I had the opportunity to work with Nyla on an immersive program designed to equip senior leaders with practiced skills to navigate an increasingly “VUCA” world. Nyla and her team facilitated an amazing, 10-month learning experience, partnering corporate leaders with startups working on systemic societal challenges in India. My group tackled sustainability & circularity challenges within the waste-to-value theme.
Nyla effectively coached our cohort to take a systems approach to deeply understand the complexity of the problem and explore end to end solutions within suboptimal conditions. What emerged was a multi-stakeholder collaboration that accelerated the impact of an impressive circular business model tackling landfill waste in India. Given her rich experience in navigating complex and systemic problem spaces, I would readily recommend Nyla as a Leadership Coach and trusted partner, as you tackle your own leadership challenges.”
