As a writer, speaker, facilitator and executive coach, Nancy D. Solomon has built her career around one simple question: “What did you come here to do, and are you getting it done?”

John Wiley & Sons, the esteemed global book publisher, recognized the tremendous value of that question and will publish Nancy’s first book in Fall 2009: Impact! What Every Woman Needs to go From Invisible to Invincible.

Over the last eighteen years, Nancy has inspired thousands to remove the barriers to fulfilling their life’s purpose. Whether focusing on company-wide results or individual success, she starts with one critical point of engagement – people’s connection with themselves.

As her work with both organizations and individuals has repeatedly shown, bottom line results come from taking a holistic approach to people: one that incorporates the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

In her first career incarnation, Nancy was a special education teacher but, disillusioned by the politics of education, she switched to the fashion industry, working for such corporate giants as Saks Fifth Avenue and Calvin Klein. While she was very well-paid, Nancy felt unfulfilled.

As Vice President of Sales for North America for a European corporation, she asked herself, “How much money will it take for me to forget how much I hate my life?” The question inspired her to finally pursue her true passion — helping people to turn their potential into performance.

With a Masters in Psychology and eighteen years coaching experience, Nancy travels the country evangelically spreading the word that “You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.” She has inspired thousands to remove the obstacles to personal and professional success and to engage in their work and in their lives. That may be why she’s been called a cross between Dr. Phil in a skirt and “Conversations with God.”
