Nancy Litzler
Nancy Litzler’s extensive corporate experience, combined with her human resources expertise, makes her a truly unique business coach. Nancy is a seasoned executive coach with more than 30 years of corporate business experience, 12 years of which were working at the senior executive level. She works to empower executives, managers and others to achieve their life dreams and professional goals.
Nancy began her career at Coopers & Lybrand (now Pricewaterhouse Coopers) and joined ClubCorp as Operations Manager in 1986. She later transferred to ClubCorp’s Human Resources department, where she formally embarked on her executive and coaching career.
Nancy earned an MBA in 1988 and joined Eljer Industries, Inc. in 1989 to help establish a Human Resources department and support the integration of three operating companies with distinctly diverse cultures. During her tenure, Nancy supported the CEO to keep employee morale high during litigation with the company’s former parent, as well as during two hostile takeover attempts—a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filing of a subsidiary and a merger in 1997.
In 1995, Nancy became Eljer’s Vice President, Human Resources, and assumed responsibility for the total human resources function. She also assumed responsibility for executive compensation matters, working with the Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee.
During this time, Nancy gained a strong reputation as a visible and fair leader who built confidence and trust through extensive, hands-on coaching with employees at the plants and at the corporate headquarters. She remained with Eljer for the six months after the company was acquired by Zurn in January 1997 to help facilitate the change in control and to smoothly transition human resources responsibilities to Zurn’s existing vice president of human resources.
In 1997, Nancy joined Dave & Buster's, Inc. as a member of the executive team. Here, she participated in the development and implementation of business strategy and growth policies that grew the company from 12 locations and 3,200 employees to 50 locations and 8,000 employees in less than 10 years. As Senior Vice President, Human Resources, Nancy served as an expert resource to members of Dave & Buster’s senior management team. She led the company’s national human resources team, identified best strategic human resources practices and developed an internal coaching department that continues to help senior management, managers and individuals with leadership potential develop their core leadership competencies.
Throughout her tenure at Dave & Buster’s, Nancy identified the best competitive strategic human resource practices for the company, which included leadership development, succession planning and performance management. She provided coaching to executives, senior management, and middle management to enhance multi-dimensional development and leadership effectiveness to maximize performance.
Today, Nancy is following her own passion—which is helping others succeed through coaching.
