Who I Work With
Who I Work With
My most successful client is employed in and around the tech industry. She is done accepting the status quo that normalizes highly educated, experienced women being stressed out, passed over, overworked, and underpaid.
She is already questioning the systems of power and is ready to figure out her mid- and long-term career goals. She isn’t following outdated best practices anymore; she is bravely designing her own pathway forward.
She chooses the temporary discomfort of growth over the agony of long-term dissatisfaction and considers herself ambitious, intelligent, and brave-curious. Most of my clients have over 10 years of experience, have experienced career setbacks and failures, and is ready to partner with a trusted coach for deep personal transformation and sustainable career satisfaction.

Coaching with me is for you when:
- You want to grow your career in your unique way and are committed to designing your unique and longer-term growth instead of expecting standardized, quick fixes
- You have foundational career skills and are ready to build upon them with more advanced frameworks, best practices, as well as design your own bespoke approaches
- You are ready to be done stressing yourself out, overthinking, and running multiple scenarios in your mind before taking action, and are ready to feel more at ease
- You are currently working more than you want and want to figure out how to find your own balanced approach to life and work
- You know or believe you are underpaid and aim to increase your income without burning (or boring!) yourself out
- You have at least three years of professional experience and are now ready for your next level of growth
Who I Work With
Nisha Shrestha
I learned how to trust myself to know that I am good enough and that who I am is my biggest strength. I believe in myself, fully. This is my starting place and I know my career will make an improvement in the world.
Caroline Santinelli
Your coaching gave me the perspective on my life that I lacked and desperately needed. My view of my personal world and professional world was myopic. Working with you helped to remind me that the lenses I had were not the only way to see my career—or my life!
Sac-Nicte Yescas
Working with Nicole was fun and enriching, on professional and personal levels. She helped me do a full assessment of my career. Then helped me tap into my full potential.
Chelsea Olson
I didn’t know if I was strong enough or brave enough or courageous enough to keep going. I didn’t know if it was worth it anymore. I’m glad that I’ve been working with you and I’ve stuck with it. I set out with a goal for five years and I achieved it in 18 months.
Susanne Mueller
Coaching helped me liberate myself from what others think about me and focus on what I think and what I believe about me. When I decided to be accountable to me, changing my entire life became so much easier.
Nicole Vafadari
When I started working with Nicole, I already believed in myself. I surprised us both when I decided to change my coaching goal while we were working together. Nicole helps you answer your own big questions so that you can make bold, unexpected decisions.
Erin O’Leary
I don’t know how I would have gotten through the last six months of growth and working less without you. I am now curating my career and personal life, putting myself as the priority.
Jackie Podoll
Coaching really helped me calm my nerves and stop second-guessing. I could embrace the authenticity of who I am and what I want.
Now I know I can still be professional while being authentic and confident, without worrying that one is taking away from the other.
Ashley Willumitis
The conversation with Nicole actually is the thing that helped me to realize that I needed to quit my job.
I did my consult with you Nicole and a few other coaches. And I’ve always joked with my friends that you cracked me like an egg.
