I’m Kim Giddens, Founder of Personologie, Leadership Advisor, Executive & Team Coach (PCC, Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach), and someone who has spent more than 20 years leading, coaching, and advising teams through high-stakes moments of growth, change, and complexity.

I believe leadership shows up everywhere—from the boardroom to the ballfield. I’m a baseball mom, active in local government, and someone who knows that the hardest leadership moments are rarely about tactics. They’re about people, perspective, and the courage to make decisions that matter.

I help leaders and teams perform well in moments that matter.

Leadership Meets Real Life

Before launching Personologie, I spent two decades leading teams across NYC retail and global consumer brands—managing 3,000+ employees, scaling stores and teams, navigating restructures, and helping organizations move through demanding growth cycles.

My work took me from the sales floor to the executive table, through turnarounds, hypergrowth, brand reinventions, and moments of cultural reset. I learned that:

my path here

Most leadership problems aren’t people problems—they’re system problems disguised as people problems.

That insight became the foundation of my advisory and coaching work.

I founded Personologie in 2019, and my practice grew quickly — from coaching founders and senior leaders to advising high-growth organizations with teams across industries and geographies. I’ve worked with leaders in marketing, product, engineering, finance, operations, and people leadership during some of their most complex decisions.

I bring a calm, direct, strategic presence to every engagement — cutting through noise and helping leaders focus on what actually moves the work forward.
