ABOUT ME:

Kevin Kowalick

20+ years of experience in corporate America, from a decade on Madison Avenue in NYC working at 3 of the top 5 global ad agencies and another decade+ working at the largest media conglomerate in the world as a corporate VP in strategy, marketing, and tech.

I have an MBA and am an adjunct professor at a business school. After achieving the highest level of the International Coaching Federation’s (ICF) training, I passed the certification exam, completed supervised & mentor hours, and have passed a rigorous ICF credentialing process and exam.

Aside from the degrees and credentials, I have experienced real world success, but that success came with great real world pain.

...BUT THAT SUCCESS CAME WITH PAIN...

I’ve had challenging clients, bosses, and co-workers. I’ve been in political situations that rival the West Wing or Game of Thrones. I’ve had to navigate demanding and manipulative personalities and corporate bureaucracies.

There was pain, but with the right coaches and mentors and mindset shifts and habit-setting, I made it all work for me instead of letting it drown me. I figured out how to be my real and authentic self at work. I found my voice. I quieted the imposter syndrome. I learned that NO is a complete sentence. I went from working nights and weekends and being addicted to my phone to being a super present dad and husband with strong boundaries while still being a high performer at work. I went from a stressed-out couch potato who ate too many chips and drank too many beers to a health and wellness fanatic.

I am and will always be a work in progress, but with support of executive coaches and other important people in my life, I’ve built a toolbox that I can dig into when I get stuck or when I encounter a challenging situation or person.

KNOW WHEN TO ASK FOR HELP

I’ve hired my own leadership coaches and therapists. We are not stranded on islands in this life. We need to ask for help and lean on others who are experts in helping us achieve our goals.

People hire sports coaches, acting coaches, marketing coaches…or even just babysitters or the teenager down the street to cut your grass – we can’t do everything on our own, and there are moments in our lives when we need a partner – I act as that partner.

And when you do achieve your goals, it will feel amazing. You’ll feel free, unencumbered, unstuck, lighter, stronger, and ready to crush anything that comes your way.
