About Me

Kim Bessell

What makes me tick?  Helping people achieve their goals and the best possible outcome.  The constant themes throughout my professional careers have been delivering a great outcome for each person and when you want to beat your competitor then you’d better do it smarter as well.


Having previously had very successful careers as a community pharmacist, in private and public companies, and at senior executive levels in the Australian Government Public Service, I chose to follow my passion in motorsport and coaching.  A huge direction change in my life but as a result of this background and experience, you will find that I am a great communicator.  My professional successes have been due to my willingness to take the time to fully understand the needs of each and every person then partner with them to develop individualised solutions while also lending my skills, knowledge and expertise where necessary.  Calm, clear, thoughtful and compassionate in any situation.


When not working as performance mindset coach, you will find me strapped into the co-driver seat of a rally car calling pace notes at National level dirt and tarmac rallies across Australia. In addition to being a professional rally co-driver, Kim is a Gold level driver trainer, a team manager and race strategist for circuit racing. This means that as your performance mindset coach I understand and relate to the mental pressures of competition performance in high-risk sports.  


And for the parents out there wondering about performance mindset coaching for their children competing at high levels, I am also the parent of a child (well, now an adult) who competed at international level in their chosen high-risk sport.  I know what it’s like as a parent of a high performing athlete and also how some coaching methods and tools need to be adapted for a younger mind that is still developing.


I take your trust, performance and confidentiality seriously.  That is why I have trained to the standards required by the International Coaching Federation (https://coachingfederation.org)  and, as a member of the ICF, adhere to their Code of Ethics.
