NANCY JOHN, FOUNDER & CEO

For over 20 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of leadership, learning, and performance — helping capable professionals navigate the moments where expertise alone stops being enough.

Most of the leaders I work with are doing good work.
They’re trusted, reliable, and respected.

And yet, at a certain point, progress slows.

Ideas don’t land the same way.
Alignment takes longer.
Influencing up and across becomes harder than influencing down.

Not because something is wrong — but because the rules have changed.

That’s the space I work in.

I partner with senior professionals and Directors who are stepping into greater scope and want to strengthen how they influence — not by becoming louder or more political, but by implementing the systems that senior leaders actually respond to.

My background spans Corporate Learning and Development, Sales Enablement, and Performance Coaching. I’ve worked with leaders across industries and levels — often without formal authority — which has shaped how I think about influence as a system, not a personality trait.

When leaders become clear on how they build trust, communicate at exec levels, and move work forward through tension, their confidence changes — and opportunities follow.

If you know you’re ready for what’s next, and want clarity on what needs to shift, you’re in the right place.
