Kim Alexis Newton is someone who knows how to create new moves—whether that’s a career transition, pursuing a personal dream, or developing a new work of art. She has moved seamlessly through her roles in life: a former corporate executive, board director, artist, entrepreneur, mentor, and mom.
Let me start by raving about Kim’s art.
“Art gives us the power to pause, reflect, and transform.”
– Kim Alexis Newton
When I first saw one of Kim’s gift quilts, I was completely captivated. The image was of a dancer—strong, joyous, full of life. Stitched across the quilt were the words:
“I fixed my horizon and hung the sun where it suited me better.”
I had to have it. It spoke to something deep within me—the idea that reinvention isn’t something we wait for permission to do. It’s something we claim.
In this week’s episode of The Leadership Dance, Kim shares how she’s successfully reinvented herself—from her 20+ year career as a Hallmark executive to becoming a celebrated fiber artist and an independent board director, and founding The Intentional Pause™ Project.
🎧 The Art of Strategic Reinvention is a conversation about:
Making bold pivots and trusting your vision
Blending creativity with business strategy
Leading with purpose, presence, and power
Creating legacy through art, mentorship, and intention
Kim’s story is a powerful example of what can happen when we stop waiting for permission and start creating the lives we were meant to lead. If you’re contemplating making moves of your own, don’t miss this episode!
