In addition, she serves as a mediator for federal agencies through the Seattle Federal Executive Board. Her workplace cases have ranged from helping two individuals work through conflict to helping work teams over a period of time to improve productivity and communication.

Kim believes that learning is about having fun and gaining experience and confidence by feeling and doing. In addition, her goal is that participants are able to work through specific challenges during her workshops and/or apply the tools and skills learned immediately back in the workplace.
