Nona King, BMus'91, MBA | Houston, TX
Nona King is a career coach for professionals looking to advance or pivot in their careers. She specializes in career development, personal branding, and making high-impact connections by uncovering untapped potential and providing the connections to help professionals reimagine their careers and possibilities in life. In the last year, she’s helped her clients increase their average pay by over $40K, while landing roles they love, at companies that align with their values and goals where they can be their fully authentic selves.
Early in her career she found it challenging as a young woman of color climbing the corporate ladder, because she didn’t have the tools or the mentors to help guide her career. As a result, she found herself underemployed, underpaid and working in roles that were not fulfilling. Nona founded Career Catalyst Group to share her learnings and her network, so others can successfully advance or pivot in their career.
Nona’s “why” goes beyond winning new job opportunities. She enjoys helping her clients discover who they are at their core, their talents, hidden skills, and what brings them fulfillment so they can always bring the best of themselves not only to work but also in their personal lives.
