The Story Behind Nuancer

Can you hear “New Answer” in Nuancer? The name Nuancer comes from an English/French pun around New Answers and Nuancer. The French verb for “Nuance” means to give subtle differences to, or to treat /consider with nuance. A nuance is a subtle/slight difference in meaning, tone, or color, a shade or gradation.

Nuancer evokes different shades of a color like the different facets of one’s personality. It also evokes the color chart, which symbolizes Diversity, the coexistence of multiple cultures and identities, and the various paths one encounters during one’s life journey. Nuancer also symbolizes your Life’s Perspectives and the color palette you can use to design your Life Story.

How did it all start?

Well, it all started with Betty Stempfer's story...

Through numerous and diverse life transitions, Betty has learned something new about herself each time that has made her stronger. Lately, in reflecting upon what she wants to do next with her life, she has realized that to answer this question, she had to go back to WHO she was and WHAT was important to her:

Authenticity – True Self.

Betty cares deeply about people’s well-being, and she always tries to make them feel welcome and accepted for who they are. As mentioned in her bio, she also loves solving problems, recalling a phrase her secondary math teacher extolled: “A problem well-articulated is half solved!” She thought, wouldn’t it be great if she could help people articulate what their struggles are and, in the process, raise awareness of their own strengths and potential so that they can be happy and successful? Wait! That is what a coach does!
Thus, she envisions a coaching practice, where she can leverage and integrate her cross-cultural experience and scientific methodology. That is how Nuancer Coaching was born- a program founded on the values of Diversity and Authenticity.

Meet Your Coach

Berthe (aka Betty) Stempfer, PhD
Head Coach & Founder,
Nuancer Coaching

Betty is a cultural coach who partners with clients who want to increase their cultural intelligence for better communication and performances, or who are culturally uprooted and want to reconnect with their identity.
She brings to the table 5 decades of living experience across Africa, Europe, and North America, including 20 years of a leadership role in the pharmaceutical industry and more recently in a multinational engineering company.

Betty has first-hand experience with the challenges of being culturally different (mixed heritage; culture shock; female in a male dominant work environment; part of a minority). She wants to raise more awareness on the “side effects” of cultural uprooting, and how coaching can help with such identity crisis and positively impact people’s well-being and life. She believes that a successful life is living by your values. Hence, her coaching approach is strength-based and founded on the values of authenticity and diversity.
Betty lives in Littleton, Colorado, with her husband, their teenage son, and their dog Scooby. She holds a MS in Material Science, a PhD in Process Engineering, and is a member of ICF-Colorado.

Let's Connect

MY ROOTS

Born and raised in Cote d’Ivoire (West Africa) from a mixed heritage of Ivorian and French parents, at seventeen I moved to Europe due to political upheaval in my home country. I spent 13 years in France, continuing my education while relocating every two years to a new city. In 2002, my U.S. adventure began; I live in Littleton, Colorado, with my husband, our teenage son, and our dog Scooby. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, discovering new culinary experiences, taking long walks, practicing yoga and meditation, painting, and reading.

MY CAREER

My career path has been as colorful as my life journey. When I was young, my favorite activity was to solve puzzles and, in school, I quickly came to love math and physics. I always enjoyed the challenge of resolving a math problem, and physics labs were like recess for me: creative and fun. So, naturally, I became a research scientist, working in the pharmaceutical field, first in academia and then industry, where I developed new drugs for cancer patients. I have worn many hats in my 20 years of experience, from scientist to project manager to group leader, and, more recently, to an executive in a multi-national company.
Over the years, I have developed a strong sense of ethics, problem-solving skills, a scientific methodology, excellent cross-functional teamwork skills, an adaptability to manage projects across continents, and a nimble set of strategies in response to an everchanging economy. What I’ve enjoyed most have been the interactions with my colleagues, being part of a team and working together to make a difference, mentoring junior colleagues, and seeing their careers evolve.

HOW I BECAME A COACH

So, how did I end up being a coach? Well, through numerous and diverse life transitions, I have learned something new about myself each time that has made me stronger. Lately, in reflecting upon what I want to do next with my life, I have realized that to answer this question, I had to go back to WHO I was and WHAT was important to me: Authenticity – True Self.
I care deeply about people’s wellbeing, and I always try to make them feel welcome and accepted for who they are.

Wait! That is what a coach does!
Thus, I envision a coaching practice, where I can leverage and integrate my cross-cultural experience and scientific methodology. That is how Nuancer Coaching was born- a program founded on the values of Diversity and Authenticity.

WORK WITH ME

Why should you work with me? Well, because I understand you! I have lived through the challenges of being culturally different. I come from a mixed heritage (dual-culture, ethnic, and religious); I have relocated multiple times and lived on three continents, experiencing the cold slap of culture shock. I have worked as a female in a male dominant environment, raising my gender culture awareness; I am part of a minority. In other words, I have personal experience in the art of reinvention.
So, if you feel like you are struggling with being different, contact me today and let’s talk. I would love to learn about you and explore the opportunity of working together to help you reconnect with your true self so that you can regain your power and experience the freedom of being authentic.
