Sometimes, the best way to understand what’s missing in our lives is to ask ourselves the right questions. Kim Ades is back on the show to present a powerful journaling challenge to help you explore what you really, really want—and why you might not have it yet. Ready for some introspection? Grab your pen and take note of the insights you’ll uncover!

About Kim Ades

Kim Ades, MBA, is a serial entrepreneur who, after a decade running a simulation-based assessment firm, sold her company and briefly worked for a local coaching company. She left after 8 months, believing she could offer better coaching. Kim felt the prevailing coaching model was flawed, intuitively realizing that driven leaders needed to understand the link between their thoughts and outcomes rather than being “held accountable.”

In 2004, Kim founded Frame of Mind Coaching®, focusing on helping leaders maximize their potential and live fulfilling lives. She also created the Frame of Mind Coaching® Certification program to teach leaders effective coaching techniques.
