I don’t lead from theory. I lead from truth.
Believer | Vision Steward | Author | Speaker
Hello.
I’m Nakia Jones, and I don’t wear masks; I hold mirrors.
I am a builder of systems, a breaker of silence, and a believer in divine redirection.
With over two decades across workforce development, education, nonprofit, and corporate sectors, I’ve led high-impact initiatives at the intersection of structure and spirit, where real strategy meets raw surrender.
Currently serving in Business Development, I help lead, secure, and scale multimillion-dollar projects across industries, drawing on my expertise in operations, compliance, and cross-sector collaboration. But The Pivot isn’t about contracts, it’s about callings.
From managing federal grants to mentoring underserved communities…
From boardrooms to beauty studios…
From executive tables to personal breaking points…
I’ve learned to lead in both structure and stretch.
My gift is helping high-capacity women reclaim the voice they silenced for survival, reframing the identity they contorted for acceptance, and rebuilding the life that was broken for God's glory.
-
I provoke clarity from your core, extracting it from the place you buried it.
-
I lead people to purpose and through the disruption it demands.
-
The stage is my altar; I don’t just speak from stages.
“I don’t teach tactics, I pivot women who can shift rooms, break cycles,
and lead Kingdom-first.”
I’m not here to sell you pretty. I’m here to reveal your power. I didn’t come wrapped in aesthetics, I came wrapped in oil. Because life didn’t just test me… it took me to the edge.
I’ve been unraveled by the truth I once built my life around, emptied by loss, and baptized in silence. And one day, without a second thought and without a plan, just a belief that what God prophesied over my life would be...
I got up. Not to impress. Not to perform, but to intercede. First, for myself. And when God showed up for me, I began interceding for every woman I knew who was tired of shrinking, smiling, and surviving in silence. I will ONLY praise God!

Welcome to the shift.”
I’m Not a Coach, Mentor, or Sponsor
Coaches help sharpen your skills before the door opens. Mentors hand you the blueprint so you can execute a proven process. Sponsors leverage their influence and speak your name in rooms of opportunity and possibility.
But me? I AM THE PIVOT...
I’m the execution point where strategy and spirit collide. With me, you don’t rehearse for the room, you receive confirmation that you were always called to it. Your coach, mentor, and sponsors were the vessels God used to move you from training ground to access… from access to expansion… and finally, to the point of divine transition. As your Pivot Leader, I’ve been equipped by both experience and the Spirit of God to help you sharpen your mental fortitude, strengthen your spiritual authority, and strip off the mask of performance. So when the applause fades, you’re still standing; unshaken and absolutely certain you belong in the room.
-
This is more than mindset.
-
This is spirit-led strategy.
-
This is faith with a posture of rich embodiment.
-
This is becoming, redefined.
The Pivot isn’t polite, it’s disruptive.
It doesn’t knock. It kicks the door in.
The Pivot Principle
SPIRIT. STRATEGY. SELF
PIVOTING for PROFESSIONALS
From Breakthroughs to Boardrooms, The Pivot Isn’t Just Personal. It’s The Spirit Behind Sustainable Success.
The business gets better
when the people do...

This work doesn’t just live in journals and prayer closets. It lives in leadership rooms, classrooms, conference stages, and corporate corridors.
Because burnout has a name badge.
Imposter syndrome has a corner office.
And performance addiction is dressed in a tailored suit with accolades that can't quiet the inner unrest.
The biggest threat to your operations isn’t on your balance sheet, but it’s bleeding into your bottom line.
It’s the internal culture. It’s what happens when the emotional and spiritual well-being of the people driving the mission is ignored.

As a former mid-level leader, team developer, and organizational strategist, I understand both the structure and the soul of professional spaces. I've built programs, led teams, and shaped systems that supported growth, but I’ve also seen what happens when professionals are producing at high levels while living in quiet depletion.
The Pivot for Professionals addresses what your HR manual won’t. It speaks to the silent wrestle behind polished resumes, the career shifts that don’t make sense on paper, and the call to purpose that doesn’t fit in your current job description.
P
My corporate keynotes, educational trainings, and staff development intensives are rooted in emotional intelligence, spiritual strategy, and professional clarity. I don’t just inspire teams. I realign them.
This is where high-performers finally get permission to stop pretending and start leading with authenticity.
Because you don’t need another speaker who memorized the metrics.
You need one who’s lived the shift and can guide others through theirs with precision, presence, and prophetic insight.
“Your strategy is only as strong as the culture sustaining it.”
