Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Kimberly Prentiss, Founder of Ignite Change Global, Executive Coach, and former fast-growth startup and Fortune 500 leader. I’ve worked alongside a founding CEO to help scale a startup to unicorn status through an exit, led communications and culture transformation for a 42,000-person global organization, and coached C-suite leaders through some of the most complex growth and change challenges.
Now I bring that experience to leaders and organizations navigating their own high-stakes moments — whether you’re stepping into leadership, scaling through investment, or driving transformation across a complex organization. My work combines the rigor of a proven executive coaching methodology with the practical perspective of someone who has been in the room when the stakes were high, and the playbook didn’t exist.
What Leaders and Organizations Have to Say
“I highly recommend Kimberly as a coach. Her coaching style and approach created an encouraging environment for exploring my mission. She actively listened and highlighted aspects of the sessions which opened my eyes to potential approaches I failed to consider previously. She emphasized accountability and we explored progress each session to ensure I was using the insight gathered to move forward.”
– Kelly H., Senior Finance Leader, USA“Before working with Kimberly, transitioning from a 33-year established corporate career to becoming a first-time entrepreneur felt terrifying. Despite decades of success, I was paralyzed by fear and lacked confidence in my ability to replicate corporate success in my own venture. Working with Kimberly as my Master Leadership Coach was instrumental in the launch of my business. Kimberly’s empathetic listening and ability to ask thought-provoking questions challenged me to rethink my limitations. She expertly guided me past my deep-seated fears, allowing me to fully embrace my capability. She provided the structure, accountability, and targeted coaching necessary to move from feeling crippled by fear to taking confident action towards a launch. I highly recommend Kimberly, a truly exceptional Master Certified Leadership Coach. Her coaching is transformative, helping me tackle the specific mental roadblocks I faced when leaving stability for freedom.”
— Dana E., Entrepreneur & Small Business Owner, USA“I began working with Kim during a significant transition and was seeking clarity and direction. Through our work together, she helped me identify what was truly required to navigate the change successfully. Kim’s depth of experience shines through her insightful questions and her ability to focus on what really matters. She guided me to look beyond the surface and deeply understand what was truly driving me, as well as my blockers. Kim’s coaching style is highly reflective and transformational; she asks powerful questions that invite deep insight. I learned a great deal about myself and what success looks like for me. Through our sessions, I developed a strong sense of ownership over my next steps and desired outcomes, overcoming my anxiety. After our sessions, I felt empowered, clear, and confident about my next steps. Highly recommend working with Kim!

Culture Accelerator
A targeted 3-month engagement for VC/PE-backed organizations and high-growth companies navigating rapid scale, post-acquisition integration, or heightened performance expectations, combining individual executive coaching with leadership team engagement to drive alignment and execution.
Using proven assessments—leadership readiness (CTRA-40®), cultural alignment (5CCA®), and individual profiles (MLEI®, DiSC®)—leaders gain data-driven insight into effectiveness, cultural gaps, and change readiness. These insights inform focused action, enabling faster execution, stronger cohesion, and sustainable performance as the organization scales.
Executive & Leadership 1:1 Coaching
Individual coaching engagements (three to nine months) are grounded in the Intelligent Leadership® Executive Coaching framework developed by John Mattone, and tailored to each leader’s context—whether navigating early-stage growth, scaling a business, or leading within an established company or nonprofit.
Using assessments such as the MLEI® and DiSC®, along with structured measurement tools, leaders gain clarity to set meaningful goals, define focused actions, and sustain development over time. This process strengthens self-awareness, aligns values with behaviors, and expands leadership impact.
Small Cohort-Based Group Coaching
Our organizational cohort programs are designed for companies investing in leadership development at scale. Programs are available for Aspiring, Emerging, and Advancing Leaders — each with a structured 12-week curriculum grounded in the Intelligent Leadership® framework, designed to build leadership capability across your organization.
Blend individual growth with the power of peer learning. Each session builds clarity, sparks actionable insights, and supports alignment with the leader’s current stage.
