“Now I have a framework I can actually use, not just inspiration. Kimberly helped me translate ideas into something practical—clear steps, clearer language, and a structure I can come back to when I need to make decisions.”

Your Strategist & Guide
I'm Kimberly Paulk, a leadership and career transitions coach. Before founding Purple Thread Strategies, I spent years in financial services, then moved into marketing, partnerships, and nonprofit leadership.
That breadth of experience shapes how I coach. I understand what it takes to lead across sectors, navigate change, and build influence that lasts.
I work with women who are ready to lead with more clarity and intention. I'd love to support your next step.
Listen in on my recent conversation about visibility, leadership presence, and creativity with Erica Mattison on her podcast Conversations with Erica.
"Kimberly helped me in two sessions zero in on something I'd been spinning my wheels on for months. She helped me figure out what mattered and let go of the rest. I only wish I'd talked to her sooner."
