Effective Life Coaching & Weight Loss Success Testimonials

Kim is an exceptionally talented life coach who not only helps you to identify your own personal goals, but motivates you to succeed in achieving them! I visited Kim for regular coaching sessions for a number of months and found them to have a profound impact on my life. She encouraged me to think about what I really wanted to achieve (not what other people wanted) and to believe that I deserve success and to make my dreams a reality. Kim also inspired me to believe that anything is possible (provided it is right for me and is what I really want to do).

I was also privileged to join Kim for her retreat to the beautiful city of Cape Town. Kim planned all of the activities carefully and allowed me time to reflect within the stunning environment of the Cape. Besides helping me to focus on my goals for my future, I was able to learn a lot about the area since Kim was able to share her local knowledge with me. She arranged my accommodation and did well to choose a place that not only served delicious breakfasts(!), but was in a lovely residential area of the city.

Today, I continue to utilise the skills that Kim has taught me since I know that her practices work! I have witnessed many positive things happen in my life that would not have occurred had I not gone to Kim for regular sessions. I understand that just because change does not necessarily occur over night, it is easy to give up. However, if I am patient, consistent, take responsibility for my life and follow Kim’s methods, I CAN achieve.

Dear Kim,

I cannot say enough about the work we've done together. You saved my life. I know that sounds dramatic, but you helped me in ways that I really didn't ever envision. Today, I no longer feel wound up like a top about anything. Yes, I get agitated and irritated, but it doesn't last as long as it used to. It's as if the percentage of time I spent agitated is now the time I spend more at peace because I'm now doing and saying things I never did before. Me!

Lots of love,
Diane

Kim Knight's weight- loss program and expatriate truly changed my life! I began coaching with her as an expat, living in South Korea, at a time when I was feeling anxious about my weight, health, and the transition of coming home to Canada. I began her weight-loss program in April, at 74 kilos, and reached my goal weight of 60 kilos only 3.5 months later. Having tried countless programs and always failing, I didn't expect that I could possibly achieve this goal. When I was on the last week of my vacation in Thailand -right before flying home- I reached my goal weight! The best part was that Kim was there to share that moment with me. I'm so grateful to her for inspiring me to ask more of myself and continuing to offer support and coaching. Since I've been back, I've managed to stay at my goal weight and was even asked to model ski clothes for a magazine- never in my wildest dreams did ever think I'd do something like that!!!! Kim's approach is different than anything else out there- it will target and impact every other aspect of your life. I found that once I got started, it just got easier and it has had a positive affect on every aspect of my life.
Thanks Kim!

I decided to go on Kim's retreat to Cape Town in August 2009. It was the BEST decision I could have made! Not only did Kim ensure that I participated in quality coaching sessions every day, she also ensured that I was looked after properly in my accommodation! Kim was also able to show me some of the beautiful sites and tourist attractions in and around Cape Town and share some of her local knowledge with me. Our visits to Robben Island and Cape Point were particularly memorable. The entire experience allowed me to identify my values and establish goals for myself. This was particularly beneficial to me at that time since I had just come out of a relationship and was feeling unsettled. I found myself returning home with a fresh sense of purpose, self-approval and feeling positive. I find that, even now, when I experience a difficulty, I reflect on what Kim taught me. Kim is a truly wonderful lady who is a very gifted life coach. I would thoroughly recommend going on one of her retreats!

When I first met personal life coach Kim Knight I was a deeply frustrated person. My personal growth had been stuck for years and although I appeared to most people to be functioning well, I knew something was very wrong. After a while Kim started coaching me for an hour a week and bit by bit I discovered things about myself I had never even suspected.

She has given me the key to unlocking my blocked potential and helped me to change within some important relationships in my life, so that I have not been growing alone. Our work is continuing and she is unfailingly supportive, professional and insightful. I have great admiration for her and even greater gratitude because without her I would not have opened these new doors.

I contacted Kim Knight in Oct 2005 and agreed to a life coaching contract of 12 weeks. I am now in week 20 and still going strong. The reason I am still coaching with Kim, is not that I haven’t resolved or made progress on what I originally went to her for help with, but that I have made SO much progress, even more than I ever thought possible, that I choose to continue our coaching relationship. I will continue to use coaching to support me in living the best life possible. Now I understand why world class athletes have coaches. They definitely have the skills and talent, but their coach helps them get to the top level in their field. That is what my coach does for me; she helps me be at the world class level in my life.

Life coaching brings a very positive focus and forward movement towards what I want in my life. I feel so positive, inspired and enthused about myself and my life. I have someone who is totally behind me, supporting me to move towards what I want. I know that so much more is possible and I will continue coaching to help me get there. I make much more progress with a coach, than I have ever made on my own or with anyone else’s support.

I am happier, more peaceful, more content, and believe in myself and my abilities more than I ever thought possible. I am amazed at the real changes that have occurred in my life in such a short period of time, changes that I have been wanting for 15 years, but no other method or process helped me achieve.
I can highly recommend coaching to everyone, and especially coaching with Kim. She is supportive, challenging, insightful and a great coach.

"Kim got me started on a weight loss journey that has helped me become more “conscious” of choices that were sabotaging my weight loss which in turn has helped me to make more life affirming choices. Kim creates a space of safety where her clients are able to explore limiting beliefs and “old stories” that have impacted previous attempts to lose weight. She holds a client accountable for the steps that have been agreed upon, establishes measurable goals with the client, and champions a client’s determination to achieve the desired results. Kim creates a strong connection and her approach is very supportive. I am not surprised that she has helped countless individuals change their perspective and lose the weight they hadn’t been able to previously. Thanks Kim!"

The formula is incredibly helpful. Kim, I know I’ve said this to you before and I may have already said this to you last week, but I’ll repeat it. What I’ve learned in our sessions together over the past couple of years feels so concrete; even the words you use such as “tools” is very concrete/tangible. That I can mine an incident, for example, successful or not and come away with a tool for more successful communication still leaves me shaking my head. You’ve made something I thought was a one-off possible again. You’ve shown me that I do have the power.

Olivia Gordon, South Korea

Dear Kim, I feel so lucky to be your client. For losing weight - in one month I have lost 4 kilos, and that makes me so
happy. And for reaching my goals, I start to feel that I am close to achieving some of them. Thanks to you and your questions. They helped me a lot in focusing on what I want exactly. Besides you being in touch with me always.

YES you have made my life! THANK YOU !

LOTS AND LOTS OF LOVE,

Maria Helena Nunes

Hi Kim,

I like the message you sent on your inner critic. I have a very big inner critic and sometimes find it hard to move forward. You would however be very proud of me! On Wednesday I finally confronted Melanie and brought up all the situations in which she has bullied and belittled me. I was able to put a lot of what you said into practise, I did however get a little emotional about it, but on the whole stayed very calm. I used all the examples that I have been writing down for months and she was very surprised. Things have changed a little and time will tell how Melanie responds to anything that has been said. It feels good to put my examples and strategies into practice and move forward.

Thank you.

Yours truly

Jaqueline, Charlotte, NC, USA

Wauw, very powerful and original writing. So much coaching language is copy of copy of copy.... Your message this week was truly spontaneous and original. Very nice work!

Jacinta Hin, Japan

“Hi, Kim, I just wanted to thank you for being there. The great tips you give have been helping me to go through hard times and to achieve goals I never thought I could. You are really a great coach and deserve my deepest thanks. I wanted to let you know I am very impressed with your messages.

Hi Kim, I am reading your latest eBook - "How To Be an Extraordinary Coach - Powerful Tools, Strategies and Techniques" and am very much enjoying and learning from it! Looking forward to the opportunity to have a session with you in the near future.

Jennifer, Ontario, Canada

Kim,

I would love to say I think this is so true, there have been so many times that I have become a victim of a situation and have told and told and retold everybody I can about how I have been treated. Now I just stop and try and work through the problem, by writing down what happened, how could I have changed the situation and how can I now move forward. It doesn't always work but I am slowly trying to change the way I react to situations and the way I let people make me feel. Please keep sharing these pearls of wisdom, they always make me sit up and think about things.

Love Kathryn, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

I always read your tips and have many of them up on my fridges, mirrors, and walls at home!

Hello Kim, I just wanted to say that I love getting your newsletters. I have received several from different Coaches and web sites and I have to say that yours are my favourite. You are personable yet professional. You aren't sending the message "Give me your $$$$". Thank you. Your advice is applicable, encouraging and practical.

There was a particular letter you sent out in November (I'm sorry I can't remember the title), but came at the right time and was so inspiring I sent to everyone I know. It had a really big impact in my life. I have actually started a file with many of your letters, which helps not only now but helps inspire me to becoming a Motivational Speaker. That is the dream I am working towards now. It is interesting how God is using me right now. I am definitely well on my way. Thank you for sharing your gift and being real!
Thank you. Just wanted you to know that.
Cheers!

Shannon Giesbrecht , Canada

Having a coaching session was something new to me, but I was willing to try it to help me deal with someone whom I thought was "difficult". I discovered that there were tools available to me that I could use and apply to the problem with my coach's help. Kim is a great listener and she has helped me handle things differently, not only with the issue we were working on, but other issues that could be solved in a similar fashion. She inspires one to take action and direction to find your own solution.

I found your book to be very valuable and will be using it with my Coaching Clients as well as myself. I find asking the right question just stops a lot of negative self talk and opens up my awareness to the new possibilities that exist.

Mary Cawood, Lexington, KY, USA

In the time that I've been a client of Kim's I've found her to be consistently professional, dedicated and sincere. I started the coaching process without any prior knowledge of the field and consequently, I was a little wary at first. In very little time Kim's honest and practical character reassured me that I was in good hands. Her real desire to help is immediately apparent and her wisdom, positive energy and pragmatic approach have been a balm to my soul time and again. I started the coaching at a time of great confusion and hopelessness in my life and, with Kim's help, my thinking has become clearer and I now feel that real change in my life is possible. She has helped me both outwardly in choosing my career direction and she continues to help me move forward inwardly in many facets of my life.

Mr. Walsh, Teacher, & Adventurer, S.Korea

Kim has got me to meet my own rebellion! It was this rebellion inside me that made me sabotage myself when it came to eating. To be able to see that when I ate something that jeopardized my weight loss the only one I was cheating on was me. Today I have found that instead of having the feeling of "missing out" on something when I “can’t” eat what I want to eat, I have the ability to see the benefits instead when I decide to NOT eat whatever is enticing me. It is a GREAT feeling.
Kim has supported me by listening without judgement; she believes in my own strengths and believes that I can drop weight. She has held me accountable and has REALLY MOTIVATED me to move out of my comfort zone and take responsibility for what I want and where I want to go. I will ENCOURAGE all those who REALLY want to find your way to losing weight and get fit to takestep out of your comfort zone and ask Kim to support you on your way! I want to give Kim A BIG BUNCH of flowers for supporting me in all the ways that I needed.

Eva Dahlberg, Life Coach – Manila, Philippines

Thank you so much Kim. I really appreciate your tips. They have really changed me. My colleagues have made so many comments and I'm glad they are all positive ones. They are really impressed by my new sense of style. It has boosted my ego in such a way that even at home I eat well, my house is neat, though small but its great to live in. My whole life has changed even my fiancé is so happy about the new me. I feel I am just myself. Thank you so so so so so much.

Takhona Ginindza - Swaziland

Hello Kim,
Guess what? This is just something I've been figuring out on my own lately, and have been putting in into practice. All my life I've put other people's needs first and mine last, if ever! How usual is this? I think because we are women and it is expected of us as well as being part of who we are, ( Nurturers) we DO care for others' needs first and foremost. Yet in the process, forget ourselves and THEN become drained, angry, resentful......but, I'm learning it doesn't have to be this way. I can and will also nurture myself! Thanks for the tip!

Cindy , Ontario, Canada

Hi -- I didn't know that I could sign up for Kim's free emails but I have been getting and totally plunging into David Wood. And there's some seminar that I'm going to be listening to today -- and I'm going to be starting school after the first of the year. All of the reading, questionairs, etc have made me take a really hard and honest look at all areas of my life -- it's been really a good experience.

Kim California, USA

"Thanks for your help Kim. Just knowing that I have you as support has meant so much to me this past week and the last couple of hours even!!! I feel truly comfortable telling you everything, and that is a big gift you have."
