What Our Clients Are Saying
“
Altus Group was honoured to have Dr. Jean Kim as our keynote speaker for our Asian Heritage Month event, where she spoke about Intentional Presence: Leading with Clarity, Courage, and Commitment. Her powerful storytelling, authenticity, and insight into leading with purpose left a lasting impression on our audience. The messaging that our intentional presence isn’t just about personal success, it’s about possibility for those around us, and for those who come after us has resonated deeply. The format of the event ensured our audience was engaged and allowed a space for connection, insight, and collective growth. Dr. Kim is highly recommended to any group seeking a speaker who brings both heart and depth to the stage.

“
I was a speaker on a career panel moderated by Jean, an empowering, well-prepared, and thoughtful leader. She came exceptionally prepared, having researched the panelists and topic to add meaningful depth and perspective to the discussion. What stood out most was her genuine passion and care for everyone involved—speakers and audience alike. She expertly shaped a cohesive narrative that amplified my and my co-panelists’ voices while empowering the audience to engage, learn, and connect. Her ability to do this with warmth, grace, and ease truly sets her apart as a moderator.”

“
As President of the Korean Professional Women’s Association (KPWA), I’ve had the pleasure of seeing our Executive Director, Dr. Jean Kim, moderate and speak on several panels over the years, and each time, she brings a level of polish, refinement, and engagement that stands out.
At our recent KPWA’s 10th Anniversary Conference, she once again demonstrated her exceptional skill as a moderator. Jean navigated the conversation with poise and depth — listening carefully, weaving in thoughtful observations, and transitioning seamlessly between topics. She created an atmosphere that allowed each panelist’s voice to shine while keeping the audience fully engaged.
As the co-founder of LYP, Jean embodies the professional presence and authenticity her programs promote. It was inspiring to see her training in action, guiding a meaningful, insightful, and empowering discussion that truly captured the spirit of the event.
I would enthusiastically recommend Jean as a speaker and moderator for future panels and conferences. Her ability to connect, elevate, and engage makes every conversation she leads memorable.
