“I feel like my entire personality changed- I had low self-esteem and thought being an introvert was my identity and so I had a lot of anxiety reaching out to people. I was also super afraid of losing motivation after the program. Now, I have a networking and career strategy that I am implementing by myself through a bean system! I also do improv.”

“Meeting Nancy was one of the best things that happened to me. She is the kind of person that every ambitious career-driven woman would want to have by her side.
Not only was she extremely supportive in helping me getting the promotion I deserve at work, but she was also there for me when I decided to apply for my MBA. During our session, Nancy amazed me with the amount of research she had done on my target schools and her insights in the entire application process. After just one single session with her, I was able to structure my thoughts and elevate my application essays to a whole different level. Thanks to Nancy's help, I soon received interview invitations from four out of the five b-schools I applied to, including Stanford GSB and UC Berkeley Haas.
Furthermore, having worked alongside her on building the community of Shanghai Women's Business Club, I am constantly motivated by her drive in supporting fellow professional women. Nancy is the type of leader that has a clear vision, direct communication style, and most importantly high level of respect for people she works with.
As a former client, current teammate, and forever friend, I recommend Nancy with all my heart.”

“Nancy is communicative, balanced, articulate, affirming, and patient—she is leadership personified. I met Nancy in Shanghai as she was developing her network of powerhouse women moving and shaking the city. I was a bit lost at the time as to how to begin the transition back to the US and make a complete industry change. It took time and a lot of hard work, but Nancy was the positive force that pushed me toward my current industry. Nancy's sessions forced me to sit down and really evaluate what I wanted and create the detailed steps and timeline I would need to get there. She doesn't take "no" for an answer, and she genuinely believes in all of the clients she takes on.”
