Inclusive Excellence Speaker Biographies – Coale

Coale

Kevin Coale

Kevin believes in the inherent capacity of people and the powerful role of choice and voice in their growth and development. His mission is straightforward: To help others create the lives that they want, articulating their purpose and honing their practices.

Certified in the Birkman Method®, he uses this remarkable program in coaching, speaking, and training to help people see how their work style affects both their professional and personal lives. True inclusivity is about recognizing and meeting individual needs, enabling everyone to excel and thrive.

His academic journey led him to an M.A. in Organizational Leadership from Columbia University and a B.A. in History from the University of Virginia. Kevin holds additional certifications in individual and team coaching from Goldvarg Consulting Group, business transformation through AI from INSEAD, violence prevention with Jackson Katz, and mindfulness fundamentals from Mindful Schools.

His roots in education—as a teacher, coach, dean, and director of student leadership—have instilled a deep respect for the learning process, teamwork, and the importance of being responsive to each individual's journey. Being part of the University of Virginia's 2006 National Championship lacrosse team and serving in four remarkable schools, across different states, has profoundly influenced his approaches to teamwork and leadership.

Now, as a Professional Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation, Kevin specializes in supporting early-stage founders and emerging leaders, especially in the tech sector. He offers one-on-one and team coaching, and he is a Founding Coach for two AI companies, helping build positive, high-performing cultures from the ground up.
