The BRAVE LeadHERship Retreat

You Lead. You Build. You Make Things Happen.

I know you...

You are a woman who does her best to show up with excellence every single day.

You’re in the rooms where decisions are made. You’re trusted. Respected. Looked to for answers.

But when was the last time you gave yourself the same level of energy, clarity, and intention that you give to everyone else?

You’ve worked hard to get here. You’re a respected, high-achieving executive.

Your leadership is trusted. Your influence is undeniable.

You’re always thinking one step ahead.
You carry more than most will ever see.
You give, guide, and deliver results—again and again.

You love what you do. But let’s be honest—there’s a cost to always being “on.”

An Experience That Will Transform Your Leadership

Is a 5-day/4-night experience designed exclusively for C-suite and senior executive women who are ready to lead in a way that doesn’t sacrifice their well-being, fulfillment, or sense of self.

What You’ll Experience

All Inclusive Private Luxury Accommodations + Dining

Enjoy your own private room and bathroom in a stunning luxury property just steps from Siesta Key Beach. All meals and refreshments are thoughtfully curated and included—so you can fully relax, recharge, and focus on you

Daily Executive Expansion Strategy Sessions

Each day features immersive strategy sessions designed to help you think, lead, and execute through a powerful Brave Operating System®. Through guided frameworks, reflection, and discussion, you’ll gain clarity, strengthen your leadership presence, and return with a renewed sense of direction and confidence.

Daily Brave Integration Time

Each day includes intentional time to integrate your insights—through reflection, movement, rest, or play. This is your space to process what’s unfolding, reconnect with yourself, and let the transformation sink in so it lasts long after you return home.

Executive Energy Reset Experiences

Each day includes thoughtfully curated experiences designed to regulate your nervous system, restore your energy, and reconnect you with your most grounded, present self. These immersive moments are equal parts transformational and fun — helping you relax, reset, and reignite your spark so you return to leadership with clarity, vitality, and joy.

Intimate, High-Caliber Connections

Surround yourself with an intimate circle of powerhouse women like you who lead with heart, grit, and purpose. This isn’t surface-level networking — it’s real connection, deep conversations, and the kind of trust that only comes from shared growth. You’ll walk away with new friendships, expanded perspective, and a support system that lasts far beyond the retreat.

The Location

If you know your leadership is already extraordinary—but you also know there’s another way to lead that feels more energizing and sustainable, this retreat is for you.

Hear It From The Women Who Have Attended The Retreat

The Brave LeadHERship Retreat was a game changer. With my 50th birthday on the horizon, becoming an empty nester, and a career I love with no plans to slow down, I had so many questions running through my head and never took the time to think about them. I don’t want the fluff and the filler. I want the real, the deep, and the truth, and that’s exactly what I got. I walked away having done some heavy work on myself, with new philosophies and a brave new mantra. It was the perfect balance of connection and reflection. If you’re a woman who’s been through some stuff and wants to be better, not for anybody else but for yourself, I highly recommend this retreat.

Erin Albers

Vice President of Customer Experience at Heritage Communities

I had a thousand excuses not to go, and only one reason to say yes.

Me.

Thank you, Nicole, for reminding us that servant leadership is about empowerment, not sacrifice. It is not about losing your identity or well-being; rather, it enhances it by lifting others up.

You don’t need to sacrifice yourself to be a servant leader. Instead, by investing in yourself, you create space for growth and success for others.

Amy Birkel

Chief Operating Officer at Heritage Communities

How often do you pause to intentionally invest in yourself?

Admittedly, that hasn’t always come naturally to me. I love spending my time investing in the growth of others – it’s where I find purpose and energy. But I’m learning that taking time to refocus and renew myself actually enables me to give even more to those around me.

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in Nicole’s Brave LeadHERship Retreat with an incredible group of women. Nicole
and her talented team member Jess Bruehl thoughtfully curated an experience that was truly transformational. Down to every single detail.

For the women who sign up for Nicole’s next retreat: you made a great decision to invest yourself!

Pat Kearns

Chief Operating Officer, Immanuel Communities

Powerful! Insightful! Connected! It is amazing how you can meet someone for the first time, spend just a few days together and walk
away forever changed, blessed, elevated, aligned. I could not recommend Nicole’s retreats more. Grateful for the opportunity to attend and use Nicole’s tools and workbook to keep the focus on intentionality and growth.

Denice Biocca

CHRO, GE Vernova

Nicole and the Brave LeadHERship Retreat cohort led me to appreciate how showing up inauthentically will never lead to happiness or success in business or in life. From that tough but well-supported realization, I’ve embraced my authentic leadership style and unique abilities. I am already making positive and measurable impact in my business and in my life with the Brave Operating System framework. The accountability forged in deep relationships made at the Retreat are a gift that will last a lifetime.

Cara Skowronski

Professional EOS Implementer

This retreat gave me the time and space to rediscover why I have stepped into leadership and how I can continue to be the leader I want to be daily. The learning, the space to immediately activate, and the accountability means there is no turning back. I’ve seen an immediate ROI and I am excited (again) about being a brave female leader.

Christina Pilarski

CEO + Founder, CIPR Communications

Leadership at this level is rewarding. But it can also be exhausting.

Even the most extraordinary leaders reach moments where they ask:

How do I keep leading at this level while feeling more fulfilled?
Is there another way to show up—one that doesn’t drain me?
What does it look like to lead with both power and ease?

You’ve likely felt it:

The moments where your days blur together—full, but not fulfilling.
The pressure to sustain your high standards without feeling stretched too thin.
The realization that somewhere along the way, you stopped making space for your own clarity, energy, and expansion.

This retreat is your space to step away from the noise, reconnect with yourself, and recalibrate how you lead—without stepping away from your power.

Not a retreat where you “unplug” for a few days only to return to the same patterns.
Not a leadership workshop where you take pages of notes and struggle to apply them.
Not an overbooked itinerary that feels just as exhausting as work.

This is high-caliber leadership development—built to give you the time, space, and tools to create meaningful transformation in your energy, leadership, and vision.

Because your next level isn’t about doing more.

It’s about leading in a way that’s fully aligned with the leader you want to be.

Why Bravery?

Because bravery is the single most underrated leadership skill of our time. And yet, it’s the one that changes everything.

I know you’re expected to do it all—deliver results, manage change, navigate complexity, and show up with vision, empathy, and presence. But here’s the truth no one says out loud:

🚨 You can’t lead at your highest level without bravery.

Because bravery is what allows you to:

Speak the hard truths—even when it’s uncomfortable
Make bold decisions in uncertain environments
Say no to what drains you so you can say yes to what aligns
Create space for yourself—instead of constantly giving it away
Reimagine what leadership looks like—beyond burnout and hustle

Bravery is not just a mindset. It’s a skill that must be developed, practiced, and strengthened.

It’s called the Brave LeadHERship Retreat—because bravery is the foundation of everything we’ll do together.
