Sage Leadership & Wellness

Did you know your leadership has a VIBE?

Over time, you’ve taken on roles, responsibilities, and expectations.
You’ve led, supported, built, created — and kept it all moving, even when it felt heavy.

But somewhere in all the doing, you got a little buried. The part of you that led with clarity, laughed easily, and trusted your instincts? It’s still there. It just needs space to breathe again.

Hi, I’m Kim …

leadership and wellness coach, global speaker, and founder of Sage Leadership & Wellness and The VIBE Leadership Model.

I help people and teams peel back the layers, reconnect to what’s real, and lead — and live — with authenticity, wellbeing, and purpose. It’s what I call finding your VIBE — your unique rhythm of Values, Integrity, Belonging, and Embodiment.

Ready to remember what it feels like to lead with clarity and energy again?

WHAT'S YOUR VIBE?
Kim-Black-Executive-Coach-for-Authentic-Leadership

Leadership with edge, heart and zero pretense.

If you’re looking for a buttoned-up, buzzword-heavy leadership coach … we’re probably not a match.

I’m Kim — leadership and wellness coach, speaker, and creator of the VIBE Leadership Model. I spent decades in corporate life learning how leaders lose themselves to performance pressure, burnout, and polish-for-show. These days, I help them find their way back — to clarity, confidence, and genuine presence.

My approach blends evidence-based strategy with a deep respect for the human side of leadership. Expect honest conversations, measurable progress, and probably a few laughs along the way.

Whether I’m working with a senior team, a high-achieving executive, or a community of women reclaiming their spark, the goal is the same: to make leadership feel real again.

LET'S TALK LEADERSHIP

HERE's HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER

HERE's HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER

Executive Coaching

Our Executive Coaching and Leadership Labs give senior leaders and teams the structure and support to sharpen clarity, strengthen trust, and increase decision velocity. Through guided practice and real-time feedback, leaders learn to sustain high performance without slipping into overdrive — and the results show up fast in engagement, retention, and execution speed.

VIBE Workshops & Retreats

Workshops and Retreats bring the VIBE framework to life through practical, immersive experiences on topics like resilience, communication under pressure, and leading with clarity and calm. These fun and engaging sessions help leaders reset habits that drain performance and replace them with simple, repeatable practices that improve focus and team connection.

Culture Consulting

With Culture Consulting, we take it further — translating leadership behaviors into measurable cultural shifts. Dashboards and quarterly pulse metrics give you tangible data on where energy fuels results and where it’s being lost. The payoff is a leadership culture that performs consistently, sustains engagement, and delivers real ROI over time.

I am so grateful that our paths crossed. Thank you for being a light and a rebel who lives boldly in a world that too often tries to restrict us in so many ways. You are an inspiration!”

    Kim was an incredible resource. She helped me learn to delegate for my team’s development. She also helped me improve my prioritization, career management and execute on my goals.”

    Kim brings such an incredible energy and passion to everything that she does. She has a passion for making a real difference and having a lasting impact, which she has consistently delivered in every interaction I have ever had with her. The workshop session received very positive feedback and we saw meaningful and tangible changes in the performance of our participants who attended this session.”

    Partner, PwC

    She listened and gave meaningful insight when needed, while still allowing us to find the answers on our own. She was the best part of the workshop experience.”

    Senior Associate, PwC

  • “Kim created an environment where everyone felt comfortable sharing openly and honestly.

    Kim was a very positive and supportive coach. She made sure the environment was inclusive and fun for everyone. She was great at fostering fun and thought-provoking conversations and recognizing we all had unique goals. I really appreciated her energy, encouragement, and non-judgmental attitude throughout the sessions.”

    Senior Associate, PwC

  • “Kim was AMAZING.

    I am not quick to open up to anyone and I felt completely at ease talking to her. She was really listening. I haven’t felt that from leadership in a really long time. She taught me different ways to advocate for myself. Thank you, Kim, for helping me find my voice.”
