Who is Nancy Shugart?

After going blind at the young age of eight, Nancy encountered overwhelming obstacles. "Stop. You're too different. You're aiming too high. Your plans are too bold." These were words Nancy heard a lot growing up.

The only one in her family to go to college, Nancy earned a bachelor's and master's degree. She went on to teach in the Austin Independent School District for more than two decades, something the experts had said would be impossible to achieve due to her blindness.

Today Nancy is an award-winning author, professional keynote speaker and trainer, recognized community volunteer, and celebrated business woman as the recipient of the Blazing Star Award, presented by the Women's Chamber of Commerce of Texas.

She has a long history of serving her state of Texas with five gubernatorial appointments.

She is a master educator with a proven plan.

The formula for achieving more than most believe possible can only be taught by someone who has done it. Invite Nancy to fire up your talented people and empower them to perform at their highest level!
