PhD, Executive Coach
Brief info

With over 18 years of experience coaching managers and executives, Nicole has worked in a variety of industries, with deep expertise in technology, healthcare, financial services, nonprofit, and energy sectors. While Nicole coaches leaders at all levels, many clients are newly transitioned executives, wanting to make business impact quickly or high potential individuals looking to move into the executive ranks of their current organizations, thus coaching engagements often focus on the behavioral changes needed to obtain and effectively transition into these high profile roles. In addition to coaching, her professional expertise is in succession management and planning, assessment, talent management, and leadership development. Nicole emphasizes partnership, goal setting, and reflection in order to produce the greatest impact. Quick to build trust and identify what the key success factors are for a particular client, she uses a pragmatic, real-world approach to coaching, which enables her clients to find the greatest levers that will have the most profound impact on improving performance. Regardless of whether the topic is related to leadership effectiveness, communication style, improving relationships, prioritization, or having greater impact, specific tangible results can be reached through a strong partnership, motivation, and willingness to think and behave differently.
