Making College Transition a Success

KIM GIRARD is a professional coach, youth speaker, entrepreneur and personal growth junkie with a passion for helping teens and young adults live extraordinary lives. With a BA in Communications from The University of Connecticut, she traded snow boots for sandals and the warmth of sunny California.

In 2009 Kim became a certified life coach with the ICF accredited Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC). As an Experiential Leadership Educator with Pathways in Education, Kim worked extensively with at-risk youth, helping them connect with the desire to complete high school.

"I coach because I want your child’s life to look different than mine," Girard says.  "I want it to exceed your expectations. I want your child to take advantage of all the opportunities that can help shape their life into a productive and positive one, setting them on a path to personal fulfillment and happiness.

"I am passionate about helping your child create the life of their dreams. Freshman year sets the tone, and I want that tone to be their unique song. Their joy. Their passion. Their vision."  Our speaker will be introduced by David Rowe.
