Nicole Nelson is the ultimate coach’s coach! First, she is highly competent at building relationships and getting results. She leads the way with a growth mindset, exuding a welcoming, thoughtful, inclusive, and confident manner. Secondly, she comes from a place of passion when developing your leadership skillset. Nicole is a great listener, and she can considerately (yet directly) address key core competencies as well as the sticky and complex issues too. Lastly – and this is essential – she believes both in the work she’s doing and in YOU! Her deep, sincere commitment and enthusiasm to helping others ‘level up’ and to ensure they get results is unparalleled!
