Marketing and Public Relations Director 2007
Nahid Casazza, MBA, is founder of Aspyrre and Vice President of Back to Work Connection. She works with people who want to make a big professional change like starting a business, taking a business to the next level, changing careers, or establishing a strong image in a new corporate environment. In addition to private coaching, Nahid facilitates workshops and success teams to support clients as they challenge themselves to rise to the next level of success. She also speaks regularly at Pepperdine’s Graziadio School of Business and other professional groups in Southern California. Nahid has a Master’s in Business Administration from Pepperdine University and a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology from Michigan State University. Prior to founding her own firm she spent fifteen years training, marketing, recruiting, and mentoring at two of the largest privately held companies in America: Day and Zimmerman and Kingston Technology. In both companies, she was strongly affected by the culture, which allowed employees the freedom to grow and develop their natural talents. Having successfully completed several transitions herself, she strongly encourages clients to believe in themselves and create the life they want. When approached about the position of Vice President, she was surprised, but then she was even more surprised at the thoughts flying through her head. The first was that it's about time she gets more involved with the Orange County coaching community, and that was followed by a whole slew of ideas, like how fun it would be to create coaching excellence or practice-building success groups, and what an exciting challenge it would be to help grow membership. Nahid says, "I love Patricia's enthusiasm and her vision for the next year, and it feels natural and comfortable to support her in building it. I've taught myself to say "no" most of the time, so I can fully commit to what I say "yes" to. I am fully commit to serving the organization, it's mission, Patricia's vision, and most of all, the coaches of Orange County."
