Michael Kim is the first and only clinical scientist to invent a breakthrough, clinically validated method that makes new healthy habits unconscious in just 6 days (11-times faster than the previous clinical standard) and persist as long as a year.

Kim is Founder & CEO of Habit Design, the first clinically validated habit acceleration program and the first behavior change program ever awarded a prestigious SBIR research grant from the National Institutes of Health ($2 million). Developed by leading habit psychologists from Harvard, Stanford Medical School, Yale, and the University of Washington, Habit Design has trained over 100,000 people to create over 1 million new healthy, unconscious habits. They are the only behavior change company to receive the American College of Cardiology's Innovation of the Year award.

Trained under Harvard Business School Professor Clayton Christensen, the founder of "disruptive innovation" theory and author of "The Innovator's Dilemma", Kim previously was the founding Managing Director of Blue Ocean Ventures, a leading innovation strategy coaching firm to Fortune 100 executives from Google, Apple, Harvard, Samsung, The World Bank, et.al., generating over $1 billion in new market revenue for clients. He has also served as Managing Director of New Consumer Products at Microsoft, Science Advisor to the White House, and Adjunct Lecturer at Harvard, Stanford Medical School, USC Keck School of Medicine, and MIT Sloan School of Management.
