Kevin Thibodeaux (AKA Coach Kev)

What do you do professionally?

I began my professional life as a business change consultant and entrepreneur. Now I am a dating and relationship coach for high-achieving, busy women who are tired of wasting time with online dating and are ready to find forever love.

What is the most enjoyable part of your job?

Today, I’m living my dream as a coach. My workday includes supporting amazing people in envisioning resonant futures, discovering who they are at their core, and recognizing what is most meaningful to them. With this awareness, they can create and live more fulfilling lives. That’s happiness!

What is the biggest challenge you face?

The biggest challenge I face now is simultaneously growing my coaching practice and the Date Smarter community. The Date Smarter community is an online, safe space where members can be vulnerable together to explore and navigate challenges in a rapidly changing dating environment.

What sorts of interesting places has your position taken you? Do you have a favorite?

Given the pandemic, I have not been to any interesting places yet, but I do envision speaking to audiences and meeting with clients all over the world.

What is the best professional advice you’ve received?

You have two ears and one mouth. You should listen twice as much as you talk.

Aside from your current role, what is your dream job?

My dream job is a luxury vacation reviewer.

Professionally or personally, what are you excited about right now?

I am excited about this new chapter in life. Being wholly alive to help others have the love life they want!

What do you like to do outside of work?

Outside of work, I like to hike, workout, read, volunteer, explore Southern California, travel, and hang out with family and friends.

What is the most important thing you learned during your time at Fuqua?

I learned to listen, learn, and lead. As a leader, I gained competence, confidence, and compassion.

Who was your favorite professor?

Peter Wilson was my favorite professor for Financial Accounting.

What is your favorite Fuqua memory?

My favorite memory is graduation. Meeting the families of classmates and celebrating our accomplishments together was unforgettable!

What does Team Fuqua mean to you?

Team Fuqua means family. Family all over the world doing incredible things to make it a better place.
