My creative career spans three decades, including leading a magazine as a contributing editor, writing articles for national magazines, creating marketing materials and content for corporations, small businesses, non-profits, agencies, and consultants, as well as ghostwriting books. As an author, I write non-fiction, children's books, and adult fiction under a pseudonym. I also help fellow authors compose and launch their next bestsellers while keeping their blogs and newsletters flowing. I'm honored to announce my literary citizenship project and blog, Books Uplift, has become a "bestseller" in its own right (so to speak;).
Before I focused solely on my writing, assisting authors, and creating content for clients, my professional experience included human resources, executive coaching (PCC), counseling, publishing, and learning and development. For 20 years, I’ve had the good fortune to help career professionals realize their true potential and organization leaders drive engagement. I’ve been fortunate enough to be interviewed by CNN Business, the Moving Forward Podcast, and the CDS Podcast, and quoted in Entrepreneur Magazine.
I hold a Master’s degree (MA) in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and a Bachelor’s degree (BS) in Business Administration, and I was once licensed as a Counseling Psychologist in Texas. My craft training includes courses and certifications in change management, technical writing, proposal writing, book development, and line editing.
Creative Highlight? Picture in US Weekly, 2007, of Julia Roberts receiving my children’s book as a baby shower gift.
As the Senior Vice President of People Services at “Herman Miller” and then as a founder and principal of both “ARIA Leadership Coaching & Consulting” & “INSIGHT Action Learning Group”, I’ve had the honor and privilege of working with Kim Monaghan in various capacities… most recently as a freelance content creator, writer, and advisor.
Kim’s work is creative, substantive, engaging, and infinitely readable. She is keenly aware of trending topics and provided sage counsel on what would (and would not) resonate with our market/client base.
Kim’s insight and expertise is always timely, relevant and practical. As a writer, she communicates her ideas clearly and compels the reader to action.
I would absolutely recommend Kim as a writer and editor, and I look forward to reading her freelance work.
Kim is adept at taking an expert's deep insights and presenting them in a way that is accessible to the general public. She also goes above and beyond to learn about a subject before creating a piece of content. Those two skills result in pieces that advance a reader's knowledge of a topic, no matter how new they are to it. If you want to share your expertise with a wider audience, I highly recommend working with Kim!
