense on national security and defense policy formulation. Kim has also served as the Air Force Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council, a pre-eminent think tank promoting international leadership and engagement. Most recently, she served as the Director of the Center for Character and Leadership Development at the Air Force Academy.

Sara and Kim talk about Kim’s experience, how she knew this is what she wanted since the 5th grade, not accepting “No”, her fears, the great gift of our “wingmen” and “wingwomen”, her now being retired, raising her children, her book and so much more. It is an inspiring conversation about being a woman in a man’s world, keeping your eye on what you want, how we handle being in highly intense life-threatening situations. And mostly about pursuing what you are passionate about and believing in YOU.
