About Me
I’m a midlife career pivot coach for accomplished professionals who know they’re ready for something different, but aren’t quite sure what that “different” is yet.
I’ve spent 19 years navigating the intersection of people, leadership, operations, and business, including executive and C-suite roles in high-growth, technology, cybersecurity, professional services, and government contracting. I’ve sat in the room where big decisions get made, and I’ve also experienced what it means to question what comes next.
My coaching is about more than finding another job. It’s about getting clear on what you want this next chapter to look like, understanding what you bring to the table, and building a path that actually fits the person you are now.
Sometimes the answer is a new career. Sometimes it’s a leadership role, entrepreneurship, consulting, or a portfolio career. And sometimes the biggest breakthrough is realizing you don’t have to keep doing what made sense ten years ago.
I’m an ICF Associate Certified Coach with a background in executive leadership, HR, operations, and organizational strategy. I bring a practical, business-minded perspective to coaching, along with the space to slow down, think honestly, and make decisions that are right for you.
You don’t need to have the whole plan figured out before we start. That’s what we’ll work on together.

I finally made the step to give my business the attention it needed. As I have worked with Nakisha, I found myself with a rejuvenated drive to tackle the necessary tasks I was putting off, along with the opportunities I was unaware of. She passionately holds me accountable, inspires me, and brings in a new perspective to my business handling. Nakisha logically walks through my mental blocks and helps me break through the false beliefs that are holding me back. Shes the best

I found a position making 20k more than what I was and it was entry level in another field! I wouldn't have applied to this role without the coaching Nikki provided on confidence and courage. I highly recommend her.

I was stuck and unsure of which direction to go in. Nikki helped me to see the right path. I am very happy in my new career and I am thankful for her coaching.
Tanya, Higher Education Executive, Arlington, VA
Nikki opened my eyes to the answer I always knew but was too blind to see. Being Nikki's client has been a life changer. You will love Nikki and Myers Briggs Type Indicator as much as I do!

What I wanted was a career coach with a solid HR background and that's exactly what I got. Nikki keep doing what you're doing - you are awesome.
Mashonda, VP Branch Manager, Islip New York
I was skeptical about coaching but Nikki's matter of fact style during the initial fifteen-minute consultation removed all my hesitations. Nikki explained her process and what success would look like in her coaching practice logically and clearly. I have been working with Nikki for three months now and recently received a GREAT promotion at work due to her coaching.
Bradley, Director of Operations, Washington D.C.
Nikki is absolutely a gem! She is a true career professional and really listens to you and what your goal is. I always felt like my opinion mattered as she facilitated my personal journey to the perfect career. Best investment I've ever spent.
