PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT with Nicki Sanders, MSW
I am excited to support career development/coaching clients who are growth-minded leaders ready to elevate their careers with intention and boldness. My ideal organizational development clients are committed to social impact, leadership development, and employee engagement – nonprofits, higher education institutions, and corporations. I especially love developing internship and training and development programs. My focus for professional development clients is to provide empowerment, strategies, and resources for human services professionals to elevate their thinking, improve their skills and advance their careers.
Speaker, Trainer, Educator: I’m known to simplify information and offer success strategies for the audience in an authentic and engaging manner.
