Interrupting the pattern between event and reaction is one of the most challenging things we’ll learn… and the one that will have the biggest impact on our lives. Let me paint a picture for you. You’re working from home. It’s been a challenging day where a team member missed a deadline and you needed to pick up the slack. Then, an upset client calls. They’re…

BE-ing Present this Holiday Season
The holidays can be a challenging time for so many of us. My hope is that we’re able to make those special moments expand and get richer. Here are so questions and tips and tricks to help you be, and give the gift of, presence this season.
How to grow your business
One of the questions that I get all the time as a consultant is, “Kimberley, how do I grow my business?” Well, I can help you there. But there are a couple things that I want to share with you first before we get into it – and they’re all connected to help you find answers. “How do I grow my business?” is such a…
An Entrepreneur’s Daily Routine
Build our businesses, write invoices, do inventory, walk the dog, put out fires, go to the gym, spend time with the family – there are often a million and one things on an entrepreneur’s daily to-do list, and not enough hours in the day to do it all. We all want to get way more done in less time. An effective daily routine can help…
Confessions of a Recovering Independent Woman
It wasn’t so long ago that I was hauling a queen mattress off the truck. And despite the pouring rain and no help, I was determined to get this oversized, awkard necessity into my first apartment. Okay, maybe it was a while ago (I age gracefully!), but determined 19-year-old me was so committed and so clear that even if someone offered to help me, I…

Leaving the nest: learning to embrace hope and fear
“To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is to be always in no-man’s-land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh. To live is to be willing to die over and over again.” -Pema Chodron Three months ago, I embarked on the next leg of my leadership journey. It was…
Leading from the heart: appreciating inspiration
“Grandpa, one day I want to grow up to be just like you,” I said, smiling up at my grandfather. My 5-year-old self truly meant it back then, but I had no idea just how much more true that statement would become. Many of us have one person in our family or outside network that we look up to more than others. For me, it…
Top 5 “Do’s and Don’ts” of Starting a Business
There are so many aspects to starting a business. If you don’t have a business background, figuring out where to start and what to do first can be really difficult. But, at the end of the day, it doesn’t have to be that way. There’s so much ambiguity when you first start out. Having a better idea about what to do (and what not to…
Getting “un-stuck”
Today, I want to talk to you about getting “un-stuck”. If you’ve found yourself struggling career-wise, the big problem that you’re probably facing is either one of two things. One, you’re trying to figure out what exactly it is that you want. Or two, you’re experiencing a paralyzing fear of failure. I know how it feels; I’ve been there myself. There was a time not…
How to find your purpose
Knowing your purpose brings clarity when deciding which path to choose. When you’re on the right path, work truly becomes easy, and you can make choices with confidence.

How do I boost my productivity? This question is huge. It’s something I get asked all the time – and, with the multiple hats that we wear in our lives, it is one thing we really need to master if we want to show up fully, run a successful business, or start a successful business or side hustle. We’ve got our mom/dad hat, we’ve got…
