Born and raised in Los Angeles, my career began in my own neighborhood, the Black community of Leimert Park, working at my father’s law/real estate practice for many years. On this foundation, and with the support of masterful teachers and mentors (mostly women of color), I have navigated work experiences and risen in leadership and executive roles. I know what it takes to build a strong and fulfilling career.
I have been there.
NICOLE is passionate about partnering with her clients to bring about transformation.
With over 20 years of experience, I have coached hundreds of individuals, leaders, teams, and organization to become more skillful and effective in articulating aspirations, finding alignment with their values, and creating greater impact.
​
With insights, challenge and support, I connect and build authentic relationships that foster growth, practical learning, and action. My approach is a balance of directness, openness, focus, and warmth, while staying in-sync with my clients and their goals.
I've served in leadership and coaching roles as a consultant, director, and executive in multiple industries and sectors.
​
My regular meditation and yoga practice is grounding and integrated with my calling to be a coach. I am a native and still resident of Los Angeles, where I live with my husband and two adult sons.
