Learn to see things in new ways.
Our thoughts are the “hidden rules” that command our decisions and actions. How often have you reached a goal only to slip back into comfortable habits? Change happens yet rarely lasts until you shift your thinking.
Human nature is to resist change. To move out of your patterns and beyond your habitual thinking you need to challenge the beliefs and assumptions that underlie your decisions and actions .You then are open to making different choices which leads to new habits, transforms outcomes and accelerates your success.

What makes Nancy Riesz, ACC, different than most coaches?
Certification is the distinction of a professional coach. Many individuals call themselves coaches. Yet, less than 20% of coaches are certified. Coaching is not something a person can just start doing, whether in sports, arts or the work place. It is a specific practice to learn and a skill to be developed. Just as an individual is not able to start coaching someone to excel in a sport without understanding the skills, terminology and rules of the game, a person cannot be a professional coach without learning what coaching really is, how to do it and the language that frames the process.
Nancy has a Master’s level certificate in Leadership Coaching from Georgetown University in Washington DC. She is certified by the International Coach Federation, the leading independent credentialing organization that ensures a coach has a certain level of training, skill and experience. Nancy is one of very few coaches who is proficient in transformational (shifting your frame of reference), transactional (skill building),) and team coaching.
Working with Nancy is wholistic, focused, energizing, transforming and fun! She is caring, enthusiastic, supportive, persistent and results-oriented. Nancy believes coaching is a privilege, honor and one of the most powerful and respectful ways she can collaborate in the growth and development of an individual or team.
Nancy is an expert in:
- interpersonal effectiveness
- leadership excellence
- building better bosses
- teaching people to work together…better
- life integration
- attitude adjustments
- creating significant and sustainable outcomes
Transformational coaching is about changing the way you see the world by helping you gain access to your thinking, feelings, beliefs and motivations. A transformational coach believes you have the best answers within yourself and the coach’s role is to help you uncover and act on these answers.
Transformational coaching is extremely powerful because it enables you to make significant and sustainable change in your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is where your beliefs are stored. Your beliefs are the programming you have received from birth to the present. Beliefs determine what is and more importantly, what is NOT possible in your life. If your beliefs allow a situation to occur, it will. If your beliefs do not allow something to happen, it will not! Your subconscious mind is what pulls you back to the old habits you have so often consciously tried to move beyond.
Transformational coaching helps to discover the beliefs that become the habitual ruts that run/rule your life. They are the self-imposed prisons that keep you from doing what you say you want to do. To move out of your habits and rooted patterns of thinking and obtain the significant results you want, you first need to shift your thinking, to see things in new ways. With new perspectives you can challenge your beliefs and be open to different ways of thinking and acting. This leads to transformed and sustainable outcomes.
Similar to being a sports coach, transactional coaching is about teaching you new skills. Or, helping you build on and improve skills you already have. It can also be growth-oriented, accelerating the learning curve for high-potential or recently promoted executives. The coach is the expert in transactional coaching. Nancy has provided transactional coaching in the following areas:
- Leadership Inter-personal skills
- Team building Communication
- Management mentoring Manager to leader
- Strategic thinking Visioning
- Innovation/creativity Problem solving
- Self-awareness Stress management
- Life integration Time effectiveness
- Change/Transition Energy management
- Polishing “rough edges” Conflict resolution
This dynamic coaching process provides real-time interaction and intervention with executive and technical teams. It is used to more quickly attain effectiveness as new member(s) are added to the team and with teams who are having difficulty accomplishing specific results. The coaching focuses on human dynamics (thinking, feelings and behaviors), helping team members understand their differences in communication styles and decision making approaches and appreciating the strengths of each team member. It also leads to uncovering the non-productive habits, practices and processes that are getting in the way of the team’s ability to produce expected outcomes. The goal is generating an improvement in team and individual performance and results. Team coaching uses a variety of tools that will help the team reach its goals. These tools are used “real-time” within a team meeting as the members experience difficulties or break downs.
