Kim did a great job crafting a leadership program which was meaningful enough to be applicable for our organization, yet broad enough to appeal to our multicultural environment and the real genius of her production was including internal, non-HR types to share their stories "from the trenches." This perfectly illustrates her unpretentious, curious, and collaborative nature. She's a rare person in a much-needed field and I welcome the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

Kim has an innate ability to focus and see critical issues at their root, but simultaneously understand the “bigger picture”. She is energetic, clear thinking, and an effective and engaging communicator, which has helped her successfully manage global projects, training, and critical initiatives that advance the business and the company culture…Add to that her positive, upbeat personality and empathetic ear, Kim is someone I (you) can trust and count on for insight and advice.

I have had the privilege of successfully working with Kim Kavala in many senior roles at several Fortune 500 companies. She is the consummate professional who brings in-depth business and talent development experience to any engagement. Kim is extremely knowledgeable in executive coaching, leadership development, and organizational development. She can quickly partner with leaders to align leadership solutions to drive business strategies and execute them for outstanding results. I have great professional and personal trust in Kim, and she is the first person I would consult with for any high profile business initiative. 

I worked with Kim for over five years. She developed and executed strategies for organizational growth in two dynamic, high-growth companies. She created leadership training while building a staff who could further flesh out this work. She knew how to influence executives at the highest level as well as connect with the administrative staff, and everyone in between. She focused on meeting the business needs and created measurement strategies that showed business improvements based on her strategies. Finally, Kim was the kind of leader that someone on her team told me she would "lay down on the railroad tracks for her". She is easy to talk to, and, most importantly, she will tell you the truth. You can grow immensely when you work with Kim.

Kim is one of the strongest leaders I have worked for and alongside in my 10+ year career. While she is extremely well versed in many things, she has a knack for developing executive and senior leaders. Whether she is zooming out to create an organizational-wide development strategy or zooming in to provide 1:1 coaching, she always makes a positive impact and provides invaluable insights. Any leader who gets to partner with Kim is lucky!
