Our Founder’s Story
In Nasoan Sheftel-Gomes’ (she/her) two-decade career, as a lawyer, she has had many bosses. But when she was promoted to a leadership position, she didn’t have any role models for the kind of leader she wanted to be.
To navigate leadership as a black woman with intersecting identities, Nasoan had to develop the skills, mindset and confidence to lead from her core values.
In order to embody the type of leadership that reflects one’s values it is crucial to get clear on one’s leadership style and philosophy. Nasoan learned that leading authentically for her meant reimagining problematic organizational systems that aren't inclusive for all workers and developing a leadership style based in equity, exploration of diverse thought and experiences, and building psychological safety and inclusion into all aspects of leading people.
Nasoan can work with you to develop your own leadership brand, understand and name your core leadership values, develop leadership skills for today’s distributed and diverse workforce, help you discover your authentic voice and how to use it to shape and unearth the full potential of your teams and organizations.
TLC provides leadership coaching and organizational development consulting. We support the development of methods and mindsets to shift organizational culture and build equitable organizations, including strategic thought partnership, assessment of existing systems, re-imagining and implementing equitable and inclusive policy. Being a leader at this moment takes dynamic adaptive skills, an ability
to manage uncertainty, and a vision for transformation to a future that doesn’t yet exist. TLC provides individual and group coaching support, a learning community for BIPOC leaders, thought partnership and strategic development for organizations.

What clients are saying:
-
I needed support in making a career decision as a Licensed Master Social Worker and being over 40 made it even more stressful since this decision had a long-term and possibly permanent impact. I had been struggling in identifying with clarity what my next steps should be or what kind of position I desired that was aligned with my personal and professional values while providing financial stability and growth. Nasoan demonstrated patience, and empathy, utilized active listening skills, and challenged me gently to clearly define and envision the job that I wanted and deserved as well as the type of work environment that I needed in order to thrive. Our schedules did not permit for us to have face-to-face sessions and I was reluctant to have sessions through face time, but her relaxed energy, warm face and kind voice made all of those concerns dissipate.....I forgot we were even on a phone. As a result of our work together, I found a position allowing direct engagement with my clients while also being a resource within their community. Nasoan is a wonderful coach that will help you reach your destination, whatever it may be.

Nasoan's coaching has enlightened me and my journey through life and continues to do so as I now have a different form of thinking-a different perspective. She is an engaged listener who uses specific strategies and tactics to help me understand my emotions and thinking on a deeper level. The questions she asks are thought-provoking. She's not just a coach but a great listener who shows empathy and instills strength and self-awareness, promoting self-growth. It has been a true pleasure working with Nasoan

Nasoan is an incredible coach. Her services have been life-changing for me. Her guidance has been instrumental in my growth as a mother, advocate, attorney, and as a woman stepping into her confidence and power. Nasoan helped me work through internal and external roadblocks with compassion, deep wisdom, and deftness and always made me feel comfortable even when we discussed the most challenging and sensitive topics. She also helped me iron out my core values and understand myself, allowing me to make it out of very challenging times even stronger. She is truly gifted in developing rapport with her clients, as I instantly felt like I knew her for years when we started our coaching relationship. I’m lucky to get to continue to work with her, and I recommend her without hesitation for anyone looking for transformative coaching.

I share this testimonial as just a glimpse of how highly I recommend and deeply appreciate Nasoan as a coach. I first came to Nasoan for assistance in navigating work challenges after a late-in-life ADHD diagnosis. However, thanks to Nasoan's approach, our work together evolved beyond that. Through the coaching process, I came to learn more about myself - my challenges and my strengths - and to identify the type of environment I need to be successful. I gained the confidence to lean into these strengths and take the risk of pursuing a new path in my career. Nasoan approaches this work with kindness, curiosity, and empathy, which allows for steps forward, steps backwards, and time to reflect and learn from both. I'm forever grateful for her!
