About Nancy
I am deeply interested in you, your story, and in partnering with you to write your next chapter of success! As a Master Certified Coach and the founder of two coaching firms, I bring 25 years of experience in developing high-performing people and teams who don’t just survive, but truly thrive in life and work. Known for my insatiable curiosity, warm yet direct approach, and ability to ask tough questions that facilitate meaningful solutions, I’m committed to helping leaders reach their fullest potential. I’ve had the privilege of serving diverse leaders across the globe, from Fortune 500 companies to three tech startups, nonprofits, and education and healthcare settings. Most recently, I spent over three years coaching Google leaders on topics like executive presence, authentic branding, leading through change, emotional intelligence, team engagement and culture, and impactful communication. My passion for employee well-being also led me to spend five years as a healthcare and hospice manager, where I gained a deep understanding of the importance of supporting individuals in all aspects of their lives.
Why do I coach?
I love being a coach because I believe there is greatness in everyone, and my purpose is to help individuals unlock their full potential. Life is most fulfilling when lived with intention and purpose, not left to chance. Working with leaders is especially rewarding, as I get to witness the ripple effect coaching has on their teams, cultures, and overall morale. When leaders thrive, so do their teams—trust grows, cultures strengthen, and performance improves. It’s incredibly fulfilling to be part of that positive transformation, helping leaders and their teams reach new heights together.
