InnerCompass and Kim Marshall

       As the principal of InnerCompass Coaching, Kim Marshall serves a wide variety of clients, ranging from manager – and director – level employees, to consultants, coaches, and entrepreneurs. Kim also works with professionals in transition. What all these clients have in common is a commitment to reflection and personal learning as foundations for transformative action, professional success, and personal satisfaction.

      Kim's coaching support helps people and organizations create results. Her line management experience includes her work as Director of Admissions at Outward Bound, where she generated 20% increases in enrollments, stabilized staff turn-over, transformed departmental morale and inter-departmental relations, and initiated inter-school cooperative alliances.

      Later, in senior management as the school-wide Program Director, while overseeing quality and safety in programs spanning four states, Canada, and Mexico, she initiated a fundamental shift in organizational culture that strengthened program safety and quality.

In both positions, Kim created results through the same framework she uses to coach: thoughtful attention to the big picture, strategic issues, and the creation of a dynamic, reflective learning environment. She guides clients through shifts in perspective to find that sweet spot where energy flows most naturally – like finding the smooth "V" route in a rapids, or the path of least resistance on a rock-climb. From this place, where contribution to the world and personal satisfaction meet, actions are most effective, and performance improves with grace and ease.

Certified as a Co-Active Coach through the Coaches Training Institute, and a member of the International Coaches Federation, Kim also completed advanced training in Mobius' Organizational Development-based coaching program. She holds degrees in Human Development and Spirituality.

      In addition to her work coaching individuals, Kim serves as a board member and frequent facilitator with TeamBuilders, Inc, and works with other experience-based training and development firms from around the country to deliver programs to clients from a variety of industries.
