Meet Kim Galske.

Co-founder of Rewired Dynamics.

As a previous Sophia Leadership Learning Circle Series participant, she uses her leadership & communication skills to build leaders in corporate, sports and military organizations.

In 2017, the Leadership Learning Circle Series brought individuals across our community together to learn & grow in their self-awareness, teambuilding, and community support.

Through a nonprofit scholarship, Kim was able to participate in our leadership series. We’re grateful for our great community partners on making that happen!

Today, Kim works at Rewired Dynamics, and Communication Coaching.

As a veteran of both the United States Marine Corps, Army National Guard, Mrs. Wisconsin United States 2019, and former Executive Director for Salute the Troops, she is always challenging the status quo.

Her ability to provide ingenious, innovative problem solving to a wide variety of businesses and organizations makes her a sought-after expert on culture dynamics and how to liberate leaders.

Keep working on those big ideas, Kim. We’ll always be here to support you & your work!
