Corporate and Creative Writing

About

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.

In 2006, I launched KBM Coaching & Consulting LLC focusing on empowering others towards professional fulfillment, Now, blending my career history and experience as a corporate and creative writer, I’m excited to finally pursue writing full-time.

This very enlightening experience was great for my overall perspective and helped me to think of new ways to approach goals, think about what I want and how to get there. I would highly recommend working with Kim, as it has been a great experience for me.

I was immediately drawn to Kim’s high energy, highly engaging presence and approach to helping others. She is extremely quick, sharp and perceptive and that has helped me navigate choppy waters in my career and personal approach to life in general.

Brent LaLonde

As a business professional lost in the sea of job boards, online portals, and networking, Kim was exactly what I needed. Since I have made the decision to work with Kim my confidence has soared, I’ve had multiple interviews and even job offers! My appreciation for her abilities and her gift for coaching is off the charts.

Kim has really helped me maintain perspective on the job search process, find confidence in my experience and articulate the value I bring to any organization.

Working with Kim has been a phenomenal experience. She has helped me fine-tune my professional goals and develop an action plan for reaching them. She is willing to ask the tough questions and exceptionally skilled at coaching to find the answers. I highly recommend Kim for anyone looking to reclaim or redesign a career.

Kelley Monterrusso

Kim is an energetic, knowledgeable dedicated career coach. She helped me uncover my story, my “IT” factor and opened my mind to my potential. I recommend Kim to anyone needing career guidance, those looking to transition industries or just those who need a boost in their current endeavor.
