NANCY SPIVEY

Founder, Ready Set Resumes
Career and Professional Development Coach | Executive Advisor  

Nancy Spivey is the founder of Ready Set Resumes and a career and professional development strategist who works with professionals, leaders, and executives at pivotal moments in their careers. Her work focuses on strategic positioning, helping clients articulate their value clearly, communicate with confidence, and present themselves effectively in competitive environments.

Nancy’s career began in the staffing and recruiting industry, where she worked closely with both hiring managers and job seekers. That experience gave her a rare, inside view of how hiring decisions are made, and why many highly capable professionals struggle not because of a lack of talent, but because of how they communicate their experience. Recognizing this gap early, Nancy began developing and delivering training programs to help professionals strengthen their messaging, interviews, and professional presence. Her work was shared through the Georgia Association of Personnel Services and became the foundation of her transition into coaching, training, and facilitation.

A defining strength of Nancy’s work is her deep background in professional communication and presentation. From an early age, she received coaching in professional presentation and public speaking and began presenting from the stage early in her career. This foundation continues to shape her approach today, particularly in interview coaching, executive presence, and high-stakes professional conversations. Clients often seek her out specifically for her ability to help them communicate with clarity, composure, and authority under pressure.

Following the IT industry downturn early in her career, Nancy experienced a layoff that became a turning point, clarifying her commitment to helping others navigate career transitions with intention rather than uncertainty. Since then, she has worked with thousands of clients across industries, including executives, professionals, and emerging leaders.

In 2001, Nancy founded Transformation Consultants, Inc. to support individuals and organizations through strategic change and professional growth. She later co-launched Best Business Minds, a mastermind-based platform focused on collaboration, implementation, and results, and co-created Become THE Recognized Expert, a program designed to help professionals increase visibility, credibility, and influence.

Nancy holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and completed professional coach training through the Co-Active Training Institute (formerly Coaches Training Institute), an International Coach Federation–accredited program. Her work today reflects a consistent throughline: helping capable professionals communicate their value clearly, position themselves strategically, and move forward with confidence at critical career moments.
