How will you realize potential?

Leadership coaching and accompaniment while in the not-yet-known

As your leadership coach and dedicated guide, I work with you to make what is invisible not only visible but valued and viable—helping to surface, celebrate, and integrate unrealized potential in you and your work. I am committed to fostering your unique leadership style and capacities so the potential or mission is realized, rooted, and empowered.

What wants to emerge?

Unleash the potential of the not yet known

In my experience and in working with my clients, there is a specific type of discomfort that comes from being in the “space between.” And the more we care about the results, the more intense the discomfort can feel. Intelligent coping strategies “come to the rescue,” often for us to realize, yet again, we’ve been thrown farther off course.

You’re in the right place if you want to break through and gain personal empowerment and tangible results.

This requires a different style of coaching.

Over the past five years, I have refined a holistic approach designed to enable leaders to leverage their distinctive strengths and purpose, driving profound and positive change within their spheres of influence. Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and strategy implementation, ensuring that your leadership not only aligns with your values but becomes a powerful force for positive, lasting change.

Discover new capacities

The patterns that are present today determine the future. Innovation can be unlocked when we dare to explore the unknown, expand our perspectives, and widen the ways we know.

To activate dormant capacities required for navigating the unknown, I provide leaders and teams with awareness-based practices to build trust, amplify collective knowledge, and align ways of working together.

Testimonials

  • There is a quiet magic that Nancy brings to sessions. She is highly skillful, weaving compassionate inquiry with incisive coaching, and more, in ways that have supported me to actually shift patterns that I've struggled with for years, and to feel more free. The magic comes because Nancy also has a rare intuition — as to what may be at the root, and the line of questioning that can reveal it. Beyond skill, Nancy also has a true gift. It's a blessing to work with her.

  • From first meeting Nancy nearly a decade ago, so many themes have remained consistent: an openness to experiment with structures and processes for more successful collaborative efforts; a curiosity about ways to help others find deeper connection and meaning; and a commitment to self-discovery and evolution. Through it all Nancy blends pragmatism with mysticism, expanding her toolkit to allow for wider ways of knowing, being, and doing.

  • I had the good fortune to meet Nancy through Collective Transitions. Since that time I have also worked with her as a coach and through continued constellations and systems sensing work in the social change field. In all these interactions Nancy brings her deep listening skills, presence, and clarifying questions. She gently nudges, inquires, reframes, and helps you reflect in a generative way. She has a wide range of tools in her practice — and all of them are powerful and thoughtful.

Social innovation calls for innovative approaches

  • Expand aperture and awareness

  • Surface new data and potential

  • Unlock and disrupt patterns

  • Rewire ways of working

Social innovation requires an upgrade in how we lean into what is emerging while navigating complexity and honoring the past.

Our work together is informed by participatory and inquiry-based practices and tools that utilize all of our senses to widen the ways we know.

These approaches enhance and build individual and collective capacities so you can cultivate more trust in yourself and more ease and joy while in the unknown.
