Executive Coach
About me

At Higher Cognition, we believe leadership

is not a position—it’s a mindset. Founded by Coach Ron

Kardashian our mission is to help individuals and

organizations unlock their highest potential through

science-driven behavioral leadership.

It's a time where improvisation reigns, allowing me to surrender to the moment and embrace all the elements that surround me. While organization is key in my life, photography offers me freedom to escape into a different world for a few hours.

Our Mission

To empower leaders and organizations with tools that inspire growth, elevate performance, and create lasting transformation.

Our Philosophy

True leadership begins within — we help individuals discover purpose, build confidence, and lead with integrity.

Where Science Meets Service

Because in the new era of hospitality, the difference between good and unforgettable isn’tjust what your team does — it’s who they become and how they treat and synergize withthe team and hotel guests.

The Science Behind 5-Star Performance.
IQ + EQ + AQ = Platinum Service™
(The Formula for Five-Star Performance)

True excellence isn’t just about skill — it’s about adaptability.An evidence-based model that measures and develops all three dimensions of human potential:

IQ – Intelligence Quotient: Cognitive sharpness, decision-making speed, and problemsolving under pressure.

EQ – Emotional Quotient: The ability to connect, empathize, and emotionally regulate in high-stakes environments.

AQ – Adaptability Quotient: The emerging key to leadership success — resilience, flexibility, and the capacity to thrive amid constant change.

When combined, these three forces create what Kardashian calls Platinum Service™—a culture where leaders and teams think smarter, feel deeper, and adapt faster to deliver unforgettable guest experiences.

Meet the Architect of Human Excellence

Because in the new era of hospitality, the difference between good and unforgettable isn’tjust what your team does — it’s who they become and how they treat and synergize withthe team and hotel guests.

“I grew up in the world of four- and five-star hotels. The culture of excellence, warmth, and attention to detail shaped a great deal of who I am. Today, I’m helping hotel personnel rediscover what true hospitality means — not just luxury, but heart. When staff thrive emotionally, guests feel it instantly.” – Coach Ron
