Nadia Carr

Born in El Salvador, Nadia Carr spent her early childhood in a country shaped by conflict, scarcity, and uncertainty. Raised by parents who were professors of dramatic arts and cultural pioneers, she was immersed in creativity, empathy, and problem-solving from a young age. Their teachings shaped her early understanding that every challenge holds a solution, and that connection and compassion are powerful forces for change.

Introduced to the stage at the age of four through a university production, Nadia developed a deep respect for storytelling and the inner world of human experience. This early exposure led to a professional career spanning more than three decades in the performing arts as an actor, director, teacher, writer, and producer. In 2005, she co-founded Pacun-Peras The-a-Tro in Toronto, a theatre company dedicated to meaningful and socially conscious storytelling.

While building her creative career, Nadia also pursued a path in healthcare administration, where she achieved external success while raising a family. Over time, she began to experience an internal disconnect, prompting a defining question: “Am I still aligned with who I am?” This moment marked a turning point and led her into life coaching, and eventually executive coaching and leadership development.

Determined to help others navigate similar moments of transition, Nadia founded NT Coaching Solutions in 2018. She went on to create The CORE Formula™, a leadership framework grounded in Clarity, Ownership, Realignment, and Energy/Execution, designed to help high-performing professionals and organizations realign internally and lead with confidence under pressure.

Today, Nadia works with executives, leaders, and high-performing professionals navigating growth, change, and misalignment. Blending science-backed coaching, emotional intelligence, and the discipline of the performing arts, she delivers impactful keynotes and leadership programs that help individuals reconnect with their inner voice, resilience, and leadership presence.

A PCC-certified Leadership and Executive Mindset Coach and international speaker, Nadia has been nominated for Best Practice Coach at FYidoctors Healthgroup and has shared the stage with global thought leaders, including Brian Tracy. Her work reminds audiences that leadership is not something to perform, but something to return to.

Using The CORE Formula™: Clarity, Ownership, Realignment, and Energy/Execution, she provides a practical framework to recalibrate internally, restore clarity, and lead with confidence and presence under pressure.

Thoroughly enjoyed my coaching sessions with Nadia! She is immensely genuine, which made it super easy to connect and establish an honest and valuable coaching partnership. And her intuition is like a super power - she could pick up on what I was feeling and what was not being said. She was game for all that I threw at her. From parenting struggles to unearthing some deep beliefs that weren’t serving me, no topic was off limits. I highly recommend Nadia.
