We had the good fortune of connecting with Kim Normand Dobrin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kim, what is the most important factor behind your success?
My success has always come from a place of commitment to making positive impact to the world and other’s lives. Being Real!Watching and being witness in my own life personally, with my children and with others globally, the need for real life skills and tools to understand and develop EQ and LQ has always been so profoundly apparent. Generally conversations are limited and avoided around difficult concepts and topics such as fear, anxiety, tolerance, dreams and love. Yes, these are some issues that limit our abilities and lives stopping us from reaching our potential and living a happy life. Our brand comes from a foundation of authenticity that we have lived this journey and learnt and grown from it. We are honest, open and relatable which allows for relationship building that is based on an easy way to navigate and share with others supporting their journeys. Our tools are easy to access and understand and THEY WORK!!! It is imperative for us that we deliver quality and impact for anyone who engages with us on all levels!!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
In the latest survey over 70% of Americans said they would change their jobs and lives but are too afraid to do so! This is the challenge that we address. Coming from a successful international career and perspective, our business Free The Mind Co is an accumulation of best practices and experiences. Free The Mind Co works to give real skills and tools to transform thought patterns and enhance emotional intelligence and LQ. We give life changing courses and workshops for adults and children. For schools, teachers and parents, we have a powerful SEL program with a full curriculum based on lovable characters that are relatable to everyone. It is interactive, fun and powerful with immediate impact. The teacher training nurtures and supports teachers and parents. Coming from a childhood filled with trauma and no real parental support or guidance, my life work is all about giving exactly this to as many people as possible at all ages. It fills my heart to see children, teachers and adults participate in our programs. I love working with women to create a life that they love to get up to each day. Each step that takes them to another level of Ah Ha moments of self awareness and understanding of themselves and the world around them. To witness and see the joy and positivity coming from these interactions is both affirming and a confirmation that you can indeed create a life that you love! This is what we do and its fun, joyous, authentic and real!! We show each individual how to make change to their lives to bring joy to every day.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I love the mountains around Georgia where we would hike and embrace the beauty of the trees and surroundings. Delicious food will always be apart of the agenda to share and enjoy! The museums like the High Museum, the History Museum and the Center for Civil and Human Rights always puts everything in perspective for me so I take time to share these with our visitors. Going for a relaxed meal and walk around Ponce City Market and the parks is so lovely!! so I always add this to the itinerary.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
“Freeing Freddie the Dream Weaver” the book series by Brent Feinberg who at such a young age has committed to giving joy to the world.
