Leadership Transformation, Organizational Growth
Strategic solutions through the art and science of executive & leadership coaching.

Welcome to The HR Savant

The HR Savant is a boutique executive and leadership coaching practice founded and led by Global HR Executive, Marquisa S. Nash. With more than 20 years of international HR leadership experience, I specialize in executive transitions, leadership development, and team coaching.

 

🌍 Based in Brussels and the U.S., I partner with leaders and leadership teams worldwide to navigate complexity, strengthen decision-making, and drive sustainable growth

Why “Savant”?

The name The HR Savant reflects mastery and growth — combining the science of organizational performance with the art of human leadership. This balance defines my boutique approach: evidence-based yet human, structured yet creative, delivering transformation that lasts.

Coaching with Accountability

Transformation requires both insight and follow-through. That’s why I use CoachAccountable, a platform that:

  • Tracks progress and leadership milestones.

  • Creates accountability between coach and client.

  • Reinforces new habits so change sticks beyond coaching sessions.

Stronger Productivity & Engagement

Leaders coached with accountability sustain higher productivity and long-term growth.

50% Higher Team Performance

Teams report greater collaboration, resilience, and alignment when supported by coaching.

788% ROI

Organizations that invest in coaching see a median return on investment of 788% (ICF).

About The HR Savant

Tailored Coaching, Measurable Impact

At The HR Savant, I deliver boutique executive and leadership coaching that blends the science of evidence-based frameworks with the art of human leadership conversations. Every engagement is personally led, ensuring measurable results and sustainable transformation.

 

Executive Transition Coaching is offered exclusively through Visionary Convergence — a 12–18 month flagship program based on Navid Nazemian’s Double Diamond Framework™. This structured approach equips executives in new roles or global assignments to accelerate impact, avoid missteps, and establish long-term success.

 

The other five focus areas — Executive & Leadership Coaching, Team Coaching & Facilitation, Succession & Leadership Coaching, Culture & Change Leadership Coaching, and Career & Mobility Coaching — are delivered through the Organizational Coaching Experience Plans. These structured journeys range from 3 to 12 months, with the 3-month option serving as an introduction for executives new to coaching or a kickstart for teams seeking rapid alignment.

 

What sets The HR Savant apart is a focus on areas often overlooked in boutique coaching:

  • Succession & Leadership Coaching – Bridging enterprise succession practice with executive coaching to help leaders mentor successors, strengthen pipelines, and leave a leadership legacy.

  • Culture & Change Leadership Coaching – Grounded in Prosci change management principles, equipping leaders to align culture with strategy, role-model new behaviors, and sustain transformation.

  • Career & Mobility Coaching – Leveraging 20+ years of HR leadership in global organizations, including work in international mobility, to support executives through expatriation, cross-border roles, and high-stakes career pivots.

This structure — a flagship program for executive transitions, flexible experience plans for leadership, team, succession, change, and mobility, and a unique boutique focus — positions The HR Savant as a coaching practice with global relevance and measurable impact.
