"When you want something, the universe conspires to helping you achieve it." "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." These are some of Nadine Chapman’s favorite quotes and they have changed her life. Oh, and we talk about how your "dinosaur tail" gets in your way. It is the start of a great conversation! Nadine started her career in the Federal Government as an attorney and rose up the ranks quickly. When she was 30 years old and had her “good government job” (per her mother), she decided to give it up and restart her career at the World Bank. She dreamed of working at the World Bank since she was a little girl. This took courage to make a significant change when most people would have said “stay in your safe job” but yet she moved out of her comfort zone. And, her goal-orientation got her ready…she had a vision and a goal for the future. She was resilient as she got knocked down at her new job because it was vastly different from her role in the government. All the while she listened to the voice inside her that told her to move, do more and fly. Her story is incredibly personal and infused with amazing advice! Nadine is currently the Manager of Mediation Services for the World Bank Group (WBG), an International Finance Institution that employs over 30,000 staff world-wide. In that capacity, she manages a decentralized team that provides employment mediation, facilitation, organizational consulting and training. She joined the WBG in 2000 as a Mediation Officer. Nadine has held several senior positions within the WBG, and has extensive experience handling complex employment case matters and is a trained mediator, facilitator, arbitrator and trainer. Prior to joining the WBG she served as an Attorney Adviser and Dispute Resolution Specialist for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. She has also served as an adjunct professor at the Howard University School of Law and Catholic University of America. Nadine has an interest in empowering individuals, in particular women. To that end, she has been a featured speaker at numerous conferences and events. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Howard University and a Juris Doctorate Degree from the Catholic University of America School of Law.Connect with Nadine to learn more about her and her background:LinkedIn = https://www.linkedin.com/in/nadine-chapman-79201910/Sign up for our newsletter at https://abbraccigroup.com/.
