Kim McDonald Storytelling expert and startup strategy junkie

Like many entrepreneurs it is hard to think someone outside can deliver enough value to compete for our time or budget. That desire to do things ourselves and our way defines us as entrepreneurs. However, from the moment I met Kim, I found myself wanting to spend more time with this insightful and creative person to help us learn more about ourselves and how to better connect to our customers. Storytelling4 Entrepreneurs was a simply refreshing way to step back and look at our business from the foundation. Kim’s contribution to our company has certainly accelerated our growth path and sharpened our focus.

I met Kim when she hired ME as a wardrobe consultant. After five minutes of talking with her, I knew I wanted to hire HER to consult with her about my small business. Her passion for the subject of entrepreneurship is infectious. Working with Kim really opened my eyes to the untapped opportunities that were available to me so that I could take my business to the next level. Aside from the wealth of knowledge she possess, she is simply a joy to work with. Her positive demeanor is infectious - but she's not sugar-sweet. She is a straight-shooter. She's honest and reliable. I would highly recommend Kim to anyone looking to jump-start their business.

By taking my skills, interests, and personality type into account, Kim was able to delve into her knowledge of how businesses work to determine what areas I might be interested in. Her expertise in the business arena was extremely thorough and helpful in guiding me in the right direction, and after changing my application strategy I was able to find a job that suited me perfectly! I would definitely recommend her to anyone -- her knowledge into the structures of businesses and ability to point people or businesses in the right direction based on that is unparalleled.
