Meet Kimberly Tryon
Master Certified Life + Leadership Coach | Founder, Operation Reframe™
The Heart Behind the Work
After a 22-year career that meant everything to me, I found myself at an unexpected crossroads. What could’ve been a breakdown became a breakthrough. I immersed myself in the science of positive psychology, leadership development, and coaching—and in the process, I discovered not just a new path, but a new calling.
Operation Reframe™ was born from that transformation. It’s more than a business—it’s a mission to help others rewrite the stories that keep them small and step into the bold, aligned version of who they’re meant to be.
What I Bring to the Table
With over 30 years of experience in sales, operations, and leadership, I understand the fast pace of business—and the very human challenges that come with it. I’m a Master Certified Life Coach with specialized training in leadership psychology, emotional intelligence, and intentional change theory.
But my secret weapon?
A deeply intuitive, spiritual lens that helps me see the big picture long before it’s clear to others. I blend strategic thinking with soul-level insight to help clients unlock clarity, purpose, and momentum.
People often tell me I have a calming presence—and that even in chaos, I bring a sense of grounded possibility. I take the work seriously, but never take myself too seriously. (On a tough day, I’ll reframe it as a Seinfeld episode—it helps keep things in perspective.)
Who I Work With
High-performing professionals ready to make a meaningful change
Leaders navigating personal or professional reinvention
Teams and organizations seeking aligned, purpose-driven leadership
Humans who are just…stuck—and know there’s more for them
Whether you’re facing a transition, trying to reconnect with your purpose, or tired of spinning your wheels, you don’t have to do it alone. I help you reframe the challenge, reconnect to your power, and realign your next steps.
What It’s Like to Work With Me
Insightful. Grounded. Encouraging.
Our work will go deep—but we’ll laugh along the way. You’ll leave every session with practical tools, new perspectives, and a feeling of being seen and supported.
I don’t promise quick fixes. I offer something better:
A partnership that helps you shift from stuck to unstoppable.
Why Operation Reframe™
Because when you shift your perspective, everything else follows.
“When I’m not coaching, I’m often capturing quiet moments through my camera lens—or more often, my iPhone. Photography is one of the ways I practice reframing—pausing to notice light, contrast, and meaning in everyday moments. It’s less about the perfect shot and more about shifting perspective. While my photos aren’t front and center here (yet), the lens I bring to them is the same one I bring to my coaching: curious, intentional, and always looking deeper.”

Why Operation Reframe™
Mission
The mission of Operation Reframe™ is to ignite forward movement by helping people reframe their mindset, reconnect with their purpose, and reclaim their power to lead—whether that’s in the boardroom, a team meeting, or within themselves.
Through coaching, leadership development, and culture-building strategies, we equip individuals and organizations to shift from reaction to intention, from burnout to clarity, and from disconnection to collaboration.
We don’t just create change—we create the conditions where sustainable, people-first growth becomes the norm.
Vision
At Operation Reframe™, we envision a world where forward movement is fueled by empowered mindsets and meaningful connection. Our mission is to help individuals and organizations break free from the grip of victim mentality and step into growth, resilience, and purpose.
We believe real transformation happens when people are equipped to help people—when leadership becomes relational, not positional, and culture becomes a catalyst for collective progress.
Through mindset work, intentional coaching, and systems that support human-centered leadership, we reframe challenges into opportunities and shift stories from stuck to unstoppable.
