Speaker and coach Kimberly Culbertson recasts the story of identity, leadership, and community. She helps clients to lead authentically, maximize their teams, and create an empowering culture in order to reach beyond the good to the extraordinary. Using tools like Strengthsfinder, Myers-Briggs, and Enneagram, she is able to map a team and help them to curate an environment that expresses value, appreciates diversity, and harnesses collective intelligence.

In previous roles, Kimberly has taught in the inner city of Chicago, founded a publishing company, and designed group life strategy and leadership development for Willow Creek Community Church (a megachurch in South Barrington, IL), Mission Church (a church plant in Roselle, IL), and Forge America (a national missional training network). She even made a career of throwing parties and creating community for her apartment complex for a couple of years.

Kimberly is wife to Ben, mommy to Jack, and family-by-choice to Christa, Zekie, and Elli. In everything she does, she invests her energy to move her family toward a life that’s full of meaning and adventure. She is a recovering approval addict, a paint brush loving workaholic, and a walking billboard for hope in all its many manifestations. She is not afraid to admit that latte art lifts her spirits, and she gets a little melancholy when she doesn't make it into a coffee shop for a few days.
