Kimberley Wakefield
Recently Kimberley ignited her passion for Positive Psychology by completing her Msc in Applied Positive Psychology with a Mark of Distinction. A true Pan-Canadian and global citizen, having lived, worked or gone to school literally across Canada from Halifax to Vancouver and studying in the UK. She completed her WABC coaching certification and has experienced the power of coaching to unlock tremendous internal potential first hand. After a decade in marketing and sales and then taking time off to raise her two children, returning to work offered her an opportunity to evolve her skill set. Having used these methods to conquer her own personal leadership power, she is passionate about bringing it to others.
Kimberley’s experience in marketing strategy and business development give her a strong corporate background having worked for a global multinational, not for profit and start-up companies. Her warmth, enthusiasm and great capacity for exploring and sharing her passion inspire her clients to reach for more.
Making a strong contribution to her community is something that was instilled in Kimberley from an early age. Believing that education is key to a high quality of life, Kimberley has become an advocate for improving the quality of education for all children in Ontario through her involvement with People for Merit Based Hiring; as well as in her volunteer roles at her local public school. Kimberley has also built a strong reputation for her extensive experience working on numerous local and provincial political campaigns where her strategy skills have been leveraged to guide campaigns on their messaging and communications architecture.
Originally from Toronto, Kimberley got her BA from McGill in Sociology and Political Science and then went on to pursue her MBA from Dalhousie University, specializing in Marketing and International Business. Most recently she completed her MSc. in Applied Positive Psychology at Bucks New University in the UK.
