OUR STORY
Recovering Leadership
The Kimmell Foundation was born from a simple realization:
Many leaders are achieving results—but losing connection to what matters most.
Founder Thomas Hill III saw that even successful organizations were often missing something deeper—alignment between performance and purpose.
This led to the creation of Recovering Leadership, built on one core belief:
We cannot live our best lives unless the people around us are living theirs.
The Kimmell Foundation exists to help leaders return to that truth—equipping them to lead with clarity, build healthy cultures, and create organizations where people are valued, developed, and able to thrive.
A Whole-Person Approach to Leadership
We are here to develop, support, and strengthen leaders in the work that matters most:
Our mission
Leadership that values people. Organizations that last.
Garman Kimmell believed that strong organizations are built by leaders who understand the responsibility they carry—not just for results, but for people. His legacy reflects a commitment to integrity, long-term thinking, and valuing individuals at every level of an organization.
The Kimmell Foundation carries that forward by equipping leaders to build healthy cultures, align purpose with performance, and lead in a way that develops others. Through community, mentorship, and practical leadership development, we help leaders create organizations where people are supported, engaged, and able to thrive.
