Kim’s philosophy Your values not only indicate what is most important to you but also drive your behaviors and decision making to ultimately steer you in a specific direction. When your values aren’t aligned with the organization you are in, or the specific work you do, you find yourself off course. There is a sense of feeling lost or exhausted from navigating incredibly strong headwinds. My top values are empowerment and freedom (financial and time) which is why I love working with people who want to create alignment of their values with the work they do, so they are empowered to create a life and career they love.
