Hello - My name is Lindsey Nehls. I am the Managing Director of Evolve Leadership Group. After years as an executive in clean-tech, where I was SVP of sales, I realized my true passion was in leadership coaching and organizational development. I love to help individuals, teams and organizations evolve and grow.
I bring the perspective and understanding of what it is like to sit in the seat. Over my tenure, I have successfully managed turnarounds increasing sales by 1000%, led $200 million business units, and delivered a billion dollars in enterprise sales. As SVP of sales, I scaled a sales organization - created the vision, culture, and go-to-market strategy, developed sales talent, and established effective processes to drive success. I have been through several acquisitions, helped sell two companies, and lead teams through all the change that comes with new ownership.
I studied at Harvard Business School and Middlebury College. I am certified in New Ventures West Coaching to Excellence, DISC, Booth, and Center for Creative Leadership 360 assessments. When I am not with my clients, I am mountain biking, skiing, and spending time with my family.
“Lindsey has an uncanny gift for transforming and empowering people to out-perform their own imaginations, and has a proven track record of elevating every group, initiative, and/or effort she leads into a winner. You want Lindsey in your corner, and you want Evolve on your team. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

“Lindsey helped me grow in a number of areas: hiring and organizational strategy, technical leadership, listening and responding to team needs, time management, emotional awareness, interpersonal conflict, personal image, and long-term career goals. Since I started working with Lindsey, I have noticed an improvement in my happiness and confidence at work and I feel better equipped to handle the challenges ahead.”

““I always looked forward to coaching sessions with Lindsey. She is resourceful, authentic, and compassionate. Her probing questions and insightful comments made me see myself in a new light. She helped me work through the challenges that I faced in my day-to-day work and synthesize our conversations into a clear and effective plan of action. She also armed me with helpful tools and techniques which I now apply to my daily professional life. One such technique, the GROW model suggested by Lindsey, helped me have an honest conversation with one of my direct reports and chart a path forward where I was previously stalling. I highly recommend Lindsey!”
