About

Hi, there.

I’m Nancy, CEO and co-founder of Clockwork. I challenge people to unleash their potential and harness the human side of business—by showing up different.
We’ve been through a lot of “different” lately, in all parts of life. But I’m talking about the kind of different YOU get to control. Yes, YOU. It starts with reimagining what’s possible at work.

Kiss the past goodbye.

Things are never going back to the way they were. Some of us aren’t afraid to say it out loud. Work culture is massively shifting right now. We’ve got:

  • Generational changing of the guards
  • Post-pandemic expectations
  • And challenges to the status quo all over the place

That’s actually great. Because the secret to good energy at work isn’t in a room. It’s in our minds and behaviors. And lucky us, we get to reimagine and activate what happens next.

Where we go from here.

My life changed when I tapped into my own power—not the kind that comes from a title. Even as a CEO, I was holding back. Then I decided not to. I started to show up different: as vulnerably human, as a truth-teller, as me.

Everyone holds back because it’s so easy to do. We let all the stuff in our heads get in the way of doing good work.

So I’m here to say: stop limiting your own growth. I’ll kick you in the pants (if I must) to get you un-stuck from old, cozy habits. Oh yes, I will. I’ve spent years honing my own mindset practices and preaching about using our personal power to be the change we want in our workplaces.

I know we can’t change everything, but we can change some things. There’s power in that. We start with ourselves, by showing up different.

Let’s get to it. I’ll show you how.
