Young Presidents Organization (YPO) is a global organization with more than 25,000 top business leaders who are “committed to lifelong learning and idea exchange.“ YPO’s signature program is forum, a safe haven for CEOs to provide and receive insight and perspective from trusted peers in a highly confidential, supportive, and productive setting.

As a top-rated YPO Certified Forum Facilitator and Global Education Resource, Kim has been a trusted advocate for leaders, partners, and families since 2002. In addition to delivering powerful forum experiences, she works with Regions, Chapters, and Networks to deliver high-impact growth and development workshops.

Below is a sample of programs Kim delivers for YPO:

Structured programs that enable forums to launch, stay healthy, and navigate challenges and growth.

Taste of Forum

An introduction for new, curious, or prospective members who want to learn about the forum process.

Forum Fundamentals

Designed to give new members and their spouses/partners a solid foundation and experience with the principles and protocols of this most-valued YPO experience.

Forum Moderator & Leadership Development

Current and future moderators learn how to run high-impact meetings using the forum protocol, deal with diverse styles and roles, navigate challenging situations, and lead with influence and compassion.

Forum Supercharge

A forum “tune-up” on process and protocol. Or a reboot for forums experiencing growing pains, transitions, conflict, or stagnation.

Transformational Forum

A life-changing retreat to expand how members explore issues, solve problems and communicate. This program develops muscles of self-awareness, curiosity, and thoughtful interaction which are used in the 4-Step Forum Exploration.

Blend a YPO structured training with the specific needs and desires of the forum members on retreat to strengthen forum processes while building stronger and deeper connections with each other.

Foster your forum’s health while providing powerful opportunities to learn and grow as individuals and a group. Retreats can range from deep, intense exploration and sharing to light and fun, engaging experiences.

Real-time coaching during your scheduled meeting, when your forum needs to get unstuck from an issue or protocol, wants to get feedback or seeks support for how to be more productive. This can be a one-time event or ongoing sessions and can be conducted virtually.

Also known as forum weeks, forum blitz or forum fusion, this intense, custom forum experience is for chapters, regions or a “stir-fry” mix of forum members.

Keynotes or longer presentations tailored to address the personal or professional development topic your chapter, network, special interest group, or region would like to address. When groups want a deeper level of exploration and growth, workshops typically span one-half to three days, to allow for multiple learning experiences.

Kim has designed and delivered retreats, education events, workshops and keynotes on many topics.

Kim clicked with our group, was very open and trusting and got us to open up, which showed us that we had room to “grow”. She also led us very well in our discussions and kept us on track, which was good because our group tends to veer off track a lot.
