Marina interviews Nicole Johnson-Scales, CEO & Executive Career Strategist at NJS Consulting Group.

For over 20 years, I have worked to climb the ladder in Corporate America. Throughout these years, I found the best way to thrive as an executive was to be ambitious in the climb and develop professional joy along the way. This why I created NJS Consulting Group; to help executives find courage, confidence, and a powerful strategy to lead with impact.

When working with executives, I help them get out of their own way, develop a strategy to get to their next level of success and find more purpose in their careers. Outside of my one-on-one work with executive leaders, I facilitate team leadership workshops to help the team show up as more impactful leaders and deliver positive change to their organizations. I also offer consulting services to businesses to mitigate risk, support growth initiatives, and create positive transformation with their leadership teams.

I hold an MBA from Olivet Nazarene University and am a certified coach through an International Coach Federation (ICF) accredited program. I am an Adjunct Professor at Loyola University, Chicago, and Lake Forest Graduate School of Management, where I teach courses on Values-Based Leadership, Leading Organizational Change, and Corporate Social Responsibility. I am a Founding Guide at Chief (Chicago), the social network dedicated to women’s leadership.

When I am not serving my clients, you can find me watching a movie with my husband, shopping with my daughter, or laughing on the phone with my son, who lives out of state. I love to travel and spend time with friends and family.
