Nydia's Energy Profile

Get to Know your coach

Nydia Cardenas

Nydia operates with a core belief that our potential is interconnected and is committed to supporting individuals and organizations in their learning and development. That is why, while earning her MBA, she trained in Generative Coaching and was a Fellow in the Center for Positive Organizations. These experiences hooked her on coaching and culture change.Community impact has always been important to Nydia. She started her career at a non-profit focused on economic development in the Latinx community. Next, she was a Senior Analyst for the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program. After interviewing hundreds of entrepreneurs, she was inspired to pursue an MBA and learn the tools of big business and bring them back to the small businesses driving economic development in communities.After graduation, she did just that in Detroit where she launched her own consulting company and taught business planning in English and Spanish. She had the opportunity to engage with innovative impact models like the Equitable Internet Initiative addressing internet access through neighborhood-governed community wireless networks and RISE, an organization harnessing the power of sports to eliminate racial discrimination and champion social justice.Continuing her focus on increasing access to capital for underserved entrepreneurs, Nydia became VP of Customer Success at CrowdSmart, a cutting-edge startup using human-powered AI to improve decision-making and reduce the bias in traditional investing. As in any good startup, she wore many hats and leveraged daily her superpower for building processes.What fuels Nydia’s spirit the most is sharing the transformative tools she’s learned through her education and experience. That’s why in 2020 she launched Cardenas Coaching where she works with individuals to accomplish their goals and facilitates group learning through her Energy Takeback series, a fun and reflective group experience focused on helping people reclaim agency over their energy and feel energized more often than burnt out. It's a mix of personal reflection, group and one-on-one coaching.Nydia holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University and an MBA from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business.
