Back in 1995, Kim founded Upward Motion, a company that used simulation software to identify top performers for companies to hire. What she found was that there is one differentiating factor between top performers and everyone else: they have a high degree of emotional resilience.

Kim has since designed Frame of Mind Coaching, a coaching program that combines thinking tools and journaling, using her JournalEngine™ Software, with incredible success. Kim Ades, MBA is president and founder of Frame of Mind Coaching and JournalEngine™ Software. Author, speaker, entrepreneur, coach, and mother of five, Kim is one of North America's foremost experts on coaching with a focus on mindset and thought mastery.
