TESTIMONIALS

Here’s what people
are saying …

 

When Stake Media Group launched its branded content practice with a major financial institution client, we knew we needed exceptional talent to bring the client's messaging to life. With her decades of experience, finely honed skills, warm and welcoming approach, and keen storytelling instincts, Kym was the perfect partner for Stake. Our client is thrilled, and we can't wait to work with Kym again.

  • "I’ve had the privilege of working for a lot of great leaders, but none was as instrumental in transforming my career as Kym Geddes was.

    Kym helped me unlock the best version of myself and encouraged me in my drive to succeed in roles I thought were out of reach.

    She was able to identify and maximize my strengths by helping me shift my mindset to identify areas of improvement.

    Many people can tell you what’s not working. Kym provides the coaching cues and easy-to-understand roadmap for how to achieve your goals not just once, but day in and day out.

    Under Kym’s guidance and support, an emerging talent became an established leader. I credit Kym’s coaching skills for that. She also help me crystalize my transferable skills necessary to make the transition to a new career.

    Spend any time with Kym and it’s obvious that she cares about people. She is authentic, engaging, attentive, intuitive, and quick with praise.

    When someone like Kym Geddes believes in you, you believe in yourself.”

  • "It’s impossible for me to quantify the impact Kym’s leadership has had on my life, professionally and personally.

    Her open door policy throughout the six years we worked together fostered an inclusive and driven award-winning newsroom.

    She struck the perfect balance of levity and grit needed to succeed in the fast-paced, stressful, emotional world of news.

    Kym knows exactly how to get people out of their comfort zones, sticking with them every step of the way, with encouragement and persuasiveness.

    One of my struggles was recording video standup reports. I dug my heels in. But in time, with Kym’s guidance and reassurance, it got easier and I overcame my apprehensions only to add another skill to my tool box.

    That is one example out of dozens.

    I am a more accomplished, strong, insightful, and resilient person because of our six years together which will go a long way in shaping my future.”

  • "I had the pleasure of working for Kym at NEWSTALK 1010. Her true leadership was apparent to me even before I was hired on.

    Without Kym’s guidance I would not be half the broadcaster I am today. She must have spent countless hours listening to me read news, jumping in to tell me to give more energy, or picking out words and asking me ‘would you ever say that in real life?’ These are tricks of the trade I still use when I’m training a new writer and broadcaster.

    She granted me every opportunity I asked for, and allowed me to try out every role in the newsroom to show my value.

    While these are all wonderful traits of a true leader, that’s not what makes Kym the best in a position of authority.

    She never forgets that her employees are human. It sounds so simple, but there are plenty of bosses out there who may not be as forgiving or understanding.

    Kym never said no when I asked her for help, guidance or advice … constantly going above and beyond the call of duty, and having compassion for her people.

    I feel confident saying there is no one better to learn true leadership from than Kym Geddes.”
