NANCY JACOBY

I often thought about having my own coaching and consulting business. I never saw myself as an entrepreneur. I always found an excuse: an exciting new project to lead; or a promotion. I kept talking about it, and yet I never seemed to have time (or the guts) to just do it…... At the same time, faculty from the Gestalt International Study Center contacted me about their coaching certification program for the upcoming year. I was accepted into the application-based program the previous year, but could not enroll due to my work responsibilities. After reflection, I decided it was time to make my long-time dream a reality... As they say, the rest is history. When sharing my story, the most common reaction has been, "Wow, you've really taken lemons and made lemonade!" True story.
