Practical strategies
for exceptional minds
Executive coaching for leaders ready to thrive on their own terms
You’re smart.
You’re passionate.
But you need a new edge to reach the next level.
If you're ready to lead with clarity, integrity, and purpose, you’re in the right place. I offer executive coaching for leaders in high-impact roles — founders, executives, managers, and rising professionals — who want to lead more effectively, navigate change with confidence, and lead from a style that’s unmistakably their own. I meet you where you are, grounded in a deep understanding of both neurodivergent and neurotypical ways of thinking, leading, and growing.
Measurable Impact, Starting Day One
I coach in the details, not the distance.
In our sessions, we write, edit, rehearse, and pressure-test the work itself — pitches, decks, negotiations, career moves, and team dynamics—so progress shows up in what you actually do next.
Meet Your Coach
Nga Janosov
(pronounced: Nah)
I’ve built a career across sectors, led teams, advised leaders, and solved complex problems in corporate, legislative, nonprofit, and entrepreneurial spaces. I’ve earned my place in high-performance environments.
As a neurodivergent professional, parent of a neurodivergent child, and a first-generation American, I found success when I stopped trying to fit into molds and started building systems that fit me.

The Human Advantage in an AI World
Exceptional minds develop through discernment, trust, and timing — not just outputs
AI can help organize information, spot patterns, and even offer performance tips based on data. AI is a helpful tool, but not a replacement for human coaching.
Research supports this distinction:
-
Insight often emerges through dialogue, not static prompts. As Nancy Kline notes, the quality of attention shapes the quality of thinking [1].
-
Human coaches were nearly three times more effective than AI in developing emotional intelligence and leadership impact [2].
-
Coaching delivers an average 788% ROI, driven by increased clarity, focus, and retention [3].
-
While AI may assist with structured feedback, it cannot replicate the nuance, creativity, or relationship-building required for deep leadership work [4].
-
Co-regulation with another person (whether in the room or on screen) can calm the brain and improve executive function [5].

Ready to move from
stuck to strategic?
Minimum woo.
Maximum follow-through.
I work like an operator. We focus on constraints, trade-offs, and execution — not just insight. You set the priorities, whether we’re designing long-term strategy or clearing the decisions and deliverables in front of you.
My questions are built for action: to help you land on answers you can defend, communicate, and implement. This is a confidential, high-trust space to be direct, honest, and focused on what actually moves the business forward.

What Clients Say
D.T.
Founder and CEO
She got my brain immediately. No fixing, just real support that worked with how I think.
H.H.

Working with Nga helped me stop performing leadership and start embodying it. I’m clearer, calmer, and finally leading from my strengths.
R.A.

I finally understand how to show up for my son without losing myself. Nga gave me tools and compassion.
