About me
I am passionate about purpose and living with intention!
- Introduction: I am a Change catalyst, ICF credentialed Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Leadership & Organizational Development professional, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, mother of 3 sons, wife to my hero and best friend. I am passionate about purpose and living with intention, the secret sauce to helping individuals who refuse to die with a dream in their hearts! With over 17 years leading transformations in technology, operations, services, commercial and organizational culture, my superpowers include execution, strategy and co-creating safe spaces that enables courageous conversations, grace and authenticity to thrive.
- Background: I was born in the beautiful island of Jamaica. I was a high school Math & Science teacher for a couple years then later migrated to the US where I studied Engineering, Lean Six Sigma, Coaching, Leadership and Organizational Development. I have been in corporate America for almost 2 decades, relocated my family to 5 different states as I took on roles with increasing responsibility. In my current role as CEO and founder of Nackia Salmon Global Consulting LLC we help leaders and organizations, who are committed to delivering world class business results, co-create a problem solving, resilient, high performance and inclusive culture. Previously, I was a member of a team leading one of the largest transformations in our industry for a Fortune 100 company with over 80,000 employees and an annual revenue of nearly $57 billion. I was responsible for the company's change management philosophy and approach; delivered change management expertise and enablement across our execution teams; executive and team coaching; and collaborated on company-wide culture and advocacy efforts.
- My Approach: This online community was created to provide a support system for individuals, teams and organizations who are on the journey of transformation. We do this through different products and services: one-on-one or team executive and professional coaching; personal and profession workshops and retreats; keynote speaking engagements; and sharing our stories through video blog interviews. We have been sharing our stories since 2018 through “Catchup” (interviews with Jamaicans of the global diaspora) and “Shared Xperiences” (deeper discussions on meaningful topics from people across the globe). The My Story Retreat is held annually with 3 components – we Grow through the workshop, we Give Back through a volunteer project and we absolutely have Fun through excursions. We have reconnected people who have not seen each other in over 2 decades; connected new people through powerful inspiring stories and workshops; started a support system and a forum to discuss and address critical issues that affect us all. We started a movement…#What’sYourStory #OwnYourStory #ShareYourStory.
- My Dream: I want to provide a framework that will allow us to live intentionally and to create a story that will make us proud. In full transparency, for the last decade my attendance to funerals have increased tremendously. Funerals of friends, business associates and family members who passed away and never fully lived. My intention is to help those still alive that don’t want to suffer the same fate. I want to help us decrease the gap between who we are now and who we dream of becoming!
