Kim Scheinberg Mentor 2012....

Describe yourself briefly.

Kim is an editor of both words and ideas. There is little she enjoys more than helping people explore & refine their thoughts in new and interesting ways. Finds talents in people that they didn't know they had, and helps them exploit the ones they already recognize.

Kim edits herself just as rigorously. She enjoys nothing more than being asked to defend her convictions, even her most deeply-held ones. She is quick to update her beliefs & practices in the face of new evidence, & seeks out the company of those who can hold two contrary positions at once.

She knows that the best way to change the world is often by intervening in the lives of people who will. Her forays into the social entrepreneur space have convinced her that age does not confer wisdom, that great thinkers come in all shapes and sizes, and the greatest ideas are the ones that cross boundaries of generations, disciplines, nations, & beliefs.

As a parent she is an editor again, encouraging enthusiasm here, paring one back there, shaping ideas instead of rejecting them. Her 2 boys need more role models too!

She is addicted to pinball, kale chips, and angel investing.
