Business Consulting
Dr. Nance is a trained Systems Thinker by the Cabrera Lab out of Cornell University. Many of us have heard of the Intelligence Quotient (IQ), the Emotional Quotient (EQ) and the Social Quotient (SQ), but did you know that there’s also a Thinking Quotient (TQ)? We live in an age of information overload. I’m sure you’re not surprised to realize that people often aren’t equipped to sift through the massive amount of data that’s available to them as they make a decision. As an individual with ENTP cognitive preferences (see the Meyers Briggs Typology page to learn more!) Dr. Nance has an aptitude for critical thinking and can help you to develop your own Thinking Quotient, which will empower you to navigate your system’s biggest challenges.
Dr. Nance has worked as the physician and founder of WellesenceMD since 2011. As a business owner that has had to understand the front, mid, and back sides of a medical practice while providing excellent care to her patients, she’s learned how to optimize a system. Add to that her experience as a single mom to four now young adult children, she not only holds expertise in healthcare, but also education and human development. Her training with the Cabrera’s has enabled Dr. Nance to uplevel her skill as a systems thinker that can be applied to your professional environment.
