What Clients Are Saying
Real stories of transformation, impact, and resilience.
We were honored to have Kim Peterson as our keynote speaker for our 12th annual Black Graduation at Central Washington University. I have been involved with this event for several years and have hosted many excellent keynote speakers. Kim's ‘If You Want to Fly: Pearls of Wisdom for Your Journey’ keynote was among the best. Kim has a very engaging speaking style that held the audience captive from the start—it was as if she was speaking to each person directly. Several times during the keynote, people clapped and cheered in response to her many inspiring moments. She really added something special to the event this year.

Assistance League® of the Eastside is an all-volunteer non-profit organization that puts caring and commitment into action through community-based philanthropic programs to make a positive difference in the lives of children and adults touched by hardship or violence. We asked Kim Peterson to be our fundraising keynote speaker for our ‘Step into Style’ luncheon. Months before the event, Kim took the time to volunteer for two of our programs in an effort to learn as much as possible about our organization. Our goal was to raise $50K, and we raised $107K. I am positive that Kim’s presentation increased the donations made by our guests! I would enthusiastically recommend Kim Peterson to anyone looking for an engaging, transformative, and dynamic speaker!
