"I am bringing resources to my black people in terms of providing free seminars to advance their personal and professional development, reaching out to the community to raise their awareness about organizations that white people are utilizing to advance themselves like Toastmasters, Rotary Club and other volunteer organizations; and I have created a networking group called Chitown Buppies (http://www.chitownbuppies.com) to provide a forum for Chicagoland black urban professionals to network and share resources.
One of my primary frustrations in life is that black people can be so close-minded and unaware but we expect so much. Our minds are powerful. We are very creative and a highly intelligent people. But our minds are also like a parachute, unless it is open, it doesn't work."
Niquenya D. Fulbright is an executive life coach, management consultant, mediator, author, corporate trainer and motivational speaker with over 10 years experience motivating small business owners, entrepreneurs, executives, nonprofit leadership, groups and individuals in a career or life transition to use their innate abilities to master their goals and achieve successes beyond their wildest dreams.
Her certifications in Christian life coaching and mediation have increased her ability to develop managers at all levels into powerful leaders and innovative thinkers. Niquenya believes strongly in applying a holistic approach to success and works hard to promote balance in all areas of her clients’ lives. Whether it is business, career, family, intimate relationships, finances, personal satisfaction or otherwise; Niquenya is an expert at motivating clients to see the big picture, create a vision, overcome obstacles and define a realistic plan to begin living a life they love.
Formerly, Niquenya has worked in a number of industries including healthcare, retail, hospitality, accounting, insurance, human resources, federal government and even the non-profit sector. Her lighthearted but firm approach to creative problem-solving has allowed her to quickly work her way up from line-level employee into the upper echelons of management. Niquenya has been sought after as the "go-to" person in every position she has ever held. In fact, Niquenya's resourcefulness has long been the brunt of much cajoling by friends and family members who for years have been waking her at all hours of the early morning for direction in various sorts of crises. Although Niquenya now collects a fee for her services, she subscribes to the pay-it-forward movement and spends much of her free time volunteering for a number of Chicagoland non-profit agencies.
Niquenya possesses a BS in Technical Management and a professional diploma in Network Administration. A strong believer in life-long learning, Niquenya plans to continue her education in pursuit of a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology at Argosy University.
Niquenya’s vast experience and diverse training makes it relatively effortless for her to empathize with most issues facing executive staff. She enjoys the personal satisfaction of knowing that her focus on intention, planning and action often makes a huge impact in the ease of transitions to management. An entrepreneur at heart, her biggest joy is in calling people forth to embrace their personal mission by defining a clear, achievable vision for the future. Her own mission is to help others build a bridge between their dreams and ultimate reality by making positive, sustaining and measurable changes in all aspects of their lives. Past clients have included executives from BP Amoco, Morningstar, Pepsi-Co and a number of non-profit organizations and smaller corporations throughout the U.S.
When she is not giving generously of her time, she enjoys watching movies with her two children in their Edgewater home or sweating out her latest chocolate binge at her local gym.
