Petra Holcomb retired from Southwest Airlines after 28 years, where she held a variety of jobs. From reservations sales agent to several leadership positions within Reservations, then into training and instructional design, and finally leading the high potential leadership program and talent practices.
In 2020, Petra and her husband, Mike, packed up everything and moved to Kill Devil Hills, NC. After a few years of the retired beach life, Petra decided she wasn’t done working! Since starting her own coaching business, she has worked with the following companies: Ingevity, supporting the redesign of their leadership program; Coastal Ferry providing leadership skills training, and lastly Cleaver as a Resource Executive and coach.
Petra’s coaching and facilitation style is direct yet caring. She has a track record of helping leaders become the best version of themselves as professionals and people. She believes each of us has a special gift that will make those we lead, and the companies we serve, better for having us as a part of their circle. Petra feels her job as a coach is to ensure that gift is amplified and offered in productive ways.
Petra attended the University of Texas, as an art major. Loves art, knitting, her dog Sky, and living on the water.
