"Working with Kim was fundamental in giving us clarity of what we wanted to accomplish, how to get the ideal client experience and how to set up a team culture that can endure the test of time. Having the opportunity to start our company by defining our core values, ideology and what we wanted to accomplish in the world has been amazing. Our clear culture and values have allowed us to keep a 90% YoY client retention rate, our first four clients are still working with us after 5 years. It has also improved our employee retention rate, with 85% of our employees staying for 3 years or more with us."

Carlos Avendano

"With Kim's help, we identified company core values. These allow us and our team to make objective decisions and course correct if we drift from our values. Processes, procedures and policies help us to predict pitfalls and ensure that we have measures in place to deal with them."

Doc Parsons, COO of Team Tito

"Any proximity to Kim Crayton and her work guarantees rethinking the status quo, whether someone is ready for it or not. Anyone willing to get comfortable with discomfort is rewarded with better mental models and targets for what technologists can aim for and achieve. These aren't merely aspirational shifts; Kim keeps it grounded and actionable with her unique clarity and insight."

Pamela O. Vickers

"In an era of where we've settled on avoiding the uncomfortable, our work together in open source held Kim clearly articulating the work and accountability required for us to move forward together, not acquiescing to folks sitting in pity parties but reminding them that if they want to be a part of the world we move forward in, they must regularly show up."

Tracy Hinds

"I contacted Kim to ask her for some personal training and coaching. It was truly an eye-opener for me. Not only did I begin to address my own misunderstandings and missteps, but I learned so much more from Kim about how my own mental models were racist, how much I operated out of those to support systemic racism, and bring harm to the most vulnerable."

Tamara Temple

"More than just imparting theoretical wisdom, Kim equips you with tangible tools and strategies, always centering the most vulnerable. Under her guidance, I've not only evolved into a more innovative and imaginative entrepreneur but have also felt an unparalleled connection to my business. For those aspiring to embrace a truly heart-centered business ethos, Kim Crayton is the person you need."

Kenya Johnson

"I met Kim Crayton through a friend in 2018 and my life would not be the same without her mentorship, guidance, and wisdom. She has shown me time and again how the impact of my words and actions far outweighs my intentions. When I met Kim I was struggling to know how to respond to racism that was occurring in a tech non-profit I was involved in. She advised me on how to hold the organization accountable for actions and inaction while also taking accountability for my own complicity in benefitting from the toxic culture of the organization."

Mo McElaney, Engineering Manager

"Kim's endless energy to highlight oppression is driven by her passion and enthusiasm to improve the status quo of those most marginalised. This is why she is such a shining light for inclusion in today's workplace and tech communities."

Peter Aitken

"Listen to what Kim has to say, no matter how uncomfortable it might seem at first. Your life, and the lives around you, will benefit from it."

Nader Dabit

"Before even attending any of Kim's workshops, I got to see her speak where she changed my point of view on effective mentoring. After attending Kim's workshops, I was able to look at my own actions to see where and how I can improve myself. Both in terms in my antiracist practice, as well as reducing harm when working with others."

Mike Hartington

"Kim has been instrumental in helping me, a white cishet man, understand how oppression and white supremacy work and more importantly, give me the tools to combat them."

Josh Glover

"Kim's coaching helps to unravel the complexity of operating with such privilege whilst also prioritizing the most vulnerable. I couldn't recommend this type of coaching more for anyone who wants to make a positive impact in the world."
