The Discovery Session includes the cost of the full Clifton-Strengths Assessment and Report, along with tools to help guide you to create an action plan.

What they're saying
I reached out to Kim for some career coaching. I was in the middle of a career change and uncertain of my path. That is when she introduced me to Gallup Strength Finders. I admit my results initially were challenging for me to accept. However, with Kim’s insights and ability to pull back my expectations & shame, she was able to empower me with knowledge about what we now call my, "Super Powers." Take my advice, if you ever have the opportunity to work with Kim, take it, and you can thank me later.

Kim Newman coached me using the Gallup Strength Finders method. While I had not been tested with Gallup before, I found Kim to be incredibly insightful, with a keen eye for helping me understand my strengths in a newfound way. Her style is very self-aware, and she put me at ease right away. I learned some things about my skills and approach to work which have helped me on my journey to be a better executive recruiter. I would highly recommend Kim.

I had the privilege to work alongside Kim Newman over the past three years on a series of complex and multi-faceted change management project initiatives for the Texas Department of Transportation. Kim joined the project and quickly worked with the project team and stakeholders to assess the organization’s readiness to tackle the operational and business processes being transformed with the consolidation of five campuses. Kim is down to earth, authentic, and extremely personable which enabled her to quickly build trust and confidence amongst the various teams that were at different levels in their overall commitment and acceptance of the changes being introduced. As a trusted professional advisor, Kim was often sought out for her knowledge and expert observations which helped TxDOT push through a myriad of conflicts and difficult conversations. Kim was an agent for executive coaching and sponsorship, working in lockstep with executive leaders to enable them to drive sponsorship in their respective areas of responsibility. TxDOT’s success in consolidating their Austin Metropolitan Area operations and business transformation are in large part due to Kim’s unwavering commitment towards helping the organization succeed.
