Power to Persevere
Kim says life sometimes punches you in the face with adversity. No planning or preparation can script what one will do with sudden events. Rather it is how you live and carry it through your home and working life. The decisions you make will not only affect your future but others around you. We are all shaped by years of growth and molded by social development and miniscule events. It takes balance, patience and strength to learn the process of overcoming adversity. Your decisions will influence the outcome what you want. In the end it takes one’s own desire to seek the tools needed to surpass adversarial current events in life to await the next. Hear how the Carpenter Story solidified his mold.

See how perseverence, and the decisions he made along the way created a positive process that led to the making of a motion picture and the writing of the book. Kim's says in trials you have to have courage, you need to listen, exercise patience, and know that any decision you make along the way can forever effect the outcome of not only yourself but to those around you.
A Listening to Learn Leader
Every person is a leader regardless of position. With that understanding, Kim addresses the challenges directed towards all leaders. Listening and learning are the two key tools in leading. But how close are we listening. It is one thing to know what you hear but it is another to truly understand what is being said and the variable that are a part of it. Learn the true meaning of listening to learn the true comprehension of leading others…
Courage to Change
Explore the qualities of a leader and teams during transition periods. While change is sometimes feared, it provides enormous potential for growth and re-invention. As Kim states, ”there is no progress without conflict” and the best practices in change are the education of the stakeholders to buy into ownership of positive outcomes. Here also how his trials in life transcended onto him becoming a better leader and how ones own trials can make you a better leader.
