Hi, I’m Kimberly!
Welcome to KM Leadership Consulting’s website. I’m happy that you want to explore my summer lecture series. I look forward to meeting you all! It is my pleasure to share my energy, my joy, and my many passions with you. I recently finished the Spring semester teaching Critical Reading and Writing at Endicott College with a wealth of network, friends, and inspiring students. Going forward I am proudly Wheaton College’s full-time Visiting Business Professor. I design an array of lectures based on DEI, literacy education, and business organizational behavior.
I am a devoted mother of two daughters. I value my role as a mother juggling both my career and day-to-day life. As a Reading Specialist, I strongly believe if a student is given proper guidance, educational tools, and a strong support system, they can effectively learn the skills to achieve their goals.
I draw from over 25 years of DEI teaching experience in the areas of literacy education and business organizational behavior. However, it was in 2004 when I started my master’s at Simmons University whilst programing with Landmark School that I learned the magic of special education. Teaching students to discover the joy of learning to read was magical in every essence of the word. The student’s newfound confidence brightened my ability to teach literacy skills on a profound level.
In 2016, my personal and professional passions led me to London, England where I conducted research as a PhD Post Graduate Researcher at Newcastle University where I continued to explore DEI theories of adversity and quality of life. My research focused on Skilled Migrant Women’s agency in negotiating a Work-Life balance whilst overcoming adversities with the goal of improving, one’s career and day-to-day life.
I hope you join me in my lecture series, choosing the one that suits you best. Or maybe you prefer a 1:1 Coaching session or individualized themed lecture series for your school or business associates. Either way, I am confident that collaborating with KM Leadership Consulting will be a wonderful endeavor for you.

Hi, I’m Briar!
I am KM Leadership Consulting’s Managing Partner. I grew up in Cambridge, MA, and always had a love for entrepreneurship, culinary arts, and music. After graduating high school I studied at Tanglewood in the Berkshires, as well as, New England’s Conservatory of Music whilst pursuing a career as a classical singer.
Although my passion for music has always been at the forefront, I always wanted to fulfill a dream in hospitality and open an events business. In 2007, Willowdale Estate in Topsfield, MA opened for weddings and events. I expanded my business in 2018 and opened, Briar Barn Inn in Rowley, MA.
When the opportunity arose to become KM Leadership Consulting’s Managing Partner, I was excited to create a platform to give back to the community by sharing all that I have learned through the years of owning multiple businesses.
