Executive Coaching For Marketing & Communications Leaders Stepping Into Expanded Roles

Leadership Coach | Communications Strategist

Nyla Hassell

I HELP LEADERS

STEP INTO THEIR NEXT LEVEL

AND OWN IT.

Consider this your unfair advantage.

I spent more than 20 years building brands, leading teams, and navigating the kind of organizational complexity that never shows up in a leadership manual. That experience, paired with strengths-based and neuroscience-informed frameworks, shapes every workshop I design and every coaching engagement I take on.

Whether you're developing leaders on your team or looking for a strategic thinking partner for yourself, the work is the same:

Clarify your strengths.

Create alignment.

Lead sustainably.

Make an impact.

What Clients Say

  • Impactful Leadership Workshop

    “Nyla is an incredible facilitator whose passion for leadership is both grounding and infectious. She doesn’t just teach strategy—she embodies it. Participants at our Leadership and Belonging Summit walked away inspired, reflecting deeply on what it means to lead from within—with authenticity, calm, and care. Nyla is inspirational, and we look forward to having her back.”

    — Ralinda Watts, Creator of the Leadership and Belonging Summit | RalindaSpeaks

  • Breaking the Burnout Cycle

    “After 25 years in high-stress communications roles (politics, nonprofits, advocacy), I believed my worth was tied to productivity. I was burned out, and my anxiety affected every part of my life. Nyla opened my eyes to the power of the pause. With her ‘Pause, Ground, Align then Act’ framework, I broke the burnout cycle, managed my anxiety, and asked for a better role at work which I got. Her tools still support me today, especially when life feels overwhelming.”

    — Stephanie, SVP Communications

  • Navigating Career Rebirth

    “After getting laid off in 2022, I felt pretty lost. My confidence had taken a hit, and I wasn’t sure what came next. I’d never worked with a coach before, but Nyla helped me find my way out of that tough time. She gave me the courage to see my strengths in a new light and start believing in myself again. With her support, I’ve grown so much, both professionally and personally. I ended up securing a new role that that better fit the lifestyle i wanted."

    —Rennae, Strategic Partnerships

  • From Confusion to Clarity

    “I connected with Nyla for coaching at a time when I wasn't sure of anything; my life felt like it was falling apart. I had a successful career, but I didn’t particularly care about the work I was doing. Together, we visualized the future version of myself—the one I actually wanted to be. Almost three years later, I’m becoming that version of me. I quit my job, fully jumped into entrepreneur mode, and started to believe in myself. Thanks to Nyla, I’m on the path to the real me.”

    — M.O., Creative Director

  • A Boost Up The Ladder

    “I was excited about the big promotion but then I felt totally overwhelmed trying to lead a team that wasn’t exactly open to change. I wasn’t showing up how I wanted to, and it was frustrating. I’m so glad I found Nyla. She helped me work through the tough stuff and play to my strengths. It’s already making a big difference.”

    —Kerry, Sr. Director Social Media

  • Stabilizing Through Transition

    “I had just moved for a new job, uprooted my family, and hit a breaking point with stress. Nyla taught me mindfulness techniques and boundary-setting practices that helped me manage anxiety and regain control. These tools transformed my work-life balance and gave me confidence to face future challenges. For the first time in a long while, I feel truly in control.”

    — Angela, Marketing Director

The Moments I’m Usually Called Into

• A leader steps into a bigger role and the expectations have changed overnight.
• A talented team is struggling to align and move together.
• A high performer is navigating burnout, pressure, or a career crossroads.
• An organization is growing or reorganizing and needs leaders who can rise to the moment.

People usually reach out when something important is shifting.

These are the moments where thoughtful partnership makes the difference.

Ways We Can Work Together

Leaders and teams often reach a moment where the demands around them outgrow the way they’ve been operating.

That’s when our work together begins.

For the leader navigating a transition, stepping into a new level of responsibility, or quietly wondering if the way they've been working is actually sustainable. Coaching with me is direct, human-centered, and grounded in your actual strengths, not a generic playbook. If you're ready for a strategic thinking partner to help you unlock your edge — let's talk.
