With decades of leadership, high performance workshops, keynote speaking, and most importantly, real-life, in-the-trenches business experience, Nicole’s view is drastically different. She understands that if leadership is anything at all, it is personal. She fundamentally believes that anyone who wants to be a leader can be one and be darn good at it.

 

Understand your leadership style,
build team engagement and more!

“It all matters. How we live matters. Do we choose love or do we choose hate? Do we help or do we harm? Because there is no way to know the exact second your life changes forever. You can only begin to know that moment by looking in the rearview mirror.” Anthony Ray Hinton, The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row If an innocent man on death row can #seethesun we certainly can. #keepfighting #youmatter #chooselove #wehaveworktodo #smallbusiness #helpme #helpingothers
Information. Data. Facts...things I’ve been trained to be right about. Right? Correct? Accurate even? What does that mean if in your rightness nothing new happens? What good is being correct if it results in an outcome you do NOT want? The challenge before us is to choose to be correct AND effective. It is to choose to be right AND happy. What is the goal of the problem solver? To solve the problem. What is the goal of the social justice warrior? To level the scales of justice. Too often we argue to be right when we desire to be happy. “What you can count on is that as I work to be right and happy, I will bravely bust up all attempts to be happy about wrongness.” - Nicole Price #eji #truejustice #happinessisachoice #optimistic #ignoranceisbliss #paradox
Solve a problem? There’s a new challenge just beyond the bend. As we journey together to make the world a better place, take a moment to capture where we are. Without documenting the starting point and the process, three things happen; 1. We repeat the same mistakes, 2. We lose focus,and/ or 3. It starts to look like we’ve made no progress at all. There is no arriving. Capture the journey! #purpose #progress #focus #dontmakethesamemistaketwice #immigrationreform #daca #dreamers #closethecamps #pathtocitizenship
Empathy and compassion looks different depending on your leadership style. Regardless, a mindset of care and concern makes the difference between effective leadership and leadership by appointment. It’s astonishing that we appoint people to leadership roles without leadership training. It is even more astonishing that people will take the assignment without the heart muscle to match. Your leadership role is important. If you did not receive formal training, educate yourself. #caretolead #leadership #leadershipquotes #developyourself
You can do it. Now, think you can. It is not competence. It is confidence that gets in our way. Every human on the planet has weaknesses, shortcomings, and imperfections. People want us to have all their strengths and none of their weaknesses. Said differently, people want us to show up with all of our strengths and their strengths, too. These expectations can ruin your confidence if you aren’t careful. Are you planful? Usually means you aren’t flexible. Are you comfortable with the unknown? Usually means you also take risks that are miscalculated? Are you courageous? Usually means you will hurt people’s feelings, too. Do you have lots of friends? If so, perhaps your intimate relationships suffer. The list is long but whatever the strength, it is likely to be overused at some point. Don’t deny it. That will wreak havoc on your confidence. #ownit #practice #selfawareness #keepworkinghard and you will get better but keep your #confidence high so you can continue with your #purpose
We each have privilege. It is not enough to look at the majority groups to which you do NOT belong and demand #equity. We each have to examine and reduce our negative impact when we ARE in #power...when we DO have #privilege...when we CAN check our own oppressive actions. Are you a citizen? How do you engage with immigrants - documented or undocumented? Do you have shelter? How do you treat people experiencing homelessness? Do you have degree? How do you respond when you learn someone has little to no formal education? Is your gender clear to you and do you identify as male or female? How do you protect people who are gender non conforming? Are you an adult? How do you treat the children? Take the barriers off. Stop oppressing others with your discriminating behavior. When you can, be willing to be in the #lidremovalbusiness.
