Kim Van Lue, ACC, MBA, Founder Northspring Leadership and Co-Founder Thriving Women Leaders
Kim has lead teams for more than 20 years in a wide variety of environments. She has learned from some incredible mentors who taught her how to gain trust, manage competing priorities, address conflict in healthy, productive ways, make decisions despite insufficient or incomplete information, and motivate others around a common vision. She has experienced firsthand how great leadership can act as rocket fuel propelling everyone on the team to new heights. And, she knows that weak leadership and toxic cultures can be soul-crushing and can drive even the most resilient talent to burnout.
Kim has executive roles in diverse organizations ranging from the VP of Talent Management for a large industrial distributor to the chief HR leader for a non-profit with a large public higher education institution. For two decades, she has partnered with senior leadership teams to deliver strategic HR and talent solutions that enable the business. From being voted employee of the year by her peers at a family-owned software company to receiving multiple CEO Awards as an executive in a Fortune 500 company, Kim has been consistently successful no matter the industry, size, ownership structure or culture.
She has been a culture chameleon who quickly identified the unspoken norms that were key to success in each environment. As a strategic HR leader, she is eager to champion and model the healthy organizational or group norms, and other times, she has worked to shift or alter group norms in ways that more fully aligned with the intended business culture and outcomes.
