As Seen on

Leadership isn’t about working harder.

The facade of a tall office building with a grid of uniform green-tinted windows framed by light-colored concrete.

It’s about being seen clearly.

Most high-achieving leaders don’t stall because they lack skill or ambition. They stall because of subtle patterns they can’t see — habits, reactions, and energy leaks that quietly shape how others experience them.

Pave Your Way was built on a simple truth— you can’t adjust what you don’t understand. We guide you to shift your unconscious patterns, reclaim your presence, and become the kind of leader others want to follow.

Working with Pave Your Way

Pave Your Way works with leaders through executive coaching, group experiences, and leadership training for organizations. Each offering is designed to help leaders apply self-awareness in real time, in conversations, decisions, and moments of influence, so insight turns into action.

Executive Coaching

Executive Coaching

One-on-one coaching is for leaders who want focused, direct insight into how they are showing up and what to shift to increase clarity, trust, and influence. This work is personal, precise, and grounded in real situations you are navigating right now. Engagements are confidential, focused, and built around your specific goals. This is executive coaching built around leadership effectiveness, not a generic framework.

Group Coaching

Group Coaching

Group coaching brings high-performing leaders together to deepen self-awareness through shared reflection and feedback. See yourself through multiple lenses, challenge familiar patterns, and practice showing up with intention in a structured, facilitated environment. Powerful work made richer by the room.

Leadership Training

Leadership Training Workshops

Training programs are tailored to the specific needs of each organization and leadership team. Leaders build shared awareness around presence, communication, and perception, improving trust, collaboration, and performance where it matters most. Every program is designed to create lasting behavioral change, not just one-day insight.

  • Nina sits at the top of our list.

    "Both my husband and I are coaches with a very high bar for client referrals. Nina sits with very few others at the top of our list of insightful, impactful, change-focused coaches. Without exception, each leader who worked with Nina experienced shifts they attribute directly to their work with her."

    - BEKKI SMITH / VP OF HR / WESTMINISTER, CO

  • A fresh perspective that opened the world of opportunities.

    "My actions and behaviors that had brought accomplishments were all of a sudden becoming a roadblock. Nina dug in deep to understand who I was at a very deep level and helped me develop a perspective that changed everything. Because of Nina, I am a better professional and a better person."

    — SOUMIL DESHMUKH / VP OF TECHNOLOGY / MINNEAPOLIS, MN

  • I keep hearing Nina's voice in my head.

    "I found myself fully engaged in each session — often dealing with topics that are not easy to confront — and relying on the coaching tools she introduced between sessions. Nina took it to a whole other level. On top of all of that, she's fun and funny."

    — STEPHANIE KOHN / VP OF MARKETING / BOSTON, MA

  • Life changing.

    "The impact from their programs has transformed how I lead and the culture of our company. It has also changed my personal life in ways I did not expect. Nina and Bobby have YOUR best interest in mind in all they do."

    — CODY GRAHAM / CEO / PHOENIX, AZ

  • She got me from day one.

    "I interviewed with a few other coaches before meeting Nina, and I am so glad I chose her. She built her approach around my specific needs, not the other way around. One cannot put a price on the knowledge she imparted."

    — SANJEEV SAHA / ENGINEERING DIRECTOR / BROOMFIELD, CO

  • Much more than just career coaching.

    "Nina's intuitive guidance and thoughtful frameworks opened up new ways of realizing my potential as a leader. It felt like I had a kind, energetic ally at my side — encouraging me to take the next step on my career path."

    — REBECCA COLE / VP COMMUNICATIONS / BOULDER, CO

  • A life-altering shift in how I approach everything.

    "With Nina's guidance and deep knowledge, I gained perspective that made a life-altering shift in how I approach things — both at work and in my personal life. I'm forever grateful to Nina."

    — Cathleen Meyer / Vice President / Seattle, WA

  • She walked me from a cloudy self-perception to a much clearer picture.

    "Working with Nina unlocked a lifetime of not recognizing my full potential. She molded her professional experience to my specific personality and issues. Now I have a much better understanding of how to recognize and step through the minefields of self-doubt."

    — Brad Smith / Vice President / Omaha, NE

  • Nothing short of life changing.

    "Nina helped me unearth a lot of stuff that was not serving me. Where I was once lacking energy, I now feel I'm building on vast amounts of it with a new approach to daily life. I keep drawing back on our sessions, retrieving simple mental cues that help me through situations that once would have had me stagnating."

    — Jeff Carson / Author / Castle Rock, CO

  • The promotion I received more than paid for the sessions.

    "Nina helped me dig deep and be honest with myself — where I was holding myself back and how to re-ignite my passion. She gave me the tools to ask for what I want, so that both the company and I are happy. But the true benefits come from being so much happier at work."

    — Autumn Wesson / Corporate Executive / Broomfield, CO

  • How we show up at work and at home is one and the same.

    "Nina partnered with me to transition into a new career by helping me recognize my own internally set roadblocks. She does a great job of getting clients to hold a mirror up to their behavior and hold them accountable for how they react. She helped me develop long-term solutions, not just address an immediate need."

    — Ally Dodge / Marketing Executive / Denver, CO
