How it Works
It takes time to find your niche in coaching and mentoring, and after four years of running Inclusive City, our work has naturally evolved into three core areas:
- Leadership Mentoring & Coaching
Supporting Leaders to avoid some of the pitfalls and develop strategic goals in order to deliver better results, developing a clear plan for success and ensuring support required is secured. - Personal Growth Plans
Develop your personal growth plan with goals, personal KPI’s, stretch goals and development requirements to help you achieve your ambitions - Individual Coaching
listening to and helping to identify some of the barriers to personal career growth and defining a plan with clear and achievable goals. Unblocking long held beliefs that can prevent career and personal growth.
Our goal is to always bring out the best in you and unlock your potential.
About Coaching & Mentoring
Coaching and mentoring offer a supportive space to explore your life and career, talk through what’s on your mind, and spot any self‑limiting beliefs that might be holding you back. Coaching helps you reflect and make practical changes, while mentoring adds guidance, shared experience, and encouragement to help you move forward with confidence.
Some of the areas of focus for coaching and mentoring include:
- Asking for what you need to help you develop further
- Ensuring you have a level of comfort around your remuneration
- Getting on top of and managing emotions
- Building confidence to better make your points so they are heard and valued
- Dealing with any blockers in your head from the past
- Building presentation skills in order to enjoy them
- Being able to say No and not feeling guilty
- Not asking for permission – becoming bolder
- Aligning your objectives with overall strategy
- Understanding how to have more strategic meetings/content
- Changing your narrative to become more focused on key issues
What Our Clients Think
Mark Weller
Partner, General and Speciality Insurance – Business and Technology Consulting Alpha FMC Insurance
Working with Kim has encouraged me to take a step back to reflect on what is really important to me, which I have valued highly.
She has undoubtedly helped me progress both personally and professionally in that time and has become a trusted advisor.
During the 6 coaching sessions, Kim helped me analyse my strengths and weaknesses but also to face some difficult realities, which helped me get a better picture of my business and to the understand the skills I already had. Being in a fast-paced industry, you tend to go 100 miles an hour, and it is easy to go into panic mode; however, through these coaching sessions, I have been able to get a better handle on my role, set goals and objectives more clearly, and understand how I am going to achieve them.
Kim has been a mentor and advocate for my career.
There was one particular session that I know has taken me to the next stage in my career. It helped give perspective on my self critical nature and opened my eyes to how others may think. It takes a special coach to help you see outside of your own view. Anyone looking to grow and develop in their professional career I recommend Kim
