    • Establish when and where feedback should be expected

    • Demonstrate how feedback should be given

    • Model how feedback should be received

    • How to gain the confidence and competence to have productive conversations when you address a situation, discuss a touchy topic, give feedback, or confront a pattern.

    • How to gain the confidence and competence to lead through our emotions rather than being led by them.

    • Three critical frameworks to help you understand and manage your emotions in a way that will help you lead yourself, lead others, and make decisions more effectively.

Book Nicole To Facilitate a Workshop

Over the years, Nicole has developed a range of her own workshops and is a certified facilitator of both The Six Types of Working Genius and the Enneagram.

  • One of Nicole’s most sought after workshops, adapted from her book, Leadership Frameworks.

    Effective communication is the backbone of any successful team, yet misunderstandings and miscommunications can often stand in the way of collaboration and productivity.

    In this workshop, your team will:

    • Take in-depth assessments to identify their primary and secondary styles for two critical forms of communication: Their tone and posture, and their content preference (i.e. how they like to give and receive information).

    • Improve Collaboration. With insights into how each person processes and responds to information, your team will work together more effectively—whether in meetings, brainstorming sessions, or project execution.

    • Strengthen Relationships. By recognizing and respecting individual differences, your team will foster an environment of trust and empathy, creating a more positive work culture.

    Empower your team to communicate better, collaborate smarter, and achieve more together!

  • Wish you had a tool to help you leverage your team’s strengths and maximize not only their productivity but also the amount of fulfillment they experience in their roles?

    The Working Genius is that tool. This model is 20% personality assessment and 80% productivity tool. Its simplicity and focus on the workplace sets it apart. It’s truly a game changer for teams. Nicole is a Working Genius Certified Facilitator of Patrick Lencioni’s teamwork model, The Six Types of Working Genius.

    In this half-day interactive workshop, Nicole will help you:

    • Understand why your team has been successful or unsuccessful in the past.

    • Clarify which types of work give joy and energy to each of your team members and which types are draining and difficult.

    • Improve dialogue and direction in team meetings.

    • Get more done in less time.

  • What if you could attend a One-day workshop that focused on the most vital leadership skills? What if that workshop gave you the tools to accelerate your potential in each area with hands-on, immediate application? We have you covered.

    In this interactive workshop, Nicole digs into FOUR fundamental leadership areas that will enhance your’s and your team’s ability to lead and to collaborate more effectively.

    With this workshop, you get a jam-packed leadership experience filled with practical knowledge, as well as engaging and meaningful moments. And you don’t have to worry about crafting the content or delivery.

    The Workshop Agenda:

    • 8:30-9:00 am — Welcome & Introduction

    • 9:00-10:15 am — Your Emotional Intelligence

    • 10:30-11:45 am — Your Team Collaboration

    • 12:00-1:30 pm — Lunch** 

    • 1:45-2:45 pm — Your Feedback Skills

    • 3:00-4:00 pm — Your Conflict Resolution Skills

    *Note: Lunch applies to the in-person format only. For our online format, we take the one-day agenda and break it up into two-days. Why on earth would we do that if it’s a one-day workshop?! Because eight hours on Zoom is unkind. If the online format is ideal for your team, you’ll block out four hours each day.  

  • Our well-crafted and well-intentioned plans and processes will never succeed if we don’t have healthy workplace or team cultures to back them up. We have to start with getting people in sync.

    Toxicity and misalignment are culture killers. And while leaders may be aware of these issues, they are often lacking the time and emotional capacity to assess where the issues are and to come up with a plan to rehabilitate their culture, all while keeping the organization running.

    With Nicole’s Team Culture ICU Workshop, she comes alongside leaders and teams to conduct a comprehensive assessment to discover where toxicity and misalignment exist on a team. Afterward, Nicole evaluates the results and creates a plan for restoring a healthy and thriving culture. She also provides guidance and coaching to the team leader on best practices for implementation and flourishing.

  • Teams are made up of individuals with distinct strengths, viewpoints, and approaches to work. When these differences aren't fully understood, it can lead to communication breakdowns, misunderstandings, and missed opportunities. This is where the Leveraging Enneagram Types in Teams workshop comes in!

    In this workshop, teams will explore the nine Enneagram types to gain a deeper understanding of each type’s core motivations, how they handle stress and thrive in strength, and how to better connect and collaborate with each type.

    With this knowledge, teams can strengthen their relationships, improve collaboration, and harness their collective strengths to achieve exceptional outcomes.

For all speaking requests, please fill out the form. Nicole will be in touch within 24 hours.

  • As someone who tends to shy away from conflict, this session was such a practical way on how to tackle conflict. I’ve been leading teams for years and have been looking for something like this since day one.
