Testimonials

Working with Nicole has been one of the best investments I’ve made in my own leadership and personal growth. I began our coaching at a time of significant professional change, seeking both clarity and confidence in what was next. What I discovered was so much more, a deeper understanding of my own strengths, innate potential, and purpose as a woman in leadership, a mother, and a whole self. Through her use of the Positive Intelligence framework and her thoughtful, empowering approach, I learned how to quiet inner saboteurs and lead from a place of open-heartedness and grounded energy. I feel truly grateful to have gone through this journey with Nicole, her coaching was exactly what I needed to step into my next chapter with courage and joy...knowing she will always be cheering me on!

Nicole Johnston is a leadership coach who listens attentively and provides actionable advice. Her insights are spot-on and come with questions that encourage you to challenge your personal assumptions and ask, “Why?” as well as “Why not?” She’s a trusted advisor and has helped me to move through situations where I felt stuck. I’d enlist her assistance at any point, but particularly when I have a tough situation where I’m hesitant to make a decision. She helps to provide clarity and confidence.

~Amy

Nicole's talk on Taboo Topics was insightful, engaging, and truly empowering. She created a safe, welcoming space to explore sensitive subjects and provided clear, compassionate, and practical guidance on how to approach them. Truly inspiring!

~Jordan

Nicole Johnston helped me helped facilitate mindset shifts about how I need to think about managing my career, and how the “smallish” details we often overlook can actually have the biggest impact on our trajectory. This mindset shift is the essential first step to reaching the next leveling my career.
