Nikki Babs - Harvard Trained Executive Leadership Coach.

Nikki Babs

Harvard Trained Executive Leadership Coach.

Stop Being Overlooked. Start Leading. I help underestimated professionals, RISE into Executive Leadership and SUCCEED wherever they are. Ever feel like you're playing a game where everyone else knows the rules? After 13+ years in HR, advising executives, coaching managers across Fortune 500 companies, and climbing the career ladder myself. I learned the hard way that talent alone isn’t enough. I've watched brilliant professionals, especially women, immigrants, and neurodivergents (e.g. Professionals with ADHD), get overlooked for leadership roles. Not because they lack ability, but because no one taught them how to position themselves strategically. My Coaching is Perfect if you are: 1. Feeling Stuck or Lost Whether you're recently laid off, in a role that drains your soul, or just don't know what you want next. 2. The Passed-Over High Performer You deliver exceptional results, but keep getting passed over for promotions, and you are ready to be seen as leadership material. 3. The Executive-Track Professional You're climbing toward the C-suite but need to build authentic executive presence and learn to navigate office politics. 4. Tired of Playing Small As a woman, person of color, immigrant, or neurodivergent professional, you're exhausted from code-switching just to fit in. You are ready to rise in your career. 5. Ready for Something More Maybe it's starting your business, making a career change, or just feeling more confident at work. You need a clear roadmap and confidence to execute. You're not lacking skills, you're lacking the right type of visibility. RESULTS: 87% of my clients achieve significant career advancement within 12 months • Average salary increase: $18K-$32K KICK START YOUR PATH TO EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP Ready to figure out what's possible?

""I was laid off and stuck in analysis paralysis. Every role looked wrong, but I didn't know what right even felt like anymore. Nikki helped me get out of my own head, and figure out where I actually want to go. I walked away with not just clarity on my next role but also a 3-5 year career plan, and my confidence back. It's the first time I've felt clear in months.""

"Honestly, I was fed up. I'd been passed over again, and I started thinking maybe it was me. But working with Nikki helped me realize I wasn't the problem, my story just wasn't being told in the right way nor in the right rooms. We rewrote my resume, she helped me talk about myself without cringing, and within a month I finally got the role. I didn't change, I just stopped shrinking."

"As a first-gen Nigerian woman in tech, I felt like I was constantly code-switching and carrying everyone's expectations. I was exhausted. Assimilating into corporate America has been one of the hardest things I have had to do. Nikki gave me permission to want more, without feeling guilty about it. Coaching with Nikki felt like unlearning survival mode. I have finally stepped into leadership that actually fits me."

This wasn't fluffy mindset work. It was strategy rooted in who I am. Nikki helped me build a personal brand that finally reflects my value. I advocated for a raise and led my first cross-functional project — all within 2 months."

"I've never been the loudest in the room, and for years I thought that meant I wasn't leadership material. Nikki never tried to 'fix' that, she actually leaned into it. I can't even explain what a relief it was to finally feel like I get to lead as my authentic self. Now when I speak, people listen, and I'm not performing."

"I had the business idea for 2 years but was stuck in analysis paralysis. Nikki's CEO framework gave me the strategic roadmap to launch without burning bridges. Six months later, I'm fully independent and more fulfilled than I've ever been."
