Nina Ham, CPCC, LCSW
Nothing thrills me more than to accompany women as they create work they're wholehearted about, and to witness them become their potential.
Here's the Heart of the Matter!
Work has always seemed to represent, for me, the place where the intimately personal – our dreams, our uniqueness, our doubts and vulnerabilities - meets the world. Out of that meeting emerges, sometimes gracefully and sometimes haltingly, a sense of belonging within the worldwide community. This macro-belonging, alongside our belonging within family and loved ones, nourishes us into the full breadth of personhood that's our birthright.
I consider it a privilege to bring my insights about people and the process of change to my coaching relationships. Within that relationship we collaborate to fulfill that birthright - energetically, respectfully, and often playfully!

Here's what others say:
"I was looking for work and I was broke. I had to give up my house and move in with a friend, but I held onto my coaching with Nina because I knew she could help me find work I could believe in. "
~HM, health care administrator
"As a result of our work together, I've developed a much clearer understanding of my goals and the process required to realize them. I've transformed my anxiety into creative energy, and the glass is looking half full instead of half empty. It feels as though I'm in a whole new world of possibilities. "
~JS, graphic designer
"Nina encourages, prods, clears paths (and your mind), directs, and shines light on the way to a future consistent with who you are, not who you have been. She provides that safe space to find what your heart is trying to tell you."
~EC, VP of health care organization
"Following graduation from my MBA program, I worked with Nina to answer some pressing questions about the next step for my career: How would my socially conscious values, the new skills and expectations gained at my MBA program, and the need for balance in the non-work part of my life come together? I worked with Nina to get help navigating this difficult and important terrain, and I'm very pleased with the decision I've made. "
