Aimee Gibson is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and former management consulting executive with more than 20 years of experience helping leaders grow into their next chapter of leadership. Known for her ability to connect deeply and challenge thoughtfully, Aimee is a trusted executive coach, consultant, facilitator, and speaker across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. Her work spans industries and geographies, from international companies to local organizations, where she supports individual leaders and entire teams in meaningful growth and transformation. As founder of BraveJoy Leadership, she helps leaders move beyond imposter syndrome and self-doubt, and instead ground themselves in self-awareness, resilience, and values-driven leadership. Her clients often describe her as both anchor and catalyst, someone who helps them trust their strengths, manage conflict with confidence, stay calm under pressure, and lead with authenticity.

At the heart of Aimee’s coaching is a focus on preparing leaders for greater leadership responsibility.

She works extensively with family business leaders and non-family executives of family businesses, equipping them to step into new levels of clarity, courage, and effectiveness. She uses powerful assessment tools, stakeholder interviews, identity exercises, focus groups, gaming, and group discussions to unlock insight and build capacity. Drawing from adult development theory, organizational change management, and mindfulness practices she studied at The Center for Mind-Body Medicine, Aimee creates the “brave spaces” leaders need to experiment, learn, and grow.

Aimee has also shared her expertise as an adjunct faculty member at both Georgetown University and American University, where she expanded the capacity within leaders through coaching, and designing and delivering master’s level consulting curriculum respectively.

In addition to her day job, Aimee is a proud mother and an active community member. Aimee currently serves as President-Elect of the International Coach Federation – Nebraska Chapter; Board Member of the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation; Co-Lead of the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce P.O.W.E.R. Award; Community Ambassador for the City of Omaha’s “We Make Omaha” Initiative; and Co-Treasurer of the Elkhorn Ridge Middle School Booster Club.
