As a storyteller, Goddard reminds audiences of The Golden Rule and shares a few others that she feels are golden. Kim Goddard has a way of bringing to life the people, organizations and ideas on the fringe that are creating the future. She reveals the most practical and high-impact ways to handle situations and dilemmas adapt and succeed -- redefining how leadership, change, employee/co-worker engagement, organizational culture and accountability are properly done. Goddard’s work is driven by two core questions: How can people change in order to become more accepted in society, adaptable and successful in the environment in which they live? How do we unleash and ignite human potential in more constructive ways?For over two decades, Kim Goddard has used her teaching, writing and speaking to help make people, from all walks of life more confident, polished and determined - and to empower and equip them at every level to make a meaningful impact in their lives.
