Kim Kulikowskis, Senior Manager of Sales and Leadership Training at IBSA Pharma USA: Discovering the Right Fit Kim shared how she discovered Personify Leadership while searching for a program that could blend into a six-month leadership development plan. After meeting Michelle at a training event, Kim explored Personify’s program and felt an immediate fit. She appreciated the experiential nature, industry versatility, and strong engagement the program offered—far from the dull, PowerPoint-heavy training sessions she had seen elsewhere. This combination made it ideal for both emerging and current leaders.

Personal Growth and Reflection: Kim spoke candidly about how the program personally impacted her. Despite years of experience in pharmaceutical sales, she found the course helped her reflect more deeply on leadership fundamentals she’d taken for granted. Lessons on courageous conversations, emotional intelligence, and leading with intention reminded her not to “wing it,” but to prepare and act with purpose. These lessons became practical tools for her leadership style.

Cultural Impact and Internal Delivery: Following certification, Kim quickly began delivering the course internally, seeing strong enthusiasm and culture shifts among participants. Leaders at all levels—including executives—were eager to join. The physical anchor tools like cards and stress balls kept lessons visible and active in the workplace. These tools sparked follow-up conversations and maintained engagement, creating lasting impact beyond the classroom.

Sustaining Learning and Looking Ahead: Kim emphasized that Personify Leadership isn’t a “one-and-done” program. She outlined how her team breaks components like “Voice of a Leader” and “Spine of a Leader” into year-long focus areas, ensuring continued application. Using DiSC assessments and new tools like Wiley’s Catalyst platform, her team is customizing learning by communication styles. She closed by praising the program’s simplicity, relevance, and memorability, noting that its human-centered design makes it accessible and transformative for all.
