Executive Coaching & Leadership Development
Lead with greater self-awareness, clarity, confidence, intention, and impact.

I’m Laila Keith, Founder of NovaQuest Coaching. For more than 20 years, I have partnered with Fortune 500 organizations and leaders on talent, leadership, and development strategy, with a focus on executive coaching and leadership development that supports meaningful, sustainable growth.
My work helps leaders navigate complexity with greater self-awareness, behavioral integrity, and intention. I partner with clients to examine the patterns shaping how they think, relate, decide, and lead, so they can respond more consciously, strengthen their impact, and lead in a way that is both effective and authentic.
I hold a BA, ACC, Professional Coaching, Executive Culture Coaching, and Career Coaching Certifications.

Turn curiosity into conscious choices that strengthen how you lead.
At the heart of my leadership development and executive coaching work is my PACT leadership framework, a signature methodology that helps leaders interrupt automatic patterns, deepen awareness, and make more intentional choices in the moments that shape trust, relationships, and results.
PACT supports leaders in recognizing how assumptions, internal narratives, habit loops, and urgency bias can quietly influence behavior before they have consciously chosen how they want to show up. By creating space for reflection in real time, leaders can move from reactivity to values-aligned action anchored in behavioral integrity and conscious leadership.
PACT stands for Perception Check + Pause, Activate Awareness, Conscious Choice, and Test & Tune.
⚡Perception Check + Pause — Notice how the moment is being interpreted, and create a deliberate pause to interrupt automatic reactions.
⚡Activate Awareness — Pay attention to what is happening within, between, and around the leader, including the data, assumptions, emotions, and meaning present.
⚡Conscious Choice — Choose how to show up and what action is most aligned with values, intention, and desired impact.
⚡Test & Tune — Act, observe the effect, and adjust in real time to strengthen alignment, behavioral integrity, effectiveness, and growth.
Through collaborative, results-driven, and inquiry-based coaching, I help clients recognize their strengths, move through challenges, and take purposeful action toward their goals. My personalized approach supports leaders in unlocking their potential, expanding their capability and capacity, and leading with greater clarity, confidence, and fulfillment. Together, we will clarify your career path, create meaningful action plans, and build a sustainable definition of success—at work and in life.
I am proud to have helped many clients achieve their career goals, from landing their dream job to starting their own business. Check out some of their success stories to see what’s possible with the right guidance and support.
