Portfolio · Coaching05

Coaching from someone who has held the title, not just studied it.

One-on-one coaching for executives and rising leaders stepping into new scope, new pressure, and new versions of themselves.

Kim C. Shaw during a one-on-one executive coaching session on Zoom.

Kim brings her full personality to the coaching experience. Her approach is candid and results-focused, but it is also warm, energetic, and often filled with laughter. Clients value having the space to do serious leadership work without the experience feeling stiff or clinical.

The Work

Coaching works when the coach has actually stood where you’re standing. I coach executives through the moments that don’t show up in a job description: the promotion that outpaces your confidence, the team that’s testing you, the culture you’re expected to fix without the authority to do it.

My approach is candid, constructive, and results-focused. We name what’s actually happening, build the muscle to lead through it, and hold the standard until it becomes who you are, not just what you do.

My coaching approach strengthens self-awareness, sound judgment, accountability, confidence, and the ability to lead others effectively.

In Their Words

“I first approached Kim looking for coaching on practical exercises for crafting introductions, responses, and building relationships. It was a specific request, but as soon as I had a discovery call with her, she quickly understood that what I was asking for was not what I needed. She immediately saw beneath the surface and identified the root cause of my problems. After creating a plan that allowed me to leverage my strengths, she supported me where I needed help outside the plan, providing resources and tools to accelerate my learning. If you are looking for professional coaching and don’t know where to start, Kim is your person!”
