the work I do
My mission
I work with founders, executives, and leadership teams who are ready to lead with more clarity, presence, and courage so their impact matches their ambition.
What often looks like a performance issue, communication challenge, or leadership struggle is rarely just about strategy.
For close to a decade, I built my career leading teams in the fast paced world of digital marketing and tech, eventually serving as Vice President of Client Strategy at Criteo. I loved building teams, growing people, and helping businesses perform at a high level. Even then, I noticed that some of the work that energized me most was not just driving results. It was helping people think more clearly, navigate pressure, and grow as leaders.
At the same time, I was doing my own work.
As I navigated the pace, pressure, and ambition that often come with leadership, I found myself returning to yoga, mindfulness, and practices that helped me slow down enough to actually listen to what was happening beneath the surface. What started as personal practice began to change how I led, how I communicated, and how I showed up under pressure.
That path eventually led me into Conscious Leadership Group, the Enneagram, somatic work, yoga nidra, and executive coaching.
Today, I bring those worlds together to help founders, executives, and leadership teams lead with more clarity, presence, and courage so their impact matches their ambition.
Outside of my work, you’ll usually find me with my family, on my yoga mat, near the ocean, or creating space for the conversations that matter most.

When we become aware of what is driving us, leadership shifts from habit to presence.
what drives me
The Values Behind My Work
1 curiosity
Curiosity creates space for new perspective. When leaders become willing to question their assumptions, patterns, and stories, real transformation becomes possible.
2 connection
Leadership is relational. The quality of our leadership is shaped by the quality of our connection to ourselves, to others, and to what matters most.
3 love
At the core of courageous leadership is the willingness to lead with humanity. When we move beyond armor and reconnect with what is most true, trust, belonging, and real impact follow.
4 joy
Joy comes from being fully alive, fully present, and aligned with what matters most. When leaders reconnect to that energy, they create impact that feels both powerful and sustainable.
testimonial
HELPED OUR TEAM SURFACE AND DEAL WITH PROBLEMS
“As the founder of a remote company, I knew we could be doing a better job communicating and dealing with issues. Nicole led our team's first coaching experience and it was transformative! From meeting with us beforehand, to working closely with me on the goals and plan for the day, to holding space so everyone felt safe and heard, she went above and beyond. Nicole not only helped us surface and deal with problems, but got the team excited to adopt conscious leadership as a methodology for dealing with issues in the future. Thanks to her, we left the retreat feeling closer than ever. She has a gift.”
