Kimberly, you are such a gem! Taking your course on career and life planning was not only truly helpful, but also a really wonderful experience. I looked forward to our meetings, and I found the exercises and your guidance quite thought-provoking. Working with a cohort gave me the chance to develop relationships with other women who were in a similar place in their lives. This made the process even more meaningful. Your caring and generous nature made me feel comfortable and safe during what could have been a difficult process. And you know so much! Throughout the sessions, you helped me think about who I am, what I want for my life and gave me the confidence to pursue new opportunities. What could be a bigger gift than that? I will always be grateful for this class and for you!

Kimberly’s course on career planning was eye-opening to me.  Having her there to guide me through the different and complex layers of learning about who I really am as a person, how others perceive me and what I want out of my life and career was incredibly helpful.  I have spent years spinning about what my next chapter will be and have felt mostly stuck, but this process helped to “unstick me.”  It has helped me to organize my thoughts and desires in a meaningful and practical way.  I feel like now I have the tools to evaluate opportunities and to take risks on new ventures.  Although this process was not easy at times, and surprisingly emotional, Kimberly was such a cheerleader and through her sessions really helped coax out what maybe was hiding in me and, most importantly, helped me confront head on the barriers I have been putting in the way of realizing my next life and career chapter.  Most of all, I felt seen and heard by Kimberly.  She created a safe space to brainstorm ideas and possibilities.

Dr. Perttula is an amazing and consummate professional.  Her expertise, professionalism, and genuine passion for helping others shines through in every aspect of her work.  I can’t tell you how many people came up to me after the retreat and talked about how they had never been through a training like Dr. Perttula’s and how transformative the experience was. I am eagerly looking forward to the next opportunity with her!

I started working with Kimberly when I recognized that my current professional role was not “fitting” me any longer. Her guidance and insights have allowed me to recognize and leverage my authentic interests, strengths and challenges. Kimberly has helped me to navigate personal barriers and professional conversations as I craft and shape my career to align with my goals at my current stage of life. She will meet you where you are but challenge you to think out of the box as you pursue the future you desire.

Kimberly’s group course sparked confirmation in the journey I’m starting. In a world that tells us ‘no,’ Kimberly shouts ‘yes!’ She’s the guide that shows that all is possible and is within us. She wants us to go beyond the dream - to start laying the groundwork, to building the structure, to realizing our goals. Kimberly’s content-rich course is filled with sage advice that moves one forward - to not just pursue - but actually achieve career fulfillment.
