Nichola
Strategy: Core capability training and mentoring for start-up business – establishing short and long-term goals and networking opportunities.
Outcome: ‘Kim was recommended to me by several friends. I found her very approachable and she ‘got’ me. She understood what I wanted to do and where I wanted to take my business. She also kept me accountable – she was like my task master! Without Kim I wouldn’t have progressed as much as I have in the time that I have.’
Nichola TeKiri, Creative Director and Founder
Social Labour Supply Ltd
Strategy: Redefine and restructure organisation and goals following impact of Covid-19 and set new strategies to enable the business to shift from recovery to growth mode.
Outcome: ‘Our team are quite structured by nature but as a result of the big lofty goals, we were running left, right and centre – especially with all the other outside commitments (e.g. family, study, etc). So having Kim to organise key areas of the business that needed our attention has supported our business growth and confidence in her as our confidant and extended whanau of the business.’
Courtenay Hurt-Suwan, Managing Director
Rawhitiroa Photography
Strategy: Develop a high-level growth plan and framework the future direction of the business while establishing USPs and providing network opportunities.

Te Rawhitiroa Bosch, Owner
Reo Māori Mai
Strategy: Analyse the impact of Covid on the existing business and provide support and guidance to chart a sustainable pathway forward for current and future growth.
Outcome: ‘I noticed straight away that Kim was really invested in me. It has been great to have a sounding board, a cheerleader, and a mentor. I have gained confidence in myself and my ability to make good choices for my business. Without Kim I might still be playing small, feeling isolated, and struggling to master the basics let alone finding time to dream bigger and brighter.’
Ariana Stevens, Director
Recreate Clothing
Strategy: Provide a sound business structure and initiatives to empower owner to successfully manage next critical phase of business growth.
Outcome: ‘Kim was recommended to me from Ngāi Tahu in 2020. I needed some outside perspective and wisdom to move through the next stage of growth. Kim provides quick communication, is friendly and “real”. She’s also very supportive, a great guide and an encourager; empowering us in valuable reflection to manage the change effectively.’
Erica Gadsby, Founder

Outcome: ‘Kim puts you at ease. She has such a friendly personality which is very easy to engage with. She knows how to get the best out of you and is focused on looking at the big picture. She changed our mindset on how we look at branding, and had great contacts and network opportunities. Kim offers the complete package.’
Mark Eagger, Owner
Nine Thirty Architecture
Strategy: To mentor and advise a young business, anchor clear fundamental business principles to establish short and long-term goals for growth.
Outcome: “We instantly got on well. Kim is so vibrant and comes with such energy. I want to learn as much as I can, so having Kim involved makes things so much easier for us.
She makes sure that you're checking those boxes and hitting goals, charts how we're going to get there and makes sure that we're accountable for it. She’s someone you want to impress and do well for.”
John Hayes, Architectural Designer and Director
Strategy: Build on personal and website branding through LinkedIn, networking, and establishing work-life balance.
Outcome: ‘I got funding and was lucky enough to be part of a wahine cohort at Kim’s Be Empowered Be Inspired workshop for business literacy and foundations in March 2023, which she was running. I’m always looking for new mentors – I’m 19, my friends aren’t running businesses, so in Kim I’ve found the perfect person! She’s very approachable, and energetic in a way that’s contagious. Although my course was funded, I’d pay for Kim’s services anyway. She brings that much value.’
Te Kahukura Boynton, Director and Founder
Salt Aotearoa
Strategy: Restructuring the business to accelerate growth and refiring owner-motivation and confidence.
Outcome: ‘I have a business mentor I can trust, who genuinely wants me to succeed and thrive. She has introduced her own connections to help me with the legal aspects of running a business, including intellectual property protection, and we’ve added new revenue streams such as an online store and more events.
Kim is safeguarding my business, and helping me appreciate the value I need to put on myself and my brand.’
