Life and Family Coaching - Dr. Kimberly Corson

Hi! I’m Kimberly Corson, PhD.

Executive Coach, Leadership Coach,

& Catalyst for Change.

I’m a developmental psychologist, podcaster, and leadership coach that specializes in guiding high-achieving clients through transformational moments in their life and career. My approach combines both my PhD in developmental psychology and Master’s Degree in literature and creative writing for a uniquely effective blend of art and science that helps people tune into their thoughts and emotions, reconnect with their inner voice, manage fear, and embark on a healthy, balanced path to success.

Highly, highly recommend.

I love the way Dr. Kim works! I appreciate her mentality, our conversations and I always look forward to meeting with her. 🙂 Highly, highly recommend her for peace of mind.

Operating at a Different Level

The experience with Dr. Kim has been amazing – it has really helped me in my work as an Executive VP.  I appreciate the ability to share and just ideate while she digs in with her questions and insights.  I am operating at a different level than I was before and am contributing greatly to the success of my company while increasing my satisfaction.

Igniting my Imagination

The exercises Dr. Kim gives are things I never thought about before. They ignited a part of my brain and imagination that I don’t ever put to use. Her coaching has actually made a huge difference in the way I manage projects and is a reminder to keep an open mind about how creative I can be.

Inspiring Others to Think Bigger

I see Dr. Kim’s coaching as really helping me in my own questions of others.  I have improved my own listening and being in the moment as a leader, during a time of complete unknowns.  I’ve learned how to inspire others to think bigger. And she’s helped with my goal setting work – how to turn what was historically highly quantitative to highly qualitative was exciting and empowering.

Helping me "in the moment"

The “in the moment” phrases we’ve worked on have been life-changing for me. I went from freezing during a stressful moment to knowing what to say or do to cope. I look at them all the time (on post-it notes, on my work computer) and think about them constantly, both during work and any other time that seems hard in the moment. I’m so thankful for Dr. Kim.

A huge breakthrough

I’ve seen a lot of growth in my overall ability to see myself and the world around me through a clearer lens. I am less afraid, more at peace, and much less judgmental of those who don’t agree with my perspective in life. My spirituality and faith have increased. I’m feeling my emotions so much more–the whole spectrum of emotions–and I feel grateful for them. I feel like I’m on the verge of a huge breakthrough.

Dr. Kim is a very knowledgeable resource. I highly recommend her hybrid coaching groups. She can help guide you in the right direction and provides excellent insight for your personal situation. Her observations and suggestions can help you get back on track.

Struggles Lead to Opportunity

I have been struggling lately with the pandemic, but it has had an interesting effect on my current and future career goals. Perhaps for a lot of people this extra thinking and breathing time has led to me really focusing in on my goals. The exercises Dr. Kim gives me really help to fine tune what is important to me and how that translates into which opportunities to pursue.

Reframing Surrender

Reframing Surrender

Surrender comes from the Anglo Norman French roots for “to give back over.”  Of course, if we look at it through the lens of control and dominance, then we would assume that what we give back over is, indeed, our power. But suppose for a moment that we put on different lenses–ones that reflect connectedness and respect for self and others. What, then, would we give back over? How could we reframe surrender?

Unlocking the power of anger: Empowering yourself with sacred rage

Unlocking the power of anger: Empowering yourself with sacred rage

When I first introduced the concept of sacred rage, I was met with silence and deer in the headlight looks. My heart pounded–OH NO, I thought. I’ve just unleashed Pandora’s Box (another archetype I want to dive into, but I digress). If there’s one thing that my years in education taught me, it’s that silence is powerful, albeit unnerving. So I let it be. I gave it time to let the words sink in, to let the old beliefs and patterns feel the disruption. And then, bit by bit, the comments started to flow. I wasn’t expecting participants’ reaction.
