Chief Taynar Simpson

As a Chief navigating high-stakes decisions and complex team dynamics, I appreciate Tim as a sounding board and team partner who challenges my thinking, sharpens my vision, and helps me lead with greater clarity, insight, and purpose.

This experience has elevated how I lead, how I communicate, and how I show up for my team and stakeholders every day.

Doug Bullock, MBA, SPHR, CCP
Senior Associate Vice President of Human Resources Utah State University"I've known Tim Cormier for almost two decades and working with him has been nothing short of extraordinary. As his leader, I had the privilege of watching him consistently bring clarity, energy, and intention to every challenge and opportunity he faced. His ability to connect quickly and deeply with people, inspire action, and lead with authenticity is unmatched.
I have worked with Tim in both the public and private sector and his ability to help all kinds of leaders and employees diagnose opportunities for improvement and then coach them through effectively is a true strength of Tim's. He brings energy to every encounter and inspires others, including myself, to do the same.
I would highly recommend Tim's services to coach leaders and organizations to succeed in all their organizational development and change management efforts."
Nicole Alarcon, M.A.
Manager of Executive Administration at Laureate Education, Miami, FL"I had the pleasure of working with Tim for many years at Tracfone, where I witnessed firsthand his outstanding coaching capabilities in leadership development and fostering an Agile culture. Tim has a unique ability to connect with individuals at all levels, helping them unlock their potential and translate complex concepts into actionable insights. Most recently, I invited Tim to speak at an event in Miami for our top administrative assistants in the new company Im working for. His session was a standout—he masterfully tied together everything we had covered during the workshop and helped our group walk away with practical, manageable takeaways. Tim’s guidance was not only inspiring but incredibly effective in helping our team feel confident and empowered. I highly recommend Tim to anyone looking to partner with a coach who cares about creating valuable interactions & meaningful relationships in their lives both professionally and personally.
I'm thrilled to see Tim launch his own coaching business and have no doubt he’ll continue to make a lasting impact on individuals and organizations alike.
Go get em’ Tim!"

Tim Knippenberg
Divisional Operations Leader, Minnesota Public Employees Retirement Association"How do you avoid a common testimonial for an uncommon leader? That’s my challenge as I try to highlight the skills and attributes of Tim Cormier and Cormier Executive Optimization.
My first interaction with Tim was at Blue Cross of Idaho. Being new in my position as Director of Service Operations. One of my immediate assignments was understanding our challenges and opportunities as it related to our department employee satisfaction scores from staff.
Along with Tim, we digested the results and with his guidance developed a roadmap to gain input as well as create an action plan. In addition to developing a formal plan, Tim played the lead role in facilitating the feedback forums with staff. I was amazed with Tim’s infectiously energy and ability to work a room. Instantly gaining trust and input from team members.
As a result of Tim’s guidance, our improved employee survey results were amazing year over year. Tim’s guidance in this year served as a best practice I still leverage today.
Tim’s presence, along with developing an actionable plan not only inspired our staff but the leadership team as well. Whatever operational or strategic challenges your organization may be facing, I strongly encourage you to engage Tim Cormier. I promise. It will be the first step toward your organizations better tomorrow.
