Kim understands the challenges of large organizations and uses her systems thinking expertise to inspire leaders to see the forest vs. the trees. She was influenced early in her career by Dr. Peter Senge, author of The Fifth Discipline. Kim’s work in systems thinking and life-long learning was included in Senge’s follow-up book, The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook(pg. 502-504). Kim has been training leaders at all levels with the tools and art of systems thinking, inspiring them to integrate this approach to their personal and professional lives.
She often speaks at workshops and conferences about leadership, systems thinking, and executive communications.
