As AI shapes how we work (and live), the technology no one is talking about is our intuition, the internal operating system behind taste, discernment and judgment, some of our greatest assets in the workplace. My talks and workshops help people access and trust their instincts in how they lead and communicate.

Nearly two decades in Internal Comms.

I’ve led and been part of Internal Communications teams for brands like Microsoft, Under Armour, Vans and Old Navy. In-house and as a consultant, I’ve counseled leaders, built Internal Comms functions from scratch, and helped companies tell their story internally and rally their people around it.

Why this matters for leaders right now

We’re outsourcing so much of our judgment, decision making and thinking to AI.

Which makes your intuition your differentiator.

This is a major skill to be trained.

  1. 01

    It’s why you’re incredible at what you do.

  2. 02

    It’s what makes you hard to replace.

  3. 03

    It’s why everyone wants to work with you.

  4. 04

    It’s why you’re sought out and listened to as a strategic counselor.

What I mean by your internal technology

What makes you, you.

  • Your judgment
  • Your discernment
  • Your instincts
  • Your energy
  • The way you counsel
  • How it feels to work with you

It’s the operating system behind your taste, discernment and judgment. It’s probably the main reason you got hired in the first place, and the thing that wasn’t even on the job description.

Signature topics

Mix and match to fit your team and your event.

01

Read the room

We’re all energy readers. Sensing what’s coming before it happens, navigating the politics, and knowing what will land, and with whom. Like any muscle, it just needs to be trained.

02

Trust your gut

Have you ever counseled a leader based on a gut feeling? Bringing your instincts into the room, and finding the words for them.

03

Mine for the gold

Your story mining session. This is how you uncover the real gold you bring to the table: the themes, narratives and pull-throughs that stay consistent across your work and your life, and what people have shared back with you.

04

Get clear on what’s next

Bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to go. This is how you use the skills and abilities you already have to help get you there.

“Kim is an extraordinary leader whose influence extends well beyond the work itself. She has a remarkable gift for recognizing potential in others, inspiring confidence, and helping people achieve more than they thought possible. The strongest leaders leave a lasting impact on both organizations and people. Kim does both.”
TalishaWorked with Kim at Under Armour
“Kim has a rare ability to challenge conventional thinking in a way that inspires others. She’s one of those people who makes you want to try the out-of-the-box idea because she has a way of making the impossible feel achievable. She elevates the work, makes the people around her better, and brings an energy that makes even the most demanding days enjoyable.”
