You’re now closer to gain greater clarity, resilience, leadership presence, and impact in work and life than ever before...

Transform disruption into opportunity and emerge with greater clarity, resilience, and leadership presence in work and life.

My personal passions include scuba diving, open river swims, and hiking

I'm Nina Garfield.

Thirty-five years into a career I loved where I got to travel to, and SCUBA dive in, beautiful places, everything changed overnight, and it was the hardest and most transformative thing that ever happened to me. Today I coach public and nonprofit sector professionals navigating layoffs, organizational upheaval, career uncertainty, and retirement decisions, so they can reconnect with purpose, regain confidence, and truly thrive through change. In addition to being an executive coach trained in Immunity to Change Mapping and Adult Developmental Coaching, I offer focused sessions to help clients show up powerfully for interviews and what comes next.

I have coached dozens of professionals to navigate career disruption, regain clarity and purpose, and become more confident and influential leaders.

I am an International Coaching Federation ACC certified coach with hundreds of hours of career, executive, and life coaching experience bringing multiple modalities to my coaching to meet you where you are at.

After facing my own unexpected career upheaval at NOAA, I personally navigated the exact transition I now coach - rebuilding identity, confidence, and purpose from the ground up so I know from the inside what my clients are living through.
