Executive Coaching Tailored to You
I coach the leader beneath the problem,
leading to the awareness and perspective needed
for sustainable growth and change
How It Works
We start with a movement from problem solving to problem definition. We then work to define and more deeply understand your values, inner compass, drivers, and blindspots. In parallel, we envision and understand the person and leader you want to be and the mark you want to make on your system and the world.
With a strong definition, we move together into the deep, messy work of transformational change, holding the space for curiosity and discomfort in service of the potential for growth and evolution. I serve as a trusted, qualified, ethical, and evidence-based partner. Everything I recommend or invite you to consider will be clear and described in plain English, and backed by scientifically-rigorous modalities centered on developmental growth and change. You control the dial on where and how deep you want to go with the process, I provide the insight and resources to help you grow.
My Story
Amy H. Kimball (she/her)
In 2022, I quit my job as an executive to follow my passion and purpose as an Executive Coach. I had been coaching part-time on the side since 2009, and throughout my years of personal and professional change, it has been a constant source of deep fulfillment and purpose.
I had previously been an academic biomedical research CEO. In my CEO tenure, I led an institutional turnaround that was all about transforming our culture as the backbone for improved processes, high performing teams, and organizational excellence. The turnaround was fueled by a coaching approach to leadership; engaging my team, our external partners, and myself in collective transformational change.
Complimenting this work was my applied organizational "action learning" while completing my Executive MBA at MIT Sloan School of Management. Through coursework and executive coaching offered by the program, I continued to deepen my coaching perspective and application.
After completing the turnaround in 2021 and co-building an incredibly gratifying high-functioning organization that people wanted to be a part of, I turned my organization over to my successor and took a leadership job in a new industry in Portland, Maine.
In 2022, finding the new job to just not be the right fit, I began contemplating a shift. In considering what brings me the most professional fulfillment and joy, expanding my executive coaching to full time was the obvious answer. I quit my job, filed for my LLC, and publicly launched a few months later.
To continue expanding and deepening my executive coaching practice, I then completed Georgetown's Leadership Coaching certificate program, where I deepened my passion for adult development theory, Immunity to Change, navigating polarities, culture and identity, anti-racism, and turning around systemic oppression and power dynamics.
I am active in several continuing professional development activities in ICF coaching, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)/Coaching (ACC), Motivational Interviewing, and Adult Development theory. I participate in several peer consultation and study groups each month, as well as coach development and supervision.

I look forward to seeing you soon!
