Personal and business Coach
Leading with passion
In today’s fast-paced and often virtual workplace, women leaders are navigating complex interpersonal and self-management challenges while charting the course for their teams. The flexibility of hybrid and digital work brings opportunity—but it can also test connection, resilience, and presence. Many women in leadership roles balance the responsibility of guiding others with the intentional care it takes to stay grounded and attentive to both them and their teams.
One common challenge I see leaders face is feeling overwhelmed by constant demands and conflicting priorities, leaving little room to think strategically. By implementing simple, structured practices for clarity and team alignment, leaders can regain focus, make decisions with confidence, and create a culture where their team thrives without added stress.
My work focuses on partnering with women who lead teams—helping them create high-trust, supportive environments where people thrive together. Building strong professional relationships is central to this work: when leaders cultivate genuine trust and mutual respect with their colleagues, collaboration flows more smoothly, initiatives gain momentum faster, and goals become more achievable.
Equally important is supporting each team member in discovering and embracing their own identity and unique strengths. When individuals understand the value they bring—their skills, preferences, and ways of contributing—they can step into their roles with confidence and clarity. I partner with team members to identify any gaps and set goals for growth in this area. This self-awareness not only boosts personal performance but also strengthens the team, as everyone learns how to complement one another, take initiative, and contribute meaningfully to shared objectives.
Whether you lead in business, ministry, or community, I help you strengthen clarity, confidence, and adaptability so your leadership positively impacts your team in lasting ways. I offer in-person workshops and team-building activities, as well as one-on-one staff coaching, to help teams and individuals grow in skills, collaboration, and self-awareness. Through these experiences, we build cultures rooted in purpose, empathy, and alignment while addressing common challenges like:
- Navigating conflict with confidence and grace
- Preventing burnout and sustaining energy
- Bridging generational and communication gaps
- Building trust and safety across hybrid teams
- Translating personal values into team culture
Our work is both reflective and practical—combining self-awareness with tools that empower you to lead from strength rather than strain. Each session or workshop offers space to pause, gain perspective, and apply strategies that help your team collaborate more effectively, strengthen relationships, and move toward shared goals.
When leaders and team members grow in self-awareness and relational understanding, the team grows in unity, collaboration, and purpose. Strong professional relationships, paired with each individual’s clarity about their own strengths, amplify influence and effectiveness—making it easier to align team efforts with organizational objectives and achieve both short- and long-term goals. Together, we define measurable outcomes that keep leadership and team contributions aligned with both personal and organizational vision.
Leading a team today requires courage, compassion, and clarity. It’s not about doing more—it’s about leading with intention, cultivating strength in others, and empowering individuals to bring their best selves to the team. That’s the heart of my coaching practice: equipping women to lead with both confidence and care through workshops, team-building activities, and one-on-one coaching.
If you’re ready to elevate your leadership, strengthen your team, and help each member grow in identity, confidence, and contribution, I’d be honored to walk with you on that journey. Together, we’ll chart a course toward a more resilient, connected, and purpose-driven team.

Harnessing Emotions for energy and goals
Emotions are no longer a taboo topic in the workplace; instead, they are a vital source of energy and insight that can propel teams forward. When organizations create spaces where staff feel safe to understand and express their emotions, they foster greater emotional literacy—an essential ingredient for stronger communication, collaboration, and resilience.
Using emotional intelligence (EQ) tools equips individuals to manage stress, navigate conflicts effectively, and maintain focus under pressure. This emotional awareness boosts personal well-being and sharpens decision-making, cultivating a more inclusive and supportive work environment.
For companies, ministries, and leaders, coaching is a powerful resource to develop these skills. Through coaching, individuals gain clarity, build self-awareness, and learn practical ways to apply EQ daily. This process not only enhances team dynamics but also accelerates progress toward strategic goals, aligning everyone around a shared vision.
By harnessing emotions thoughtfully, organizations unlock untapped energy and potential—creating healthier workplaces, stronger leadership, and a clear path to success.

lEADING With Passion
When I search for the qualities most desired in a leader, the following attributes consistently emerge:
What do leaders do?
- Set goals: Leaders establish clear goals for their team to work towards.
- Make decisions: Leaders make sound decisions that guide their team toward success.
- Provide direction: Leaders motivate, encourage, and inspire their team to take meaningful action.
- Build relationships: Leaders foster collaboration and open communication by building strong relationships with their team.
- Support team members: Leaders provide guidance and support, being attentive to the needs of their team.
What are some qualities of good leaders?
- Self-aware: Good leaders prioritize self-awareness and personal development.
- Ethical: Good leaders maintain a strong sense of ethics and social responsibility.
- Integrity: Good leaders uphold strong moral principles and consistently do the right thing.
- Humble: Good leaders empower others by remaining humble.
- Authentic: Good leaders are true to themselves, presenting a consistent and genuine presence.
Balancing these attributes can be a challenge. What sets some leaders apart, however, is the passion they bring to their leadership. But is that passion easily accessible for their team, or is it buried beneath the weight of responsibilities and day-to-day demands?
I offer coaching packages specifically designed for leaders and their teams to regain focus and restore balance, allowing passion to shine through once again in the workplace.
Leadership Coaching Packages:
- Leadership Time-Out: A time for leaders to reset and regain focus with ongoing support and accountability.
- Find Your Focus/Team Building: Coaching for groups of ten or more to align and inspire action.
- Work Relationship Coaching for Morale: Coaching designed to boost team morale and strengthen interpersonal relationships.
- EQ (Emotional Intelligence) Assessments: Tailored assessments for staff to create a healthier, more collaborative work environment.
Let’s work together to reignite the passion in your leadership and create a thriving, engaged workplace
Are you an entreprenuer?
I offer business coaching for individuals who are ready to develop a strategic business plan and take actionable steps toward building their company.
Our coaching process begins by exploring your goals and dreams for the new business. From there, we conduct a SWOT analysis, helping you assess your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, which is critical for gaining clarity and direction.
The coaching process is structured over the course of a month, with weekly sessions to establish momentum. After that, we transition t monthly coaching sessions with regular check-ins to ensure continued progress.
As we work through the business development process, we may also focus on personal development, building the confidence and mindset necessary to take decisive action and achieve your goals. You will remain in control of setting your goals, and I will help keep the process on track, ensuring steady forward movement.
My Philosophy
Together We Will explore
Exploration, as defined by the dictionary, is the act of journeying into unfamiliar territory to acquaint oneself with it. In coaching, we cultivate the ability to become comfortable in unfamiliar waters—because that’s often where the most meaningful breakthroughs occur.
During our coaching sessions, we set out on purposeful journeys of exploration, diving into the ideas, challenges, and aspirations you wish to navigate. Together, we build solid pathways toward real, lasting progress—whether it’s confronting limiting beliefs or developing new capabilities.
My approach goes beyond just external achievements; we take time to explore your inner landscape—uncovering what matters most to you: your values, strengths, and worldview. You determine the pace and set the destination, while I offer steady guidance along the way, ensuring you’re charting a course that stays true to what you care about most.
At its core, exploration is the foundation of our coaching journey—a space where curiosity fuels momentum, and meaningful transformation can unfold

Testimonials
“I was recently invited to attend a workshop through my Ladies Group lead by Nilsa Hagan and Lori Freemire. The central theme was “Purpose” and I found the session both thought provoking and encouraging.
It caused me to examine what I felt like was my God-given purpose in life and also to revisit my dreams and goals.
I’ve always been a dreamer and I have seen so many of them become reality when I pursued them.
The session helped with discovering and chasing down purpose.
I really enjoyed it, Nilsa and Lori were just wonderful!” Sherri Estes with Creative Capital

“Nilsa creates a safe place for me to share what I’m feeling and my emotions. I felt a weight lift off of me after one of our conversations, in particular. It’s wonderful to have such a Godly woman to talk to, to help me work through, and bring to the surface those things that I’ve been holding on to, and that have been holding me back. I’m so grateful that she is my coach.”
Dawn
“Connecting with Nilsa is a joy. Her upbeat, encouraging attitude will help you reach the goals you have for your future and overcome whatever obstacles stand in your way. “
Wanda Patrick
Nilsa is an amazing life coach, and working with her the past few months has had a very positive impact in my life. I’ve struggled for many years with depression, anxiety, and social connections. The past year was especially difficult, after moving again for work, and then dealing with a lot of uncertainties. I reached out to Nilsa, and I’m so thankful I did. She listened to how I was feeling, asked me what I wanted to accomplish, and then helped me identify my strengths, along with actions I could take to reach my goals. Since then, I’ve become more proactive in taking care of my mind, body, and spirit, and I’ve developed a number of new friendships with my coworkers and peers. This has reduced the depression and anxiety a lot, and has given me much more confidence. Nilsa has helped to keep me accountable, and she’s been super encouraging and empowering. If you’re looking for a life coach, I highly recommend reaching out to her.
