 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, a City Council candidate, 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 align on purpose, work better together, and deliver results that last.

Leadership Meets Real Life


  • Conversations are brave, not performative
  • Insight is paired with action
  • Alignment comes from purpose, not pressure
  • We say no to what drains us—and yes to what fuels us
  • Leadership is earned through trust, not noise
  • Everyone has talent worth contributing
  • Time isn’t saved or wasted—it’s valued and optimized.

Leadership meets real life because leaders are real people navigating real complexity.

Real transformation happens when:

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 realization became the foundation for my coaching and advisory work.

In 2019, I founded Personologie, and my practice grew quickly—from coaching a founder in San Francisco, to advising a global high-growth company of 1,000+ employees, to supporting senior leaders across industries, teams, and countries. I’ve coached executives in marketing, product, engineering, finance, operations, and people leadership, and advised founders through some of the most complex decisions of their careers.

I bring the same calm, direct, strategic voice to every conversation—cutting through the noise and helping leaders do the work that actually moves things forward.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

My work blends:
  • Leadership advisory for CEOs, founders, and senior executives
  • Systemic team coaching to strengthen alignment, communication, and operating rhythm
  • Strengths-based development grounded in Gallup certification
  • Systems thinking that reveals what’s actually happening beneath the surface
  • Deep operational experience that helps translate insight into action
I help leaders and teams get clear, aligned, and effective—quickly.
Conversations become commitments.
Commitments become results.
And results shape a culture that makes performance sustainable.
