My experience working with Nicole has been transformative — both personally and professionally. She is a precise and perceptive observer, and she brings a quality of presence to the work that makes the entire team feel genuinely seen. I leave every session with greater clarity, deeper confidence, and a renewed sense of what is possible. That consistency, over time, is what distinguishes this work from anything else I have encountered.

Meraki truly lives up to its name. When I began working with Nicole, I brought a range of challenges — time management, efficiency, and a persistent feeling of being stuck that comes with running a business that touches every part of your life. What shifted was not just my approach to work, but my relationship with it entirely. Our team morale has soared. The daily overwhelm has lifted. I am more organized, more present, and — perhaps most remarkably — I now have the freedom to step away and enjoy my life without the weight of everything I left behind. That once seemed impossible.

I have had the pleasure of working with Nicole across multiple organizations — a non-profit, a corporate team, and a C-suite environment — each at a different stage and with distinctly different needs. In every engagement, she brought the same quality of precision: behavioral assessment data translated into operational clarity, applied in ways that immediately changed how leaders understood their teams and made decisions. What is rewarding about Nicole's approach is that the insights are not theoretical — they are immediately actionable. Far more than the value of any methodology, Nicole's expertise, generosity, patience, and compassionate nature have been instrumental in helping our teams understand themselves and one another. People management has never been more challenging, and I am grateful to have Meraki as a partner in navigating it with both skill and integrity.

The depth of Nicole's commitment is unmeasurable. I met her for the first time in a parking lot, unloading supplies for young people searching for guidance. Her generosity did not stop there. Two years later she was pouring into our organization with her wisdom — using behavioral assessment to build a foundation that took our non-profit to stages a new and small organization can only dream of. We doubled our reach serving vulnerable youth in our community this year. Meraki Consulting is walking beside our team, and we are deeply grateful — as is our community, and every young person we serve.

“I have gone into a coaching session completely broken and in tears. Everything seemed to be going wrong in my life and work was a nightmare. Nicole listened to everything I said and even brought things to my attention that I had never really thought about. By the end of our session, I was laughing and had a game plan for tackling issues at work and home.”

"Nicole is undaunted in her approach to breaking down the barriers of limiting beliefs. Thanks to her I have a new appreciation for my strengths and talents and the desire to grow even more than I have already.”
