Your Quirks Matter. YOU Matter.

QUIRKS Coaching turns what you've been told are "flaws" into your biggest professional assets.

I've been exactly who I am my entire career - ADHD with OCD tendency, red wine sipping with ice, f-bomb slipping, stray dog (and people) rescuing, all of it...and I built a Forbes Top 200 PR firm doing it, not despite my quirks, but because of them. 

Kim Bode

I created QUIRKS coaching because I've watched too many brilliant people, especially women, think there's something wrong with their natural way of being. There isn't. You just need someone to help you see what you don't and give you a framework for taking up space.

Coach me. I'm ready.

You're already a big deal, just need a little spit and polish.

 $299 per session with a bonus one thrown in, IF you can name all the Bode dogs in the first meet-up.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I care about personal branding?

You can't change the world if you don't stand out from the crowd. Building a personal brand isn't about fitting yourself into a mold. It's taking what makes you special and learning how to use it to elevate your voice and create real change. When you walk into a room, people should notice.

How does coaching work?

First, you sign up for your session. Then you meet one-on-one with Kim Bode to go through what you've learned from your QUIRKS Assessment. 

  • Session 1: Your Results (30 minutes) We'll review your assessment together, talk through what's really behind your score, and get clear on your goals.
  • Session 2: QUIRKS Deep Dive We'll dig into our QUIRKS Guide, and you'll share your story; the real one, not the watered-down professional version. This helps us uncover the quirks, experiences, and perspectives that make you genuinely different.
  • Session 3: Your Personalized Playbook Based on everything we've discovered, I'll create your custom QUIRKS Activation Plan. This becomes your playbook for showing up authentically, in person and online, and making it easy(er).

After all that, you'll get tools to track your progress, resources to help develop your specific quirks, and a few surprises to remind you professional doesn't mean boring.

Am I actually a big deal?
