There is no such thing as ‘Work-Life balance,’ This is the first conviction that Kim Everitt holds. When a Leader and human being understand the critical importance of Designing their life, the result is a balanced and resilient neurology.
Kim states that the aspects that are the surface structures and camouflage burn-out and many psychosomatic dis- eases, may sound like ‘tight deadlines and heavy workloads to difficult colleagues and ever-changing technologies, to pressures of modern work.’ It is not about the outside world but more about how we relate to outside stimuli, navigate challenges and failures, and master agility and flexibility that will determine the reality/position a Leader finds themselves in. Kim offers the teaching of ‘He or She that is the most flexible will rule the system, or the system will rule them.’
Today, it’s common for professionals to get stuck, feel overwhelmed and question quality of their lives whilst trying their utmost to ‘balancing’ life & business. Kim offers that we need a different approach and set of effective and practical tools and techniques and personal insights to guide us and assist us to take back the steering wheel of our personal and professional lives.
It takes vulnerability and courage to address the possible limiting beliefs, fears and unprocessed negative emotions that may be the obstacles to Leadership abundance. Kim states that we may be asking the wrong question. It may not be ‘if we are able’ but rather ‘what is standing in our way’ of Authentic, Wise and abundant Leadership.
Many professionals are held back by their own unhelpful patterns, limiting beliefs and unproductive habits. Self- doubt, fear of failure, and a fixed mindset can prevent us from taking risks, seeking new opportunities, and reaching our full potential. Not integrating our Head, Heart & Gut intelligences in Leadership or for example, not understanding our personal energy nuances and highest needs are critical factors in burn-out and stuckness and achieving greatly in the game of business and life. Critical areas that Kim teaches on and applies in her Leadership Coaching.

More than a conviction, it’s her relentless mission to empower her clients with practical, powerful, and accessible ‘How-to’s, enabling them to discover their full potential and acknowledge the diversity that surrounds them.
Revolutionizing the landscape of Coaching and Mentoring
It all began on a simple napkin in a quaint coffee shop, where a visionary concept took shape. Kim recognized the need for a quality-driven and fresh approach in the Coaching, Mentoring, and Training industry. With a keen eye for innovation, they envisioned a unique business design that would revolutionize the field.
The concept was elegant in its simplicity yet powerful in its potential. The business model consisted of two interconnected units: one dedicated to certifying and supporting Coaching & Mentoring graduates, and the other offering Coaching and Mentoring services to a diverse clientele, including individuals, entrepreneurial companies, SMMEs, government entities, and corporations.
What sets this model apart is its passion for quality, methodology, and ethics. These principles are consistently applied across the board, ensuring unparalleled benefits for clients. The Business division of the organisation, meticulously selects and motivates the Coaches & Mentors who have certified through their rigorous programs, ensuring that only the best and most qualified professionals are deployed to serve their clients in the business world. This ensures consistent and quality delivery of NeuroCoaching services to clients.
This innovative structure not only motivates the institute’s graduates to gain valuable experience and build their reputations but also allows them to leverage the accredited and acclaimed Business Coaching and Mentoring programs offered by the Business focused division. By providing their clients with access to these exceptional resources, the institute ensures that every engagement leads to tangible growth and success.
The vision born in that pivotal moment on that napkin has since blossomed into a thriving enterprise, transforming the domain of conventional Coaching and Mentoring. The NeuroCoach™ & Mentor Institute as well as the Business focused division continues to push the boundaries of superiority in excellence, delivering desired results, pioneering concepts and setting heightened standards in the industry.
A Multifaceted Approach
Kim Everitt is committed to delivering revolutionary NeuroCoaching services.
To achieve this, she employs a multifaceted approach that prioritizes continual and relevant feedback from various sources.
Her Keynote Talks to audiences, insights from Coaches and Mentors on the front lines of coaching, and direct input from clients at The neurology of businesses and her clients, provide her with invaluable feedback. Each NeuroCoaching & Mentoring project serves as a real-time data source, allowing her to identify client needs and emerging themes.
Prioritizing Client Feedback
As a leader, she places paramount importance on client as well as coach feedback, which serves as a compass for her organization. This feedback guides her team to remain relevant, maintain stringent quality control, and consistently deliver transformational services.
Acknowledging the “NeuroNerd” Mindset
Kim proudly considers herself a “NeuroNerd,” deeply immersed in the latest research in neuroscience and other brilliant disciplines, including ancient wisdom and applied behavioral sciences. This research is not just an interest but a vital component in designing and implementing the NeuroCoaching & Mentoring models that drive her organization’s success.
She tends to shy away from teachings that lean into qualifying a NeuroCoach with an overload of neuroscience instead of the fundamentals and dynamics that can be applied in practice. She states confidently that we are here to be NeuroCoaches and not Neuroscientists.
The Kimeveritt TripleD™ Model.
Among the array of established and effective NeuroCoaching models, Kim’s TripleD™ Model distinguishes itself through its remarkable practicality and capacity to yield significant results.
This model, when combined with the progressive approach of “Multiple Brains in Action Toward Authenticity & Wisdom,” provides advanced techniques tailored for individuals, teams, and organizations, especially in the realms of Leadership and Management.
Evaluation in NeuroCoaching & NeuroMentoring
Kim emphasizes that while traditional quantitative and qualitative measurement methods are employed, there is also a strong reliance on a scientifically validated integration of intuitive approaches. Guided by a combination of intellect, emotion, and instinct, Kim assesses the progress and effectiveness of the NeuroCoaching, Mentoring, and Training programs. Ultimately, the most meaningful measure of success is found in the feedback from clients, reflecting their experiences of achieving tangible results and undergoing significant transformations.
The Rewards of Coaching and Mentoring
In reflecting on the most rewarding aspects of her work as a coach and mentor, Kim expresses that it encompasses everything. She appreciates the beautiful balance of the business domain, the exhilarating highs of her clients’ successes and the challenging lows of their failures, both of which she regards as invaluable teachers. These experiences prepare her to navigate the complexities of life and business with greater resilience.
On a gray, rainy day that held a certain beauty, Kim found herself in the presence of a CEO from a multinational corporation, a man who wielded considerable power yet bore the heavy burden of vulnerability. The atmosphere was thick with trust as he opened about his feelings of imposter syndrome and the loneliness that often accompanied his role as an authentic leader. Despite his clear sense of purpose, personal limiting beliefs and a relentless inner dialogue kept him awake into the early hours, grappling with self-doubt.
In a shared silence, they engaged in a dialogue that challenged the conventional norms and examined his belief systems. This introspective process led them to utilize a gentle, yet profoundly effective model known as the Multiple Brain Integration Technique (mBIT), a method employed by Kim in her role as a NeuroCoach™.
Within a span of just 40 minutes, the CEO experienced a remarkable shift. The decision he needed to make, one that carried multimillion-dollar ramifications, suddenly became clear to him. It emerged with a blend of creativity, compassion, and courage. He embraced this newfound solution with great conviction, and in that moment, Kim observed the weight lift from his shoulders as clarity settled in. “This is why I do what I do.” affirms Kim.
Balancing Diverse Client Needs
In the realm of coaching, the dynamics of balancing the needs of clients with differing goals and aspirations present a fascinating challenge. Kim stresses that an exceptional coach recognizes the importance of immersing themselves in the individual journey of each client.
By becoming a genuine partner in their thoughts, the coach provides essential support, challenges preconceived notions, and ensures accountability. This collaborative approach transforms each coaching experience into a unique journey, with co-creation and manifestation tailored specifically to the distinct goals and aspirations of every client.
Role of a Professional Coach in Client Success
It is widely accepted that great leaders and managers value the role of a mentor and coach on their journey. In her reflections on her profession, Kim analyzes the pivotal role she plays in her clients’ journeys toward success and abundance. As a dedicated professional coach, she is committed to discovering the most effective ways to serve her clients, drawing from her knowledge and skills. A high value to Kim is getting onto and into the map of her client and immersing herself into his or her world with no judgement toward co-creating.
Kim focuses on pinpointing the specific role she can adopt to best support her clients in achieving their desired outcomes. By guiding them along their unique paths, she fosters a collaborative partnership that enhances their potential for success. Indeed, she underscores the importance of this partnership, highlighting that it is fundamental to the coaching process.
Challenges of Coaching and How to Overcome Them
This is addressed from 2 perspectives by Kim. Leaders need Coaches and Mentors. These are probably 2 different roles if there is a sound understanding of the positioning of each.
With regard to Coaches and Mentors themselves, one of the most significant challenges that coaches face (and may not be consciously aware of) is the need for their own coaches, mentors, and guides. Like any professional, coaches require support, feedback, and guidance to maintain their effectiveness, focus, and alignment with their brand, vision, and purpose.
Kim recognizes this and makes it a priority to seek out and engage with those who can support and challenge her. By continuously seeking growth and engaging in self-reflection, Kim ensures that she can effectively guide others while staying true to her own path.
Tailoring Coaching Services to Individual Client Needs
Ensuring that services are tailored to the specific needs of each client is paramount, Kim firmly believes that the client is the driving force behind their own life and business. Her role is understanding and in addition, to co- create, challenge and hold accountable to ensure the desired results are achieved.
Engaging Multiple Intelligences
By intentionally engaging her Head, Heart, and Gut centers of intelligence, Kim co-creates the coaching journey with her client, guaranteeing that it aligns perfectly with their specific needs. This process is built on transparency and courageous conversations, as true coaching is a partnership between the coach and the client.
Wearing Multiple Hats
When Kim is qualified to be a Mentor in a specific context or situation, the ability to wear both the Coaching and Mentoring (knowledgeable advisor) hats becomes a powerful and effective tool in her coaching arsenal. This versatility allows her to tailor her approach to the unique needs and preferences of each individual client, ensuring that they receive the most relevant and impactful guidance possible.
In contemplating a career as a coach or mentor, Kim highlights the importance of grasping the true essence of these roles. It is not about fixing individuals; it is about being a Thought-partner, Challenge-partner, Support-partner and Accountability-partner. These are the hallmarks of a brilliant coach.
Choosing a reputable and quality driven institute or academy for training is crucial. It is advantageous if the trainers and facilitators actively engage with clients, demonstrating the methodologies they teach in real-world scenarios. Aspiring coaches should steer clear of institutions that resemble factories, merely producing courses for profit without genuine educational value.
Taking the time to interview and evaluate the facilitators and leaders of a program is essential, as they will serve as mentors throughout the training process. Trusting one’s head, heart and gut feelings during this journey is vital. Furthermore, seeking feedback from former students of the school or academy can offer invaluable insights into the quality of the training and the overall experience.
Accreditations and Memberships
The NeuroCoach & Mentor Institute as well as the NeuroBusiness unit hold several accreditations’ and memberships that benefit their clients.
While the institutes prioritize internal quality control, processes, and ethics in managing the company, delivering offerings, and serving clients, they are also proud to hold important accreditations and memberships.

The institutes are accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF), a globally recognized organization that sets high standards for coach training programs and individual coaches.

Accreditations and Recognition by QCTO and SETA
The institutes hold accreditations and recognition from QCTO (Quality Council for Trades and Occupations) and SETA (Sector Education and Training Authority), which ensures that their programs meet the highest standards of quality and relevance.
While these accreditations and memberships are important, the true measure of the institutes’ success is the quality of the experience their clients receive. The institutes’ vow to superiority shines through in the exceptional service and results they deliver to their clients.
Future Growth and Innovation
The plans for the future growth and expansion of the NeuroCoach™ & Mentor Institute and the Business division, are centered around increased offering of their online learning programs and certifications. They aim to curate additional programs and certifications to their current diverse offering in their blended delivery of NeuroCoaching and Mentoring programs, as well as Business training and coaching/mentoring programs, while ensuring that their in-person offerings remain relevant. This multifaceted approach is designed to keep the institutes accessible and adaptable to the growing needs of their clients and the industry. Furthermore, the recent appointment of Kim as a Chapter Leader and Director with ICF South Africa, focusing on Member Engagement, adds a significant dimension to their commitment. This new role fosters a closer connection with coaches, mentors, the broader business community, and esteemed governing bodies like the ICF. She believes that true wisdom is derived from acknowledging diverse perspectives, a principle that will continue to guide their innovation and leadership in the coaching and mentoring field.
