Her Story

Candi Campbell is an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with more than 14 years of professional executive coaching experience and 23 years of leadership and management experience within the U.S. Intelligence Community. She brings a distinctive combination of executive coaching expertise and firsthand leadership experience in complex, high-consequence, mission-driven organizations. Throughout her coaching career, Candi has worked with leaders at multiple levels—from emerging leaders and new managers to senior executives—helping them navigate leadership transitions, strengthen performance, build more effective relationships, increase self-awareness, and lead successfully through organizational change. 

Candi has extensive experience delivering executive and leadership coaching within federal, defense, and intelligence environments, including engagements supporting the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Federal Occupational Health, and other organizations. Through NGA’s All Leaders Coaching Program, she coached professionals ranging from Band 3 employees through incoming SES/SIS senior executives and facilitated upward-feedback, team coaching, and leadership-development initiatives. Earlier in her career, she served in leadership roles with the Central Intelligence Agency and during assignments with the National Reconnaissance Office, experiences that provide her with practical insight into the challenges leaders face during periods of transition, organizational realignment, and increased responsibility. 

Her coaching approach combines thoughtful inquiry, candid feedback, structured assessment, and practical application. Candi creates a confidential environment in which leaders can examine challenges, broaden their perspectives, identify opportunities for growth, and translate insight into meaningful changes in leadership behavior. She is particularly effective in helping leaders navigate transitions, strengthen communication and relationships, build resilience, and address difficult or high-stakes leadership situations. 

Candi is qualified to administer and facilitate a range of leadership and behavioral assessments, including DiSC®, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), FIRO Element B, Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI®), ACUMEN® Leadership WorkStyles, and Benchmark 360.
