Everyone looks to you for direction. Congratulations.
You’re officially knee deep in a leadership identity crisis.
You knew good leadership would take hard work. But now that you’re constantly juggling casting vision, managing people, creating protocols, making high stakes decisions, and simply running meetings that are productive and fun to be at…
you realize this leadership thing is no joke.

You knew good leadership would take hard work. But now that you’re constantly juggling casting vision, managing people, creating protocols, making high stakes decisions, and simply running meetings that are productive and fun to be at…
you realize this leadership thing is no joke.
The number one management thinkers in the world have identified 5 essential qualities of effective leadership:
- INTUITION or hearing what isn’t being spoken
- HUMILITY
- COMMITMENT
- Seeing from different VANTAGE POINTS
- Drawing out the UNIQUE STRENGTHS in others
Well, to be honest, you can demonstrate all of this with integrity and excellence. But you might wanna consider some additional support.
(Which means you’re in the right place)
Cause if you’re supporting everyone else, who is supporting YOU ?
Leadership Coaching isn’t therapy or coffee with a friend. It’s a DYNAMIC RELATIONSHIP where we uncover who you want to be, what’s in your way, and which of your superpowers the world needs most.
With the occasional chance to laugh at yourself. Cause leader + stress = laughter welcome.

"be bigger, be louder, be more impactful"
The support I felt with Nicole has shifted the way I see myself, my business, and my life in so many positive ways. In my 1:1 coaching with Nicole, I can speak to how much her insight has helped me get to a place where I am excited to be bigger, be louder, be more impactful in my life and my business. If you ever have the opportunity to work with her in any capacity, jump ALL in!

Story Strategist & Coach
Certainly you could continue half-implementing every new tool that pops up, investing in the latest expert strategies, or spinning your loved ones' wheels late into the night with your current professional crisis.
You could do some mental spring cleaning, take stock of what’s truly fulfilling, and lead with intuition, humility, focus, an open mind, and a fresh understanding of what sets you apart.
I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING: "There simply aren’t enough hours in the day; how can I add one more thing to my plate?!” True. How can you? In fact, you likely need things taken off your plate.
Which is why I make the coaching process efficient and fun.
Imagine how good it would feel to:
1. define and embrace your leadership style
2. reconnect with the vision that brings you to life, and
3. communicate easily, no matter who or what you’re dealing with
Business moves quickly, relationships get complicated, and it’s hard enough to know WHAT we need, nevermind where to find it.
Here's My Roadmap
phase one
Big Picture Goals
We cast vision by having you articulate WHO you want to be in the coming months, and WHAT obstacles are preventing that from really happening. The heavy lifting (uncovering the WHY this is and HOW we’re gonna get there) is up to me. All you have to do is be present.
Phase two
Enneagram Type
Then we use the Enneagram (a blueprint for human behavior) to dive into your basic needs, motivations and superpowers. This gives us clarity and a custom roadmap to personal growth that results in a healthier, happier you.
Phase three
Core Values
This custom assessment helps us *identify* your deeply held beliefs, and transforms the way you make decisions, manage responsibilities, and respond to relationships. (Yes please?)
Coaching
Weekly sessions
So, I’m basically an emotional archeologist. With powerful coaching tools, meaningful conversation, and tell-it-like-it-is insights, we steer the ship toward the heart of the matter in a very short amount of time. After just a few sessions, your clarity, focus and growth will be tangible and rewarding.

"become your best version"
I would highly recommend Nicole’s sessions. She offers an amazing resource both in herself and in this tool to help anyone become the best version of themselves. Nicole is extremely approachable and keenly adept at asking the ‘right’ questions to best discern peoples’ Enneagram profiles and life goals. She is obviously well-versed and wholly equipped to positively impact people within her sphere.

After Working with Nicole, I’m able to give myself grace and have a better understanding of how I react to certain situations. This will allow me to become more self-aware and ensure I am making impactful decisions as the CEO of my business. Nicole knows her stuff. She was able to break down abstract meanings and thoughts I had of the enneagram and my scores, into bite-sized chunks that actually made sense.
Client love
"put YOURSELF as a priority"
I am working to be more patient with myself. I now realize I need time to withdraw to work through things. And that it’s important for me to set boundaries. I am going to work to put myself as a priority. Nicole is very knowledgeable, compassionate and made me feel as though it is okay to be me. She made me feel as though she really understood my personality type and gave me good insights into my own soul. I loved meeting with her and feel strongly that everyone could benefit from learning more deeply about themselves with Nicole.

Let’s be honest.
It’s hard to know who will steer you back to your true north rather than pile on *even more* opinions and advice. Which is why I guarantee you’ll see real transformation in the way you think, feel and act after just a few sessions.
As a lifelong educator, I’ve learned what materials will help you create a masterpiece that truly reflects you.
This ain’t no one-size-fits-all leadership coaching…
we’re going for something much more vibrant.

But How Do I Know
If Coaching Is Right For Me?
We all need feedback, encouragement and support.
But coaching takes it to the next level. If you:
- are smart, secure, and eager to learn
- enjoy systems that untangle problems
- want to care for others without burnout
- prefer to make decisions you won’t regret
- are tired of the old way of doing things
- are ready to step into your purpose
It’s time to reconnect with that vision that brings you to life.

Frequently Asked Questions
I don’t need therapy. How is this different?
Therapists and coaches have very different training. Therapy is a practice of understanding the past and its influence on present behaviors and thought patterns. Coaching assumes the clients present state is a perfect launching point for creating future goals, intentions and fulfillment. Personal reflection is simply a tool used to change patterns, set goals and move through regular obstacles.
Is there structure to the sessions? What are the measurable outcomes?
In addition to setting goals, exploring tools like the Enneagram and our Core Values, clients build a personal vision statement that guides their trajectory. Regular observation and discussion uncovers obstacles, patterns and desires, which become the springboard for professional growth. Measurable outcomes involve mental clarity, emotional stability, increased sense of purpose and a clear vision for the future.
My career is thriving. How would coaching benefit me?
No matter how fulfilled we are, we all benefit from an encouraging voice who will ask the right questions at the right time. Coaching helps us discover our blindspots, change limiting habits, and move toward our purpose with fresh vision. This kind of support prepares us to live, love and work with hope and intentionality.
Can this help with hiring?
Yes. As outlined in the 5 essential qualities of effective leadership, good leaders use intuition, humility, empathy and encouragement to lead happy healthy lives and teams. The more tools you have to understand yourself and the culture you’re creating, the wiser interpersonal decisions you’ll be equipped to make.
I don’t have a team or formal leadership role? Can I still work with you?
Yes and yes! About half my clients are solopreneurs, parents, or people who simply want tools to grow, understand themselves, and feel supported. Whether you need help managing transition, stress, relationships, a specific season of life, or any opportunity to change and grow, coaching provides the tools to observe what’s going on, reflect on what matters, and make a concrete plan moving forward. The tools we use bring clarity, lightness and a sense of purpose to all relationships and major life decisions.
I’ve taken all the personality trainings. How will another one help?
If you think personality tests are a waste of time… or that people are too complicated to be labeled, working 1:1 with an enneagram coach could open doors you didn’t know existed. Identifying the foundational motivations and behavior patterns you (and anyone you’re close to) deal with each day is precisely insight you need to make empowered choices that align with the best version of yourself.
