In the years following the initial publication of Work with Passion, Nancy continued to refine the intuitive yet imminently practical process that helps her clients discover the work that matches their strengths, values, and temperament. Her clientele includes people of all ages and from all walks of life: executives, business owners, coaches, therapists, teachers, physicians, attorneys, ministers, and technical and sales professionals. All of these people have the same objective: to do the work that gives meaning to their lives and to the lives of those they serve.
Clients appreciate Nancy’s wisdom, honesty, and sense of humor. In turn, she appreciates their openness and courage. There is nothing more rewarding to Nancy than when something she does or says helps one of her clients to overcome fear and self-doubt. These are the moments that make her day, her week, and sometimes even her whole year.
