I don’t take the mic to perform. I take it to shift the room.
WHY BOOK ME TO SPEAK?
Because too many people are playing small in rooms they were born to lead.
Because your team doesn’t need more fluff, they need someone who will say the thing everyone else is afraid to say.
Because your audience deserves more than motivational quotes and a curated story. They need truth, tools, and momentum.
I speak to spark action. Boldly. Unapologetically. Strategically.
Whether it’s your conference, corporate retreat, team offsite, ERG event, or women’s leadership summit, if you want your audience walking out differently than they walked in, that’s where I come in.
“Nicole has a gift for helping women see the value they bring to the table and equipping them with practical tools to communicate that value effectively. Her approach was warm, affirming, and deeply insightful. I left feeling more confident in who I am, clearer about my brand identity, and better prepared to share my work with the world in a way that supports both my mission and my business growth.”
SIGNATURE TALKS
Confidence Without the Asterisk
We’ve been taught that confidence should be polite, quiet, and humble, but that version comes with a thousand disclaimers. This talk breaks the unspoken rules women follow to be liked, palatable, and promotable and replaces them with real tools to reclaim your voice, presence, and power.
Being Liked Is a Scam
From social media likes to boardroom politics, we’ve confused approval with impact. In this no-fluff session, I unpack how chasing likability keeps us stuck and how choosing respect, visibility, and authenticity changes everything.
The Confidence Chronicles: What Samantha Jones Taught Us About Power
A pop-culture-powered keynote inspired by Sex and the City and how Samantha embodied boundaries, confidence, loyalty, and self-worth. Smart, funny, and fiercely empowering.
IMPACT AND KEY TAKEAWAYS
Your audience will walk away with:
Tactical tools to rebuild real confidence (not performance confidence)
Visibility strategies that don’t feel fake, forced, or exhausting
A reframe of their worth, voice, and value
Permission to stop shrinking and the confidence to start leading
Language they can use right now to advocate for themselves and others
WHO I SPEAK FOR
Women who are done shrinking but don’t know where to start
Corporate teams navigating leadership, burnout, visibility, or internal bias
ERGs & Women’s Leadership groups seeking bold, honest, engaging speakers
Mixed-gender spaces where confidence and equity are on the agenda
Yes, I speak with women in mind, but men, you’re invited too. If you lead people, want to grow, or just know something’s got to change, you’re in the right room.
