Nancy Eberhardt

"Companies with leaders who communicate directly and honestly consistently outperform the competition. So why is candor so uncommon?"

This is Nancy Eberhardt's questions to leaders and teams around the country. She knows lack of candor is the number-one reason for mischief in our relationships. Because of unproductive conversation, we fail to get the velocity and results that we desire. Our failure to be straightforward is a barrier not only to productivity but also to satisfaction. It's simply no fun to live under illusions, whether on the job or in the home.

With her inspirational and instructive tone, she is the mentor today's leaders and managers need to show them just what is possible when they transform how their team communicates. Nancy shares many stories about leaders who have learned from their experiences, and about her own evolution in learning the value of candor, illustrating the power of straightforward communication and what we miss when it is lacking. It's time that we create a culture of candor in our workplaces and in our lives.

CEO and Founder of Pathwise Partners, Nancy Eberhardt is giving leaders and managers the tools they need to communicating more effectively, transform their organizational culture, and focus on what's truly important. A woman of integrity who believes that straight talk has the power to turn any relationship around—business or personal—Nancy is the one you want on your team to help you on the path toward achieving your vision.

Throughout her career, Nancy has been teaching the principle of candor to help leaders and organizations transform their communication using and accelerate their growth.
