Kim Newman

Creative Conduit

Inspiring Change

For over two decades, I’ve served as a catalyst for organizational change. Today, I serve as a catalyst for your personal and professional development. As both a Certified Innovation Coach and Art Medicine Practitioner, I work to inspire others to use their art and creativity in service to the changes they seek. Art Medicine and Arts-Based Experiential Learning are powerful tools that I will implement to help you break barriers in your journey.

Articulating Knowledge

I love to share the practicality of the knowledge I’ve collected. As such, it gives me great joy to design and deliver workshops, information sessions and speeches that connect with others and provide insight. As a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach and Innovation Coach, workshop content ranges from using your strengths in the workplace, building mindfulness and resilience, to creativity as a catalyst for change.

Debi Cost-Finn

Head of Training & Licensing

I reached out to Kim for some career coaching. I was in the middle of a career change and uncertain of my path. That is when she introduced me to Gallup Strength Finders. I admit my results initially were challenging for me to accept. However, with Kim’s insights and ability to pull back my expectations & shame, she was able to empower me with knowledge about what we now call my, “Super Powers.” Take my advice, if you ever have the opportunity to work with Kim, take it, and you can thank me later.

Kim Newman coached me using the Gallup Strength Finders method. While I had not been tested with Gallup before, I found Kim to be incredibly insightful, with a keen eye for helping me understand my strengths in a newfound way. Her style is very self-aware, and she put me at ease right away. I learned some things about my skills and approach to work which have helped me on my journey to be a better executive recruiter. I would highly recommend Kim.

Barbershop Owner

I was a bit skeptical when my friend invited me to Kim’s Art Medicine session. I went mostly for the camaraderie. Once we go started, I was blown away. Kim guided us through this powerful process where art became a channel to connect with the best parts of myself. The session revealed insights into my true desires for love and work and remined me I have the power to create whatever I envision. I’ve attended two sessions, and each brought breakthroughs invaluable to my growth. Highly recommend Kim’s guidance to anyone looking for introspection and inspiration!

I loved Kim’s Art Medicine class. Trust the Process! Art Medicine gave me hope and a reminder to approach all situations with added Love. Compartmentalizing a piece of my life with love and transforming it into a wonderful piece of art took me to the next level of emotional maturity. My issue is not very different yet, but I am.

Moving chatter in my head to canvas, gave my head space to reflect on creating freely. Kim’s direction guides interaction with your thoughts, feelings and emotion in color. Releasing ego and allowing emotions to bubble up and onto the canvas, essentially unearths the issue layer by layer.

Clearing your mind while expressing thoughts and emotions, creates something you can touch, feel and heal. Moving feelings to canvas gives back control to your brain and heart providing a manageable perspective. In other words – Art medicine gave me Hope!

I really enjoyed myself at Kim Newman‘s workshop. We had a lot of fun, we were focused on our intentions as she asked us to, and we all created works of art for ourselves. She was well prepared and at the end we all got to share which allowed us to see how we are all really one! I’d recommend this to anyone at any stage of life. Let your inner creative true self come forward. Always more to learn and do! This is your work, Kim, carry on.
