Today’s Fast Action Fridays guest is Nyota Gordon, an adaptability coach and leadership strategist, who honed her skills during a 22 year service stint with the U.S. Army. She went in expecting to serve four years. Surprise!
While I’ve never served in the military, I resonated especially with the Aha! moment Nyota shared on the issue of delegating during our interview, and the debilitating weight when you haven’t any system for delegating in place.
There were so many great Aha! moments. About managing ourselves versus our time … about gifting ourselves the grace to grow … about misjudging our ability to multi-task … plus the biggest lesson she learned about herself and being an entrepreneur.

More about Nyota
She had a difficult transition from military to civilian life because, once out, her life lacked structure and purpose. Fortunately, as she says, she “lucked up on real estate wholesaling and an Entrepreneur was born.”
Now Nyota uses her skills honed in the military as an Adaptability Coach and Leadership Strategist. She created Transition365 to help high performers struggling to use their hard-earned skills embrace adaptability into their careers, businesses, and home lives. She coaches her clients be more adaptable by responding quickly to changing ideas, responsibilities, expectations, trends, and strategies.
Nyota and her clients use entrepreneurship as a vehicle to create their new life’s mission that creates a new steam of income and furthers their service to the world. Together they get rid of limiting beliefs and replace them with powerful certainties.
It’s my job to love people where they are and continue to serve them how I can.
