"There's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." penned Leonard Cohen. When keynote speaking for your event, I'll find those brilliant cracks of light that will keep your audience engaged, intrigued, and ready for 'what's next'. Using my unique combination of knowledge and practice combined with compelling, personal storytelling, I'll do much more than just teach your audience, I'll take them on a journey through new perspectives and experiences that will empower them to look beyond what they see. If you are interested in creating 'moments' for your audience, ready to bring the 'aha's', and even smiles and laughter (because we can - and SHOULD - have joy even when talking about the hard things), I'm the speaker you should be connected to. Whether your group is 50, 500, or 5000, I'm happy to take the stage and provide you with a one-of-a-kind, memorable experience that will leave your audience chatting about your event for weeks and months to come.
"Nichole was wonderful! She approached sensitive topics with grace and discretion, avoiding trauma dumping and cold, detached objectivity, and instead sharing a grace-filled outlook filled with both vulnerability and hope that was accessible to and resonated with a broad audience."

Are you ready for the journey?
It didn’t happen overnight. For several years after escaping my violent marriage, I was angry, exhausted, and stuck keeping a secret I felt would out me as a failure. I was surrounded by toxic positivity, no real guidance to learn from my experience, and a push to minimize my trauma by anyone who happened to learn the 'real' story. Eventually, I got caught in a resiliency circle, falling down and getting up over and over without moving forward. I had internalized a narrative that the mere fact of my survival was all I could ever hope for – and all I ever deserved. I didn't understand what I had to offer, or the wisdom that was buried inside my shameful secret.
That is until I discovered post-traumatic growth and learned that I didn’t need to settle for survival. I learned to retell my story without shame and how to cast myself as the hero, not the victim. I uncovered important lessons about myself and my own strengths and eventually used them to transform my life, the lives of others, and the organizations I came to lead. Seeing the power in that transformation not just for myself, but for the people I loved, served, and worked for inspired me to create the 'Radically Well' framework - a tool and approach I share that helps my audiences pro-actively plan for navigating the next personal or professional storm, and empowers them to unlock their own inner wisdom, leveraging hard experiences for unprecedented growth. These tools have helped helped me and countless others understand how to cultivate resilience, growth, and empowerment even during the most difficult of times. Now I'm here to teach your audience how to do it, too.
"A captivating presenter, Nichole engages and inspires her audiences to not only accept themselves, but offers a powerful message on coming through the other side."
