A senior leader or executive ready to step into the next level of leadership with greater clarity and confidence.
A business owner or CEO carrying the weight of decisions alone and seeking perspective from a trusted partner.
An individual at a deliberate point of change, seeking clarity before making your next move.
Someone who wants to lead more authentically, aligning who you are with how you show up.
For more than 30 years, I’ve helped leaders and organizations make sense of complexity — first as an advertising and brand executive at Leo Burnett in Chicago, and now as an executive coach, professor, and Vistage Chair.
Along the way, I’ve:
- Managed and mentored 300+ executives across career stages
- Helped leaders clarify who they are, what they stand for, and how they lead
- Seen that the strongest leadership comes from self-awareness, honesty, and intentional growth
Today, I work with people who are capable, thoughtful, and motivated — and who want a trusted partner to help them think clearly and move forward with confidence.
My role isn’t to provide answers.
It’s to ask better questions, surface blind spots, and help you align intention with action.
You’ll be challenged thoughtfully, not pushed into someone else’s version of success
You’ll experience accountability without pressure, creating steady progress without burnout
You’ll gain real momentum, turning insight into action and clarity into forward movement.
You’ll develop leadership that’s authentic and sustainable, grounded in your values, strengths, and lived experience.
We create space to slow down, reflect, and understand what’s really happening beneath the surface.
We surface blind spots, patterns, strengths, and edges — using conversation, reflection, and proven leadership tools.
You’ll be challenged to question assumptions, reframe perspectives, and think differently.
We align your actions with your values, strengths, and leadership identity.
You move forward with confidence, intention, and accountability.

“Nina elevates the conversation beyond what is going on in your situation, she hunts down why it's happening. Once there is clarity about why you have great command over visualizing and realizing opportunities to grow and change.”
I was fortunate to be able to work with Nina during a career transition period. Through her objective guidance, I was able to better understand my life’s purpose. This led me to be able to evolve my personal branding statement, getting me back on track to achieve my career goals. I would highly recommend Nina!
Coaching sessions with Nina have prompted me to reflect and dig deeper into defining and valuing the nuances of my identity. Learning to embrace what makes me unique has allowed me to embark on a chapter of life filled with career shifts, new beginnings, and important life decisions. I now have greater confidence in my strengths and the value I can add to my community, career, and relationships.
I knew I wanted something new but was paralyzed by the thought of change. A few sessions with Nina and I had my resume together and had a plan for my future – change be damned!
I never anticipated how quickly I could feel comfortable and less confident about the resume and skillset that launched my career. Nina was encouraging, direct, and helped me discover what I want out of my career. She pushed and guided me out of my comfort zone in a way that no one has before. Her questions focused on my strengths, as well as what she sensed drives me to success. In only a few sessions, Nina helped me rediscover myself.
Working with Nina has provided me with clarity on my changing values. This work has led me to practical ways to balance my life so it authentically matches my values and brings me real joy. It's been an empowering, enjoyable and very enlightening experience! I couldn't recommend it more.
