If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it. - Mary Engelbreit

It takes firsthand experience to understand the challenges, frustrations and opportunities facing business owners and managers today. Nancy Proffitt has that experience.

Prior to founding Proffitt Management Solutions, she served as a senior management executive with FedEx Corporation for more than 20 years, using her leadership development and business skills and her profit-oriented attitudes to promote positive, rapid and lasting organizational change.

In 2001, she decided to share those skills and attitudes with executives and professionals in other fields who need assistance with recognizing and resolving internal issues that stifle employee potential and restrain profits. She augmented her education credentials (BME in Education, MBA in Finance & Operations) by earning a Business Coaching Certification at the RAC Coaching Academy, Wyomissing, PA.

She has since provided executive business coaching for physicians/practice managers in multi-physician practices, executives in large healthcare organizations, and small/mid-sized businesses as well as for large international clients.

Today, she is a recognized author and keynote speaker on executive business coaching, leadership development, business management, strategy planning, time management and more. She has been named a "Top 100 Leader in Fortune 100 Business", rated in the Top 1% of Leadership and Business Performance in a Global 100 Company and is listed in the Cambridge Who's Who of Executives and Professionals. She has served on the Board of Directors for Legacy Bank, Leadership Palm Beach County and Habitat for Humanity, South Palm Beach County.

Nancy is known for her no-nonsense and often humorous coaching style which focuses on maximizing human potential to produce measurably increased profits.

"Coaching isn't cheerleading and it isn't therapy," she says. "It is a process which helps people eliminate the unproductive habits, attitudes and internal policies and procedures that make everyone work too hard for too little profit. After all, who wants to live like that?"
