She sees this work as a highly personal action learning process, and learning agility as one of the most important hallmarks of a great leader. According to her clients, Nancy’s strengths lie in her “ability to banish complexity by clearly and fearlessly penetrating to the heart of the matter” and her “blend of caring and courage,” which pushes her clients to define their next chapter as a leader.
Leadership is…
like a puzzle. You need to figure out what is called for from your personal leadership tool kit and pull it out at the right time, in the right way.
One important skill I bring to my clients is…
understanding their challenges and the pressures. I’ve been there.
One place that is special to me is…
the ranch in Montana where we went for 13 summers. It was like going to camp with your kids and your best friends.
