Nena Styles

With more than 20 years of leadership experience serving in Fortune 500 organizations, I am passionate about developing leaders who create lasting impact through people. Throughout my career, I’ve led teams, developed talent, improved performance, and built cultures centered on accountability, growth, and authentic leadership.

Today, I serve as a Leadership Development Consultant, Speaker, and Author of MOVE™ Them or Lose Them: A Leadership Framework for Developing People and Improving Performance. Through keynote presentations, leadership workshops, coaching, and consulting, I partner with organizations to equip leaders with practical strategies that strengthen employee development, improve team performance, and build sustainable leadership pipelines.

My leadership philosophy is rooted in servant leadership, authenticity, and the belief that organizations thrive when leaders intentionally invest in the growth of their people. Whether speaking to executives, frontline leaders, or emerging managers, my mission is to help organizations develop leaders who don’t simply manage people—they MOVE™ them.

Nena Styles is a Leadership and Workforce Development Strategist, author, speaker, consultant, and CEO of CADRE Solutions, a professional development consultancy dedicated to helping organizations strengthen leadership, improve employee engagement, and cultivate healthier workplace cultures.

Her work focuses on helping organizations move beyond task-based management to create environments where employees and teams can thrive.

Coaching with Nena Styles means partnering with someone who brings more than two decades of real-world leadership experience—not just theory. Having led teams within Fortune 500 organizations and developed leaders at multiple levels, I understand the challenges leaders face and provide practical, results-driven strategies that can be applied immediately.

My coaching approach is centered on developing leaders who inspire trust, improve performance, and intentionally invest in the growth of their people. Every coaching engagement is personalized to your goals, equipping you with the mindset, tools, and accountability needed to lead with confidence and create lasting impact.

Whether you’re an emerging leader, an experienced manager, or an executive seeking to strengthen your leadership effectiveness, my commitment is to help you become the kind of leader people choose to follow, not because they have to, but because you motivate others while investing in their success.
