Organizations today are full of activity…meetings, projects, initiatives, deadlines. People are working hard. And yet leaders keep asking the same question: "With all this effort, why aren't we getting better results?"

That question is what drives Kim Poremski's work. The founder of Agile Prowess, Kim is a speaker, trainer, and organizational change expert with 30+ years of experience across banking, finance, healthcare, insurance, and retail. She has worked with teams and leaders at every level, from frontline teams to large-scale organizational transformations.

Kim is one of a select group of Certified Scrum Trainers® (CSTs) worldwide — a designation that represents deep expertise in organizational agility, team effectiveness, and leading change. She has delivered keynotes and workshops at regional and national events, served as emcee for the 2023 Global Scrum Gatherings in Portland and Amsterdam, and delivered the closing keynote at the 2025 Scrum Gathering in Banff, Canada.

Beyond the stage, Kim also designs and facilitates leadership meetings, offsites, and retreats, helping organizations make their most important gatherings purposeful, productive, and memorable.
