Your child may be brilliant. BUT, if they don't know how to win a room, persuade others, or be memorable through communication, they will never reach their full potential in life.

I've decided to launch my workshop series to teenagers first. Through no fault of their own, kids have grown up on technology and therefore have lost valuable interpersonal communication skills. As a parent, we all understand the power of the first impression. I don't want students to struggle with confidence or finding their voice to advocate for themselves and others.

So I'm making it my mission to help.

Here's what others are saying ...

Madeline Simmerman

As salutatorian of Briarwood Christian High, I was tasked with giving the commencement speech. Nicole worked with me for several months to help me craft a powerful, yet touching speech. We worked on tone, delivery, pacing, and overall strategy when speaking to a crowd. Nicole has a gift of critiquing every detail in a precise and kind manner. I am now in medical school at Tulane.

The way Nicole prepared me in high school, allowed me to excel during my medical school interviews and increased my confidence overall when in group settings through college. The training even prepared me speak more eloquently at church! Becoming memorable with your words is certainly a learned skill, and I will forever put Nicole’s lessons to use in my personal & professional relationships.

Nicole helped me prepare for my Top 20 Miss Homecoming interview at Auburn University, and in just one hour, I left feeling more confident, polished, and prepared than I ever expected. She taught me how to incorporate storytelling into my answers, stay grounded in vulnerability, and bring my authentic self into every response.

What I appreciated most was how she made me feel seen and heard—she didn’t just coach me; she believed in me. I’ll absolutely be working with her again for my Top 5 interview!

Benjamin Hall

Nicole was so helpful to my son in preparing for the interview process following completion of his master's degree. She prepped him with what to expect and how to best express his strongest qualities.

She also connected him to individuals in his field for advice and encouragement.

All of this combined was such a boost for his confidence as the interview process can be quite daunting at times. We are so thankful for her taking the time to help better prepare him.

My daughter was applying to medical school and had her interviews coming up but because of Covid they were not in person and were on Zoom. I knew Nicole could help her project herself well on video. However after a few sessions it was very clear that Halle didn’t just get camera ready, but got real guidance on public speaking in any situation. Halle was always smart and articulate, but this sort of training added an extra layer of confidence with key pointers from

Nicole to set her apart from the rest.

She got into several medical schools now uses the techniques she learned when she is presenting a case among her peers, answering rapid fire questions from attending physicians or speaking at a conference, and even interacting alongside patients. Every cent was worth it as Halle has taken what Nicole taught her into life!

What participants will learn:

Public Speaking — Gain confidence, discover storytelling tactics, and learn how to engage any audience.
Active Listening — Understand others better and respond thoughtfully.
Conflict Resolution — Navigate disagreements calmly and effectively.
Finding Your Voice — Discover and express your authentic self.
Navigating Social Media — Using social media responsibly and understanding the footprint it creates.
