Dr. Kerstin Carr

As an experienced C-Suite executive, she has led large teams of professionals, supported organizational restructuring, guided company-wide strategy and visioning, and initiated and directed large-scale regional projects involving multiple partners and stakeholders.

She is a certified professional coach and visionary leader who specializes in strategic and organizational consulting, leadership coaching, and facilitating workshops and multi-day retreats that help groups build clarity, alignment, and momentum.

“It’s been a true privilege to work with Kerstin over the past year. I came to her in hopes for guidance as I began a mid-career transition. Unsure what to expect, I did not realize how transformational the process would be. Thinking the focus would be mainly career development, Kerstin helped me see how much bigger it could be for my development as a person. Designed around conversational sessions, she provided a true non-judgmental environment that helped me reframe my perspective of who I am, and what my “why” is; including personality tests, motivational and career resources, resume help, and tools for my personal wellbeing. She is also truly patient, gently guiding, rather than steering the work. I cannot endorse working with her enough!“

Dr. Nichole Oocumma

Nichole has spent the last 30 years helping organizations, communities, and leaders strengthen strategy, build alignment, and achieve meaningful results.

Throughout her career as a C-Suite executive, she has facilitated strategic planning and community engagement processes, brought together diverse stakeholders, and helped organizations translate complex needs and priorities into clear, actionable plans.

She specializes in strategic planning, stakeholder and community engagement, and facilitation, with a particular focus on creating inclusive processes that elevate diverse perspectives and support sustainable action.

“I have had a nontraditional path out of poverty into my leadership role and often found it difficult to relate to my colleagues as a woman and person of color. Previous executive coaching experiences felt performative because I felt they did not understand the important dynamics of who I was as a person and the impact on me as a healthcare executive. Therefore, I was surprised when Nichole provided an open and transparent environment from the beginning. Although she did not dig into my personal journey, she was able to question and challenge my thinking in a way that seemed knowing and thoughtful. I am a better leader because of my time with Nichole.”
