Called by her clients "a consummate coach,” Nettie has assisted thousands of bright, talented people to get to what's next in their careers. Sometimes that next is a new role or a new company, but just as often, it's an expanded role or a greater contribution in the organization right where they are.

Author and designer of numerous major corporate Talent Development programs, and co-contributor to the creation and dissemination of CareerPortrait™ and CareerDrivers®online assessments, Nettie has conducted over 1200 day-long seminars on careers, development and leadership at all levels of the workforce. With experience coaching individual contributors and executives on their development trajectories, she has brought career strategies to people at every level of the workforce, from the C-suite to the factory floor, working personally with more than 15,000 executives, managers and individual contributors in every kind of economy, company and corporate culture in the US, Europe and Asia.

Noted for her laser-like ability to cut to the chase in a style that is humorous and engaging, she meets people where they are—appropriate to their stage of career, education and personal life. Nettie consistently produces feedback that she opens great insights that facilitate career transformations and changes lives for the better.
