I have personally benefited from Kimberly's inspired coaching. She helped me refocus, recalibrate and renew at a critical transition in my life. Her steady, non-intrusive coaching style has helped me stay on track. She is the rare professional with both skill and heart. I recommend her without hesitation. -Nancy Jo Steetle, NJS Associates, Maryland
The coaching process is such a magical experience. I never thought that changing just one area of my life, could so profoundly impact the rest of my life in such an extraordinary way. - Cynthia Cruz, Nurse, Maryland
Kimberly, you are awesome. As a coach, you did everything you needed to do to get me to the point I am right now. You are encouraging, sincere, helpful, warm, and your sense of humor makes it a joy to speak with you. You, my friend, are definitely in the right profession. During my career coaching sessions, Kimberly asked me pointed questions that, once answered, ultimately revealed my true passions in life and led me to chase those same passions in a career. It was a challenging and rewarding process, as I learned a lot about myself and gained the confidence to go after what I wanted in a job. I am proud to be one of Kimberly Bowen’s success stories. - Emily F, Colorado
Yesterday was beyond a doubt the most interesting conversation I've had in awhile and the best part it was all about me…and that's a good thing! Coach Kimberly doesn’t just make me feel that it’s all about me - it REALLY is all about me and that's a first! Kimberly's way of coaching is all about you the individual, and really asks you to dig deep. - Bonnie R, Maryland
Coaching has been very positive and user-friendly. If you're stuck, it will get you unstuck.Kimberly's ability to 1. help me find my way again, 2. re-frame some of the experiences in my life, and 3. based on her experience with many other women, she is a good mirror -- able to identify unique character qualities that are present in me, but I am so used to that I don't see them anymore and am unaware that they are unique. With (Kimberly's) help and the exercises she gave me, I began to "see color" again. She's very supportive and empathetic, and helps me re-frame issues. - Ashley Y, Maryland
I was in crisis and needed help. My daughter led me to Kimberly Bowen, a career and life coach. A crisis is an opportunity for real change. Coaching was the best thing I ever did for myself. It's okay to have time to figure out what you want. You jumped started me and guided me through a very difficult time. Your coaching helped me to identify what I want to achieve in my career and what I can achieve has been invaluable. - Jessica D, Maryland
Kimberly was my coach for several months. I was successful in attempts to clarify my goals. I had some career goals as well as personal goals. I am now married to the man of my dreams and we have been sailing the Caribbean (after a picture perfect wedding this past June) for the past seven months. My husband and I have had a fabulous Christmas with family members from both sides and have worked on joining our blended families together in our retirement. He is a young retiree (62) and I am even younger ( 55). It was important for me to clarify my goals as I felt "stuck" and Kimberly was very good with her help. She is enthusiastic and good about getting you on task. She has a vision that I lacked to focus on my goals and bask in my accomplishments. I was happy with the things we worked on and hope that others will benefit from her talents. - Sue S,Maryland
Kimberly helped me with confidence and focusing my interests. The hardest part was figuring out my skills. Kimberly told me that most baby boomers are going to be working, whether by choice or necessity. My age doesn't bother me anymore. - Janice B, Maryland
With Kimberly's insight, patience and guidance, my career life is back on track. I've been wanting to work with a coach for a long time and I'm glad I waited and worked with Kimberly. She is efficient, energetic and fun! - Shirley B, Maryland
Several months ago I relocated, and found myself faced with the daunting task of seeking new employment. Kimberly's expertise has been invaluable in assisting me with this process. She has encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone, and inspired me to embrace the idea of limitless possibilities. With Kimberly's guidance, I look forward to discovering a career that is a perfect fit. - Debbie Paradise, MSW, Florida
I wanted to write and thank you for the time you spent with me. You entered my life during a very difficult time. I had just left my very unique job of six years as Program Director for a large therapeutic riding program (not much need for one of those in the job market) which I loved. I felt so overwhelmed by my feelings of loss, of friends, money, responsibility, direction and the relief of spending more time with my son and husband. Meeting you was the best thing that could have happened to me at that time. You gave me the direction and tools i needed to start over, the understanding that it is OK to put family over career and the encouragement to be brave, strong and not afraid to start over. Thank you for giving me these gifts. I have started my own business, love working at home around my son's nap schedule, spending time with my family and friends (who knew people did that?) and taking time out for myself. Thank you for all of your encouragement, understanding and time spent brainstorming with me! - Kerrie Mansfield, Owner, Celebrating Friends, Maryland

It's hard to believe you can start a whole new life when you're 45 years old. Thanks again for your coaching skills, faith and kindness! - Barbara L, Maryland
