Nicolle believes that leadership is less about having all the answers and more about having the courage to ask better questions—of ourselves, our teams, and our organizations. Great leadership begins with the courage to know yourself. As an Executive Coach and Organizational Effectiveness Consultant, she partners with leaders to navigate complexity, strengthen relationships, resolve conflict, and build healthy, high-performing organizations where both people and results thrive. Her work sits at the intersection of leadership development, conflict transformation, and organizational effectiveness, helping leaders create cultures rooted in trust, accountability, and meaningful collaboration.

Drawing from more than 30 years of leadership experience across the military, legal, and organizational development sectors, Nicolle brings a rare combination of strategic insight, emotional intelligence, and practical experience to her work. She has coached senior leaders, facilitated executive and leadership teams, and guided organizations through challenges involving culture, communication, organizational change, and conflict. Known for asking thoughtful questions and creating an environment where honesty and accountability can co-exist, Nicolle helps leaders uncover the patterns that shape their leadership and expand their capacity to lead with authenticity and intention.

Before joining Learning as Leadership, Nicolle served honorably in the United States Army, where she spent more than 20 years developing leaders, leading organizational initiatives, and strengthening team effectiveness across diverse organizations. Earlier in her career, she served as an attorney-investigator for the State of Oklahoma and as an advisor to first-generation college students. Those experiences reinforced her belief that every person deserves to be heard, challenged, and empowered to realize their potential.

Nicolle holds a Juris Doctor from Wake Forest University and a Bachelor of Arts in History from Oklahoma State University. She is a registered mediator in Georgia and Texas, an Executive Coach, and a certified Organizational Development Practitioner. Whether coaching an executive, facilitating a leadership team, or supporting organizational transformation, she believes that conflict—approached with curiosity, courage, and humility—is one of the greatest catalysts for individual and organizational growth.

Nicolle lives in Austin, Texas. She is energized by meaningful conversations, lifelong learning, and time spent with family and friends. If she had a superpower, it would be bringing people together—helping them see one another more clearly, build genuine connection, and accomplish more together than they ever thought possible.
