I first met Steve during a very dark and difficult period in my life, with struggles and severe doubts plaguing me in both my personal and professional life.    

Despite being three time zones away and over the phone, Steve always made sure that the mentoring was as effective and enlightening as if it were an in-person, face-to-face meeting.  With care and precision, Steve never interjected his views and biases on me; instead, he led me through a project of authentic self-discovery.  Steve also created a safe space where I could think out loud, examine my heart, and wrestle with inner demons. 

With patience and openness, he helped me navigate the dangerous pitfalls and minefields, allowing me to learn and understand myself in a deeper and more honest way.  Through this I was able to find my inner voice again, which was silenced and buried under the cacophony of noise, failures and expectations.  This empowered me to take charge of my thoughts and my life once again.

It is without reservation then that I give Steve the highest possible recommendation. I know Steve will give you the same attention and sharply focused care and mentoring he provided me.  You will not regret the choice.

I was excited and felt very blessed when Steve Kim asked me to meet-up with him, because I had seen people’s lives radically change for the better as a product of being in a mentoring relationship with Steve. During our first meeting, he asked me a number of questions to better understand who I was and what I was passionate about, but the very first question that he asked me was the one that struck me the most -- “what do I want in life?

As soon as I was able to answer that question he helped me turn what seemed like an impossible, unsolvable puzzle into an attainable, tangible dream. As part of that process, he gave me two homework assignments at the end of our first meeting: 1) create a vision board that reflected my current life and captured what I wanted it to be like twelve months later, and 2) create a chart that highlighted the truth about who I really was. 

I created my vision board in December 2015 and it is now July 2016 and wouldn’t you know it, almost 100% of the items on that board have come to pass! Each individual item would’ve been a major accomplishment if I had completed it by the end of 2016 and some of them were even completely out of my hands, but we’re barely passed the halfway point of the year and everything is almost complete!

Steve Kim’s vision and discernment is unlike anything I have ever seen. He knew the right questions to ask me, helping me realize what my actual passions were and he played an instrumental role in setting me on the path towards reaching them."

Steven Kim is a dynamic leader and speaker. I’ve had the pleasure of listening to Steve Kim speak on many occasions to an audience of 400 or 500, as well as receiving his private mentorship in a group of 20 or 30. 

I wanted to be a member of his mentorship group because I wanted to learn more about the vision of leadership that he operates in as well as his dedication to changing people’s lives through that vision. It is a vision which I see as helping to launch the next generations both young and old into having a positive impact on all the areas we are meant to have influence, including the marketplace. If this is the vision of leadership and mentorship that you want to learn more about and align yourself with, as I do, then I highly recommend Steven Kim.

Steven Kim’s leadership and mentorship have also taught me about having the strength to lead and a heart of gold even through facing great adversity and challenges. As well as listening to Steve Kim speak to larger groups, I also had the privilege of receiving his private mentorship, where he often goes into greater depth and detail. His in depth teaching includes speaking on fascinating world events, and political topics which are subjects that he is also passionate about and have great importance and relevance for understanding how we want to have influence as tomorrow’s leaders of the marketplace.

It is my pleasure to endorse Steven Kim as one of the greatest leaders and mentors that I've had the pleasure of knowing. I have had the opportunity to receive mentoring from Steve during a very important phase of my life. As an ambitious young man just out of university, I was impatient and wanted to take a leap at every opportunity available to me. During this pivotal period, Steve saw what I was going through and he took the time out of his hectic schedule and met me on a regular basis and helped me to set myself in the right trajectory. Through regular mentoring sessions, he taught me how to filter through external influences and to live from the inside out. Also, he has taught me how to work from a place of rest and to take my time.  

Steven Kim is truly one of the most enterprising and impactful individual who is always committed to doing the best he can for those around him.

I’ve had the privilege of being mentored by Steven Kim, both as part of a larger, group mentorship program and also via an ongoing one-on-one mentoring relationship. He’s provided me with invaluable insight, encouragement and guidance as I’ve worked my way through various life challenges, both personally and professionally, and as a direct result of his mentoring and leadership, my family has had breakthroughs in our finances and relationships and he’s been instrumental in bringing about significant healing and the restoration of our trust in authority figures. Steve is a man of vision and purpose, exemplifying those values and encouraging those that are in relationship with him to live their lives accordingly. He leads by example, and the passion, dedication, integrity and humility with which he leads his life both inspires and challenges me to live my life according to the higher standard that I know that I am called to. 

Steve has helped me become more aware of my growth opportunities and has provided me with the tools that I need to succeed in making the necessary changes in my life.  He’s also helped me identify and leverage areas of strength, which helped me positively reset my vision and expectations for the future.  I am a better man for knowing Pastor Steve and for coming under his tutelage and would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a mentor or life-coach.

I attended Steven Kim's leadership and mentoring training 3 years ago and was extremely impressed by his level of dedication, enthusiasm and wisdom in teaching and leading our group of mentees. He not only demonstrated and taught us a strong sense of discipline in living our daily lives but he also showed us how to lead purposeful lives as well with our families, friends and community. I came out of his leadership teaching and mentoring with a renewed sense of humility, perseverance and vision for my life which continues to guide my life today. Throughout the many years that I have known Steve, he has always proven himself to be a man of integrity and respect. These qualities shine through in his leadership and teaching, and are imparted to his students and mentees as they learn from him.

Steven Kim is an awesome leader. He is very down to earth and leads by example. He encouraged me on multiple occasions when I was going through difficult times or faced tough decisions. He spoke life into me when I was crippled by fear and doubt to keep my eyes fixed on the promise. He has encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and to overcome my fears."

Even though I had vague ideas of what I wanted to do with my life, through his thoughtful and focused questions, Steve was able to help me articulate what I'm most passionate about. He also gave me guidance as to how best spend my time investing into this work. I've been able to shift my day to day priorities to focus on this passion, which has given me new energy and a greater sense of purpose.

Steve Kim is an amazing teacher and mentor. He is full of knowledge and wisdom and he knows how to help guide people in the right direction. He is a visionary. He sees the big picture when people cannot. He has a thirst for learning which demonstrates humility. He does not think he knows everything; he is aware that there is always more to learn. Steve is able to articulate abstract ideas so that they may easily be understood. He motivates and inspires people to be the best person they can be.

I believe the best leaders are those that can balance the attributes of serving and guiding their wards. Leading by example is what the best leaders do, and Steven Kim is without exception. I believe integrity and strength of character is far more important of which Steve has in spades. Not every leader has the courage to be vulnerable in front of the people they are leading, but for those that are vulnerable, you know that they care. They understand the burden of leadership and take on that mantle regardless. The best leaders care about you and expect you to achieve beyond what you think you are capable. Steve shows you it's possible to aim higher because he too has done it and has succeeded. Steve's ability to be vulnerable and to be real is that which inspires me to be a better son, husband and hopefully one day a father."
