Fall Rest & Reset Leadership retreat for women

Nicole does an outstanding job of giving people space to speak, to work through their feelings and their understanding of the subject while still keeping things on schedule and keeping the flow going!

I loved the retreat and the way it allowed people to see leadership concepts through a different lens.

I thought it was one of the most effective leadership exercises I've been a part of and will absolutely use the techniques and concepts taught, in the way I lead moving forward.

I am a better leader because of this time with Nicole.

Carrie Hunter
CEO, Founder at It's Not That Serious

The Lead with Bliss retreat is designed to meet you where you are, engage your story, and offer awareness and guidance that leaves a lasting impact.

I had several "a ha" moments during the retreat, recognizing when I'm above and below the line as an executive leader.

Nicole creates a space where women support one another through encouragement, reflection, and growth.

I walked away excited to bring my learnings into my team dynamic, with greater awareness of how to navigate the next steps in my growth journey as a leader.

I came to the retreat running on urgency and left with a felt sense of what actually matters in how I lead.

Nicole holds a rare container where real reflection becomes possible, and the women she brings together make that reflection feel both safe and expansive.

I wish it were a clubhouse I could head to any weekend.

Kate Herbert
Executive Strategist and Leadership Coach at Kate Herbert Executive Coaching

Nicole has a sixth sense… she often knows what you need before you do and guides you there in a way that still keeps you in the driver’s seat. That’s been true for me both in our coaching work and at this retreat.

I felt spoiled rotten: the environment, the intentional activities, the food, Nicole’s warmth. She sees potential and strength in you that you sometimes can’t yet see in yourself.

The retreat was a pivotal experience. The biggest impact came unexpectedly—gaining confidence in learning, being vulnerable, and building relationships alongside a group of senior women. I walked away knowing more about myself and more confident in how I show up.

Becca Rosencrans
Director, Brand Creative Strategy at hims & hers

Nicole’s calm, grounded presence and skillful facilitation created the kind of pause I didn’t know how to give myself.

The retreat struck a thoughtful balance between structure and openness, allowing time to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with my inner voice.

One of the most powerful parts was being in genuine connection with other women navigating similar paths.

I left feeling anchored, clear, and more intentional about how I want to move through both work and life.

Veronica O’Quinn
Chief Client Officer at Lenora Health

Nicole has a subtle yet powerful way of asking questions that draw personal insight, professional clarity, and deep motivation and momentum.

Reflecting on my year-long coaching experience with her and this two-day retreat, both share one common theme - I am transformed in intrinsic, lasting ways, and I am grateful.

Thanks to the presence, awareness, and reflection Nicole has brought to my work, I am now feeling my feelings in productive ways, taking my 100% responsibility, and making commitments from an aligned place.

Kyle Engelman
Executive Director at Grounds for Health

With Nicole’s guidance, I learned to listen to my real desires, make aligned decisions, and step fully into what I wanted next.

From launching my own business to embracing creativity and personal freedom, her coaching helped unlock clarity and confidence in ways I never expected.

That shift changed my perspective, and my life.

Nicole is a masterful coach—deeply present, insightful, and able to ask the questions that matter, right when you’re ready to hear them.

Her energy is positively infectious and she makes you want to be more than you already are.

Karen Rubin

Nicole is an excellent facilitator, coach, and teacher.

I feel like she has a very wholistic practice for her clients.

She is able to hold her space and graciously gives the floor as well.

I am in awe of her and the way she guides people.

Ellen Grantham
Chief Financial Officer at TruTechnologies

In a world where there are lots of people who promote themselves as leadership coaches, Nicole is the REAL deal.

I found Nicole to be incredibly helpful in helping me to find clarity in what I wanted to do next, in identifying some blind spots that I never realized and in providing an incredibly helpful framework for thinking through decision making and how I want to show up in a way that's authentic to me.

I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you are feeling stuck or a little lost. Nicole is an incredible "light."

Stephanie Evans Greene
SVP Marketing & Brand at JetBlue

I fully recommend Nicole Bliss for leadership coaching, both individual and team-based.

Our time together enabled me to hone in on a specific area that I wanted to improve.

In a relatively short amount of time, I witnessed a positive change in my mindset and how I viewed and responded to the situation.

I have since applied Nicole's coaching to other areas in my life, both professional and personal.

Working with Nicole helped me to feel empowered. I am grateful for her partnership and guidance.

Monique Kelley
CEO & Founder at Monique Kelley Consulting, LLC

From the moment I met Nicole, her joie de vivre was palpable - an absolute breath of fresh air. 

Nicole's energy makes you feel comfortable immediately, making it easy to have an open and honest conversation. 

I was also willing to go outside my comfort zone with some of the exercises because of Nicole's nurturing approach. 

She asks all the right questions, guiding you toward self-discovery and breaking down barriers along the way. 

I highly recommend working with Nicole!”

Charlotte Beard
Chief Financial Officer at Wing

“Nicole is an exceptional coach who helped me uncover deep insights about myself that fundamentally altered what I perceived to be things I needed in my life to feel more satisfied, resilient, joyful, and empathetic.

I arrived at commitments that I didn't even know I needed to have in my life and leadership, and it is already proving life-changing for me to have these new mental models and habits.

You can feel how much she deeply cares about her clients and their self-actualization, and combines a blend of infectious encouragement with perceptive reflection to enable clients to process who they are and how they respond to the world around them.”

Ming Min Hui
Executive Director at Boston Ballet

I found Nicole at a time of profound personal and professional transition, and I’m endlessly grateful that I did.

She offered a grounded, compassionate space for me to do the deep inner work I needed and supported me through several important decisions along the way.

With Nicole’s guidance, I gained practical tools I still use every day but more importantly, I reconnected with myself in a way that’s changed how I lead.

She truly embodies the essence of bliss.

10/10 would recommend Nicole to anyone who is looking for their next leadership coach.

She has the rare ability to provide professional coaching while still maintaining guiding through the human experience.

I worked with Nicole for about a year through coaching provided by my company. She helped me develop many soft skills and help me navigate through my own personal leadership journey.

Keep her in mind if you are looking for your next coach to elevate your leadership skills.

Erika Longoria
VP, Strategic Partnerships & Business Development at Teads

Working with Nicole has been one of the most valuable parts of my year in transition. I’ve gotten so much out of our coaching, and I truly value how she shows up calm, wise, and willing to meet me exactly where I am.

She creates space to slow down, reflect, and build conscious awareness so I can be at choice in how I respond to any context or situation. Her grounding in conscious leadership has been a gift. She shines a light on places where I may have been unconscious and helps me step back into integrity and choice.

It has changed the way I lead.

Kate Herbert
Executive Strategist and Leadership Coach at Kate Herbert Executive Coaching

Working with Nicole was transformational. Her approach to conscious leadership is both practical and profound, helping leaders gain new perspective and translate insight into meaningful action.

Nicole blends warmth, intuition, and strategic thinking with ease. She supported me through executive communication challenges, complex interpersonal dynamics, and refining how I prioritize and plan.

She has a gift for asking the right questions at the right time and creates space for real breakthroughs. If you’re looking for a coach who will challenge you with compassion and help you lead more consciously, I highly recommend Nicole.

Denise Parsonage
Director, Global Benefits Strategy at Gitlab

I loved my time working with Nicole!

She encouraged me to take a good look at my values, identify clear goals I wanted to work on and think about what behaviors were above/below the line (IYKYK!) and whether I’m playing the victim/villain/hero role - so interesting and practical too.

Nicole is a pleasure to work with and really puts you at ease.

I would highly recommend working with her for both professional and personal elements you’re looking to improve!
