Taylor became an executive coach to help leaders transform themselves and their teams through adult development theory and expansive thinking. Her formal education in this field started at Vanderbilt University, where she studied Human and Organizational Development and received her Master of Education from Peabody College. While in Nashville, She worked as a team facilitator and leadership coach and witnessed how integral a team mindset is for leadership development. This led her to train in graphic facilitation with The Grove International. She then moved to Washington, DC, and began her ICF certification process through Georgetown University’s highly-regarded executive coaching program. Before coaching, she taught special education in underserved communities, where she learned the importance of joy in learning and pushing past your perceived boundaries. After leaving education, she started her commercial brokerage, where she learned to support leaders in high-stakes decision-making and create long-lasting relationships based on trust and value.
