Kim Coulthurst brings both business and human services perspectives to her 20 years of management and consulting. She has trained and coached hundreds of people of all ages in the private and public sectors. She has partnered with individuals and teams to nurture effective, healthy organizations, from businesses to schools. In her work, Kim draws from a range of disciplines including behavioral psychology, instructional systems design, organizational development, systems theory, project management and human resources management.

Kim started her human services career with the City of Oakland where she launched two new and innovative programs: Camp Read-a-Lot and Team Oakland. Her six years at the City were followed by four years consulting in project management and event planning. She was lured away from consulting by a fledgling nonprofit organization called HOME/Alternatives in Action. There, she had opportunities to be a member of a self-managed executive team, train Oakland Public School teachers, and grow a micro-enterprise incubator.  Kim was compelled to return to consulting by her desire to support adults who strive to serve community with authenticity.

Education:
Kim has a Bachelors of Arts degree from Mills College. She holds two certificates from California State University East Bay in Advanced Human Resources Management and Nonprofit Management. She also has specialized training in Performance Management, Nonviolent Communication, and Participatory Decision-Making.
