Our Staff
Stacy Flaherty, President and CEO
Stacy is in charge of anything and everything here at NVW, from scheduling courses and hiring staff to rebooting the WiFi and changing lightbulbs. Having steered the company for over twenty years, she loves the surprises and challenges that come with owning her own business. Stacy currently holds the title of Happiest Woman in the World because her daughter, Devin, works 10 feet away from her.

Mary Putterman, Registrar
Mary has worked for NVW for "just" ten years, but has known James for over thirty: the two of them were roommates all throughout the 70's! An Enneagram One, her organizational skills keep all the classes in order and her compassionate heart takes care of all the students' needs. We couldn't do it without her.
Maryellen Myers, Graduate Development
Maryellen is our "go-to" gal for all matters Graduate, making sure that our certified coaches stay current and that graduate programs are filled. Meanwhile, she keeps the office in stitches with her bawdy humor. She loves to travel, and she always walks around with extra cash in her wallet, just in case she needs to jet!
Christy Svanemyr, Undergraduate Development
Christy attended the Professional Coaching Course back in 2003, fell madly in love with the work, and decided to make it her life. She has been working for the company ever since, and is the person of contact for any questions you have about our programs. Ordained as a Monk under Zen Master Genpo Roshi, she lives with her husband at Kanzeon Zen Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, and makes monthly visits to San Francisco to get her fill of hugs from all the people she loves.

Devin Flaherty, Director of Communications
After graduating college in June 2009, Devin had dreams of breaking into the nonprofit sector to save the world. Unfortunately, the economy would have nothing of that, and she was left jobless. As luck would have it, though, mother Stacy had a position available back in the office Devin had so often frequented as a child. She has just moved back from Southern California into a great apartment in San Francisco, and loves seeing her parents every day.
Michael Cabanlit, Production/Logisitcs Supervisor
Michael never had aspirations to work for a coach training school; he just stumbled on NVW by chance...that's what a craigslist search for "events" will get you. Michael is the events wizard here at the office, pulling off such miracles as retrieving a lost shipment in South Africa and coordinating a four-day-long class in Singapore (a 15-hour time difference!) while keeping all the courses running smoothly here in the States. An avid theatre actor, he hopes one day to be able to perform for the NVW community.
Jean Marie Bauer, Facilities Hostess
Jean Marie has been taking care of our students for more than seven years, quietly refilling the coffee urns and laying out delicious organic snacks during our classes. She loves supporting our coaches and staff and hopes to be doing this for a long, long time to come. Jean Marie lives in Marin with her husband and step-daughter.
