Harnessing Your POtential
The imagery of a sailboat gliding across the ocean, its sails full and the boat heeling over, is one of the most beautiful and inspiring sights you can imagine. As a sailor, I may be a bit biased, but I’ve experienced the exhilaration of the boat leaning into the wind and the water rushing over the edge! This often happens at just 10 knots of wind, and to me, there’s truly nothing like it. There’s a special kind of magic when the sails shift to the other side of the boat, tacking toward a carefully chosen destination.
One thing is certain on a sailboat: when the sails are set correctly and the wind is harnessed, the boat reaches its full potential, steadily moving toward its goal. In many ways, we as individuals are the same. When we align with our true potential and fine-tune our strengths, we can accomplish extraordinary things.
As I reflect on this, I see many metaphors for life and business. Whether you’re venturing into your business for the first time, diving into sales, or leading others and setting the course for what’s next, every decision you make is crucial. Both the small choices and the big ones will guide you through times when the wind seems light, and the journey feels slow.
What area of your life, business, or leadership could benefit from a little “trimming of the sails”? What adjustments could you make to maximize your impact and move toward your destination more effectively? Sometimes all that’s needed is a little fine-tuning of the sails, and other times, it’s a course change. Whatever the adjustment, making these changes can make all the difference in reaching your final destination.
Find Your Focus!
Coaching is a proven tool for leaders who seek breakthroughs within their teams, as well as for creating an environment where employees can thrive and grow.
It is also a powerful resource for individuals seeking a safe, supportive space to explore their vision, prepare for challenges, or navigate transitions. Coaching helps transform you into the person you aspire to be, guiding you through obstacles and empowering you to achieve your goals.
Entrepreneurship Coaching
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 to 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.
lEADING With Passion
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.

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 art of becoming comfortable in unfamiliar spaces, as this skill often leads to breakthroughs in areas where movement is needed most.
During our coaching sessions, we embark on journeys of exploration, delving into ideas and aspirations you wish to navigate. Together, we construct sturdy pathways towards tangible progress, whether it’s challenging limiting mindsets or honing new skills.
My approach goes beyond just external goals; we take the time to explore your internal landscape—uncovering what is most important to you, your values, strengths, and worldview. You set the pace and define the goals, while I offer guidance and support every step of the way, ensuring that you are aligned with what you set out to do throughout the process
In essence, exploration is the cornerstone of our coaching journey—a journey where curiosity meets action, and transformation becomes possible.

“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.
