Show Notes
Most organizations don't fail because of bad strategy. They fall apart because nobody is telling the truth in the room.
It's easy to see a founder and executive coach and assume she's always had this clarity. This conversation pulls back the curtain on the real journey, from VP of HR to executive coach, leadership strategist, and founder of The ElevateHer. Nakisha earned her perspective the hard way, and as she puts it, "the oil cost me." This is a masterclass in regulated leadership, mentorship, faith, and impact.
Who she is: Nakisha is a former VP of HR, an executive coach, a leadership strategist, and the founder of The ElevateHer. She didn't arrive at this wisdom overnight, she paid for it in experience and earned perspective.
What she does: She coaches leaders and builds leadership frameworks that actually scale, while mentoring young girls and helping people lead without ego or noise.
What she believes: That walking heavy matters more than chasing numbers, and that you have to secure your own oxygen mask first. Real leadership means telling the truth in the room and dropping the corporate theater.
How she works: As a regulated leader who reframes chaos instead of reacting to it. Nakisha anchors her leadership in faith, people, rest, and reflection, and models that asking for what you need is a superpower, especially for women.
