Nancy OKeefe has been a business leader since 2000 when she founded a multi seven-figure outsourcing firm that used technology to become one of the first virtual offices in existence. After creating a collaborative culture of 50 home-based employees in 4 states serving corporate customers, it’s no surprise that Nancy makes quick work of getting to the heart of business problems and generating creative solutions that work for her clients. She is an engaging speaker and workshop leader who can inspire even the most timid of change to see the potential for their career and their business. Budding entrepreneurs, seasoned business owners, and working women alike benefit from her talks and programs.
Nancy is a Workplace Strategist, Leadership Coach, Author, and CEO of Nancy OKeefe Consulting. Nancy founded Women’s Leadership U to help working women step into their value, find more opportunities to serve as leaders and earn what they are worth. Nancy says “Studies show that women don’t feel seen and heard in the world. They don’t feel like there are opportunities for them to reach their aspirations. You have to create your own opportunities and to do that you need a certain mindset, a certain set of skills and some good old fashioned confidence in your abilities. Women’s Leadership U is designed to open you up to a new mindset, a new paradigm and a teach you a new set of skills. It is a community that gives participants a safe forum to practice and hone those skills in a supportive environment. My goal for the community is to give more women the courage, the confidence and the conviction to lead us in finding solutions to the problems we face every day in all areas of our lives and communities.”
Nancy was in the first wave of women to go to work seeking a career after double-digit inflation in the ’70s made it increasingly difficult to make it on one income. She rose to the Vice President level in companies as an employee and was the CEO of her own 50 employee business. She holds an MBA with a concentration in Entrepreneurship from Babson College and an MS in Quality Systems Management from Anna Maria College. She is a certified Career Transition Coach and a certified Executive Coach. Nancy is the author of Values Based Choices: How Small Business Owners Will Salvage the American Dream, and most recently, Unlimited Talent, What Every CEO Needs To Know To Win The Workforce War both available on Amazon.
