About McQueen Mentoring

Who?

McQueen Mentoring exists for coaches who are serious about their craft—and ready to move beyond ticking boxes. Mentor coaching should not feel like admin. Our mission is to make it something you actually look forward to: valuable, challenging, supportive, and yes—even fun. Whether you’re working toward ICF accreditation or just want to deepen your skills, this is a space where growth gets real (and useful).

I’m Kim - ICF PCC, registered Mentor Coach, Assessor, and someone who’s been around the block more than a few times. I’ve been coaching senior leaders and execs since 2017 and mentoring coaches for the last year. I've worked with the AoEC as faculty on their Practitioner Diploma programme, assessed countless recordings, and helped brilliant coaches raise their game with direct, constructive, and refreshingly fluff-free feedback.

Before that? A decade in corporate finance. So I know what high-stakes environments feel like, what makes people tick (or burn out), and what kind of coaching actually lands. I built Storm McQueen to help leaders navigate that terrain and created McQueen Mentoring because I saw how much untapped potential there was in great coaches being left to work it all out alone.

Why Work With Me?

• I Know the ICF Inside-Out
  Credentialing can feel like a maze. I help you navigate it clearly and strategically, whether you're aiming for ACC, PCC, or preparing for renewal.

• Straight Talk, Big Heart
  I won’t sugar-coat, and I won’t shy away from what needs to be said but you’ll always feel supported. Think poignant feedback with a strong dose of humanity (and the odd well-placed swear word, if you're into that).

• Tailored, Not Templated
  One-size-fits-all? Not here. We work in a way that suits you whether that's one-to-one, in a small group, or a mix of both. Your goals. Your pace. Your practice.

Mentor coaching with me is designed to stretch your thinking, strengthen your skills, and remind you why you became a coach in the first place. So if you're ready to cut through the noise, sharpen your edge, and bring a bit more boldness into your coaching, let’s get to work.

What Do Our Clients Say?

Hear from happy clients about their experiences.

I just wanted to write a note to utterly and inadequately try and thank you for all your support, guidance, compassion, and wit to help me get through. THANK YOU! You were such a great mentor throughout the process. The experience was transformational in so many ways and I'm excited about the journey ahead. It has been a privilege to have the opportunity to work with you.

Executive Coach

I was fortunate to have had Kim as my mentor during my time studying for my Executive Coaching Practitioner Diploma with the AoEC. Kim’s wealth of coaching experience was evident in her insightful and practical feedback. Kim’s encouraging and positive coaching style proved to be invaluable in helping me successfully complete my certification, and I’m sure that her feedback and guidance will stand me in good stead for many years to come. I highly recommend Kim to aspiring or experienced coaches looking to take their practice to the next level.

Lecturer & Executive Coach and Mentor

Kim observed our sessions but also played an active role in supporting us. The way she engaged with us instantly made me feel safe - and truly embrace vulnerability. Kim was always attentive to our needs, and I learned a lot from her thoughtful and honest feedback after observing our coaching practice. She answered my questions about how she runs her own coaching sessions. This gave me invaluable insights beyond what we had learned in our training and sparked so many ideas for my own practice. Meeting and working with Kim has been truly inspirational—I’ve learned so much from her, and I deeply appreciate her ongoing support. I would highly recommend Kim as a coach, mentor, and facilitator to anyone looking for expertise, warmth, and guidance in their coaching journey.

Executive Coach

Working with Kim has been an incredibly transformative experience. From the very beginning, Kim’s thoughtfulness and deep empathy made me feel seen and understood. She created a safe, supportive space where I could explore my challenges and aspirations, knowing that I’ll always receive guidance grounded in kindness and genuine care. Kim has a unique ability to ask the right questions, gently pushing me out of my comfort zone in a way that feels both encouraging and empowering. Her positive challenges have helped me grow in ways I didn’t think were possible, and I’m constantly inspired by her insightful and knowledgeable approach. She not only helped me navigate obstacles but also equipped me with the tools and mindset to tackle future challenges with confidence.I am incredibly grateful for her support and expertise, and I truly feel that with Kim’s mentorship, I’ve gained the clarity and strength I needed to move forward in my coaching journey.
