What Our Clients Say



This training was unbelievably helpful. I feel very empowered now.

Senior Director OEM, Automotive Industry

Kim coached and mentored me after I relocated from Shanghai China to Pittsburgh PA. Working with Kim in that 8 months has proven to be pivotal and rewarding experience. Kim provided a structured methodology to explore my personal values, as well as an open environment to exchange perspectives. Kim listens, probes, asks emphatic questions, and guides me through the ‘cultural shock’. The discovery obtained by working with Kim has led to a greater self-awareness that I will value throughout my life. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Kim PS: Kim is such an elegant and fashionable lady, I can also learn from Kim how to graceful balance the career, the life and the personal image.

Best leadership development program I have ever participated in.

Senior Developer Pharmaceutical Industry

“Relocating can be challenging: you have to adapt and learn a lot in a short period of time, and Pam made it possible for us. Working with her allowed us to feel very comfortable in our new environment, in a few weeks only! Pam helped us being up to speed in our new life, providing the necessary elements to understand the culture and the communities around us, and giving us the keys to interact and be integrated successfully, both on personal and professional aspects. I can’t thank Pam enough for her work to make our relocation easy and successful.”

Yon Abad Director, CWT Hotel Solutions Americas


Thank you so much for your help, Kim! Today I learned much more than I expected. That’s important for my life! I think your job is more a mission; you gave to me more that the training... you share(d) your life experience. I really appreciate that.

Pam and Nicole were incredibly helpful as my family made the move from Minneapolis to Switzerland. They not only helped me prepare for the change in cultural dynamics of living in Switzerland and working with a global team, but also helped everyone in my family make the transition too. We have 3 young children, and I am forever grateful for the extra attention and care they offered the kids to help ease the transition pains of new home, new school, and new friends. They helped ease their anxiety and replaced it with a spark of adventure. As my kids would say, “we love Pam so much, we wish we could marry her.”

Honoring Different Ways of Knowing

Honoring Different Ways of Knowing I recently returned from a visit to Bali, where I was immersed in the culture, people and a land that opened my mind and heart to more expansive ways of being and knowing.  Rarely do we have an opportunity to step away from our day-to-day lives and truly open to new ways […]

The Lost Art of Storytelling

The Lost Art of Storytelling This summer I had the opportunity to work with a young man from Nigeria whose stories were quite thought provoking and validated our societal need to listen more generously. In our hurry to achieve and accomplish, many of us have lost the capacity for taking in much more than sound bites.
