Testimonials


I’ve had the chance to work with Nancy in both large group training sessions, as well as facilitation of smaller coaching groups.  Nancy is highly professional and genuinely cares about her clients.  She fosters an open, safe environment for sharing, thereby helping her clients define and reach their goals.  Working with Nancy has really helped me better understand what motivates me and how should I evaluate future opportunities.  I highly recommend Nancy to anyone who needs a little help finding their way!

Nancy provided a rigor and structure to a situation that most people approach in a very emotional manner, and gave me invaluable guidance and insights during my career and personal transitions.

Working with Nancy provides me with a great structure for identifying and working towards my goals as a leader inside my current organization and within the larger context of my career.  Nancy’s coaching techniques help me to very quickly understand where and why I get stuck – after which she walks me through concrete, straightforward tolls for changing my approach, attitude and creating actions to get un-stuck!.  She brings a good breadth of experience, an excellent sense of humor and a genuine commitment to her clients – since working with Nancy I’ve felt like there’s nothing I can’t handle as a new member of my company’s executive team.  She’s great!

-          Stacia C., Director of Technology, San Francisco, CA


Having Nancy come in and coach my team has been an invaluable tool for better communication and teamwork within my organization. She has helped me work with each of my team members to help understand their strengths and weakness and how they can partner with their peers better. This has created a very visible improvement in my organization and allowed us to focus better on the core issues of the business. If anyone wants to take their team to the next level I definitely recommend working with Mrs. Hedley.

-          Daniel Riedel., COO, San Francisco, CA


I’ve had the great pleasure of working with a certified life coach Nancy Hedley, who has helped me tremendously. Just before meeting Nancy, I felt like I had been hanging out in a neutral zone in my career, and I just couldn’t get up the gumption to make a change. I was in a fog about how to move forward, and I lacked clarity on what I actually wanted! Nancy has given me powerful tools and invaluable support in helping me gain momentum, clarity, and to start transitioning to the next chapter. Her insights and wisdom have helped me make positive changes in all aspects of my life, to set clear goals that are in alignment with what I value, and to help me stay focused on what I most care about doing and being in the world.

I just wanted to thank you again for meeting with me today, listening to what I had to say and giving great guidance.  I truly appreciate having met you and getting to know myself better through your coaching.  I look forward to continuing the journey and will definitely keep you posted on my progress.

-          Jeanette O., Treasury Consultant, San Jose, CA


Nancy has the rare ability to listen and empathizes with my ideals and worries and focus them into actualized plans of action.  She warmly helped pull out my innate strengths that I had minimized—for years.   I had procrastinated harnessing my own talents until it became an absolute necessity.  I had identified ways to cure a rare childhood illness that one of my children had developed.  However, not being a physician, I felt unable to move the medical community.  Nancy warmly listened to me and gave me concrete steps to create my own path of success.  Step-by-step, she helped me focus my research and writing skills to gain the respect and trust from the medical community.     The results have been far beyond my expectations…..During one year’s time,  I founded a national parent network, have been invited to share my insights with researchers at the National Institute of Health in Washington D.C., Yale, Stanford and Georgetown Universities, to name a few.    The work I have done has been picked up by various media enterprises – the Today Show, DateLine, the New York Times and national health conferences.   The skills I learned from Nancy’s coaching insights continue to encourage and guide me as my organization grows exponentially. Seriously indebted for your kindness Nancy!!

Book Study Anonymous Feedback (studying Mastering Life’s Energies by Maria Nemeth)

  • The book is brilliant and transformative.  Nancy is a patient, gifted, fun facilitator.  Being able to connect with other women on a spiritual, personal-growth level was a dream come true.
  • What an amazing and fulfilling book study experience….your comprehension of this deep material is evident and even better, you excel at explaining it all.
  • Nancy was extremely professional, fun, and very caring.  She was the perfect fit for our organization.  Nancy was able to gauge the mood of the team, and adjust accordingly to ensure we were able to benefit from the content in a meaningful way.  Nancy didn’t just read the material.  She can relate, she believes in the value it can bring, she was very supportive of the author, and she was able to get it to connect with each of us.  Nancy responded well to questions that didn’t require text book answers, and she facilitated the group well.  I am so glad I got a chance to go through this course with the team and Nancy.
  • I’ve learned a lot that I can apply to everyday life.
  • It’s easy just to read a book and put it on a shelf, but actually walking through it chapter by chapter with a coach and other women helps immeasurably!
