Is the Key to Transforming the Communication, Culture, and Performance of Your Executive Leadership Team

I’m Nicole

Or as my clients and team like to call me: Chief Bravery Officer + Tough Talk Expert!

I’m on a mission to help executive leaders in Fortune 500 companies use bravery as a competitive advantage to create highly aligned and high performing teams in increasingly turbulent workplaces.

is important because

Only 18% of leaders feel confident about their ability to lead their organizations into the future (Source: DDI Leadership Development Report).

54% of leaders delay making critical decisions due to fear of failure, resulting in missed opportunities and organizational stagnation. (Source: McKinsey & Company)

Organizations with courageous leaders report a 33% increase in profitability, driven by stronger employee alignment and innovation. (Source: Deloitte)

70% of employees feel safer to express ideas and concerns under leaders who display bravery in owning mistakes and addressing tough issues. (Source: Google Project Aristotle)

When leaders lack bravery

They also lack confidence

The reality is - only 18% of leaders feel confident in their ability to guide their organizations through the challenges of the future.

When leaders lack confidence:

  • They don’t take action or risks

  • They suffer from decision paralysis

  • Their team members disengage

  • Organization and team trust erodes

  • Overall morale and culture plummet

  • Employee turnover rates skyrocket

  • Productivity and ultimately profits suffer

So - what’s a leader to do? 🤷‍♀️

Without the skill, it can feel impossible to take action

Confidence is a direct outcome of bravery.

If your leadership team is lacking confidence, it’s not because they’re incapable—it’s because they haven’t fully embraced the mindset of bravery that creates confident action.

When you cultivate bravery in your leadership culture, you equip your leaders to:

  • Face challenges head-on

  • Communicate with clarity

  • Inspire their teams to perform at the highest level.

And when that happens, your organization thrives.

Through my proven proprietary leadership development frameworks Small Brave Moves® and Five Tough Talks® - I help Fortune 500 Executive Leaders make the brave moves and have the tough talks that transform their team culture, communication, and performance
