behind the coaching.
Nancy pairs a background in direct sales, sales transformation consulting, and entrepreneurship with a coaching style built on focusing clients on their gains.
I have been passionate about serving as a coach for nearly a decade. I’ve had the privilege of partnering with more than 150 clients with over 5,000 hours of coaching calls.
My sales career began in between completing my undergraduate degree from Radford University and my master’s degree in communication sciences and disorders from the University of Washington, D.C. I excelled as a producer and leader for Southwestern Advantage, which is the oldest direct selling company in the country.
I went to work for a consulting firm in London that specializes in sales transformation by supporting clients in both the strategy and effectiveness of their sales force.
Most recently I worked as an LV Consultant/Entrepreneur running a multi-level marketing premium skincare business, reaching the top 2% in the business alongside my own private coaching enterprise.
In all these roles, I had the opportunity to lead others, and I found that playing an integral part in others’ success is such a gift.
I draw on so many challenges and wins from along the way, but to name a few:
• I focus on what I can control and work to not expend energy on what I can’t.
• I consistently check in on my internal dialogue, what am I saying to myself about myself or a certain situation, and my mindset as I progress through my day.
• I support others where they are and with what they’re working through.
There is no singular right path, and the client knows intuitively what the best course of action for them will be to get where they want to go. It’s my role to support and create space for them to process and create a plan that makes the most sense for them.
• Top Rookie and Experienced Salesperson — Top 1% out of 1,500.
• Top Recruiter and Team Leader — Top 2% out of 2,500.
• Top Recruiter and Sales Leader who has helped many people achieve their personal and professional goals — Top 5% out of 25,000.
Personal wins: 20+ years married to Daniel with three healthy, wonderful children, Scarlett, Joe, and Ben. The Grave Gang is what motivates me to show up and work to put my best foot forward each day. I have also been working with a wellness coach, and I’m making the time to take the best care of myself!
Exceptional coaching is when a client feels heard, safe, supported, and challenged.
They have the space to verbally process their own thoughts and to have the courage to make a shift in their own perspective, views, and outlook. This enables them to approach things in a different way, which typically enables them to get out of their own way and to find easier, more strategic solutions for themselves. This new approach or perspective enables clients to move faster and achieve more in a shorter period! How exciting is that?
I have a passionate, positive, anything-is-possible approach towards coaching clients. I love challenging individuals to focus on their GAINS, what they are doing well, and all the plates they are successfully spinning.
I love working with clients on strategic efficiencies and how to work smarter, spend more time doing what they truly enjoy, and how to automate, delegate, and/or eliminate tasks and activities.
I also love setting clear and concise goals with clients in both their professional and personal lives. Typically, when we look after ourselves outside of work and schedule and plan for things we enjoy out of the office, that fills our cups. This will then allow us to have the required drive and energy professionally to keep giving and going!
The seed for coaching was initially planted when I picked up my life and moved countries in my mid-20s, and I had my first experience partnering with a coach. She asked me a key question that shifted everything for me: “What exactly do you want your life to look like?”
I was instantly empowered, and my thoughts shifted to what I truly wanted, desired, and dared to dream about, as opposed to the obstacles and challenges that I perceived were in my way. I felt empowered, free, light, and excited for my future.
Coaching feels like home to me. It feels effortless. It’s exactly what I am meant to be doing. I thoroughly enjoy learning about each of my clients’ backgrounds, histories, and experiences: the things that have gotten them to where they are today and will move them to where they want to go! What a complete honor and privilege to be in the front row seat of someone’s life to support them in reaching their goals in life.
