Today’s SOAPBOX® shot in the arm is wrapped around a famous quote by Ruth Gendler, artist, writer and teacher. “Courage looks you straight in the eye. She is not impressed with power trippers, and she knows first aid. Courage is not afraid to weep, and she is not afraid to pray, even when she is […]

REMEMBER: This article will be the fuel to an upcoming […]
This just in: I have officially become a contributing writer and now join the brilliant international community at The Good Men Project (www.goodmenproject.com). Apparently they needed a bold female life coach who covers all things WINGMAN! I am honored and truly jazzed at this tremendous opportunity to have a greater impact on the broad, diverse, […]
If you’re a modern man, you truly value the prime real estate between your ears. Too often the world smashes your eardrums with noise of irrelevant info, obnoxious attitudes and superficial fluff. YOU CAN CHOOSE TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL, you know. So, I invite you to give me a shot. Join me on the PURE SOAPBOX […]
Nothing too elaborate today, but still simply deep. Growing up around golf (my pop was a pro in his own mind!), I picked up a few things here and there: Definitely learned HOW TO SWEAR at a very young age. Became adept at properly mowing our 250-yard driving range and green with a PUSH MOWER. Realized that […]
Meet Bob. He’s a VP of Operations for a growing 30mm+ company. Bob is feeling like crap (again) this morning and just led a half-assed update meeting with his leadership team. When asked “What’s going on? You alright?” by his assistant… the answer is simple: “I’m fine. Must have had too much coffee.” It could […]
WHO DOESN’T NEED A WINGMAN? (audio version available: http://tinyurl.com/p7cbwb7) And yes, I am speaking beyond the guttural guy mentality and bar-room setting. Beyond the Vegas trips, tailgating parties, fishing weekends, neighborhood BBQs, poker nights, and “the wife’s away, let’s grab a beer and watch the game” nights. I’m talking about the instances when life asks […]
“So, what do you like to do for fun?” Ring a bell? Of course it does- because we all have USED that wildly lame one-liner ice-breaker in hopes of finding common ground, or in the very least, finding out that the target had a wild side that is merely overshadowed by their way-too-conservative first impression.

Disclaimers abound: Hello, my name is Kimberlie. I am a proud New Yorker, a straight-shooter, and have been lovingly referred to as the following: buzzsaw, taskmaster, espresso shot, hired wife and “the real deal”. So, if you’ve ever read one of my blogs, article or publications you’ll connect the dots very quickly: I am not […]
a.k.a. No one ever said: It’s all fun, games, flashy titles and big paychecks… until SOMEONE has a heart attack. So, I was all ready to pull out a pencil and legal pad (yes, I said PENCIL) to write up notes for this post- fully armed to hit on the dirty […]
16 years ago I found myself freezing my petunias in the tundra of Michigan (don’t ask why), driving a Ford Mustang (you know why), and managing a fitness facility while growing my business as a Certified Personal Trainer. This meant getting up at 4am to open the doors at 5am for the handful of highly-devoted […]
