The BRAVE LeadHERship Retreat

I know you...

You’ve achieved what others only imagine — yet the higher you rise in leadership, the louder the world becomes.

You’ve carried the mission, the meetings, the momentum — all of it. You’ve built the business, led the teams, and sustained the success.

Now, it’s time for something deeper — a deliberate evolution that separates great leaders from legendary ones.

You’ve mastered the external game of leadership. Now, you’re being called to master the internal one.

To refine your power.
To lead with soul.
To shape your legacy — not someday, but now.

This is where power becomes presence, ambition meets authenticity, and leadership becomes legacy.

Where women leaders come together to grow, reflect, and realign at the Brave LeadHERship Retreat in Sedona — a transformational leadership development experience for executive women like you…

At a certain level, the gap isn’t skill - it’s space.

If you’re a woman at the top — one who’s built a business, a family, an empire, ones who’s shaped cultures, and mentored others — but are still searching for a deeper way to lead — I see you.

This is where power meets presence. Where strategy meets stillness. Where the next evolution of your leadership legacy begins.

That’s why I created The Brave LeadHERship Retreat in Sedona — a private, application-only experience for an intimate group of extraordinary women ready to evolve from leading with excellence to leading with essence.

After five transformational days with me in the energy vortex of Sedona, you’ll emerge with:

Refined Power

A deeper command of your energy, decisions, and impact.

Soul-Led Clarity

Alignment between who you are and how you lead.

Expanded Vision

The courage and focus to architect what’s next — personally and professionally.

Recalibrated Energy

A renewed sense of vitality that fuels both external performance and inner peace.

Legacy In Motion

A clear understanding of the mark you’re meant to leave — and the brave next steps to make it real.

What if your next leadership breakthrough didn't come in a boardroom… but in red rock silence?

Walking canyon trails at dawn, feeling the desert floor under your feet, sitting still long enough to hear your own thoughts again.

What if your next bold move wasn’t a decision… but a moment of stillness under a Sedona sky where you finally heard yourself again?

In Sedona, we slow down not to escape — but to recalibrate. To remember what your body feels like without urgency.

What your voice sounds like without compromise. What your leadership becomes without performance.

There will be moments that can’t be scheduled. Silence you’ve never sat with before. Truths that rise without force. Laughter that cracks something open. And a room where you are witnessed as the leader you’ve worked this hard to become.

This is an immersion in your next chapter — through red rock, ritual, and reverent space.
Your Brave Operating System isn’t written in slides.

It’s rooted at the identity level.

And it’s waiting for you in Sedona.

A Transformational Leadership Experience for Women at the Top

This isn’t a retreat to escape your leadership — it’s a place to elevate it.

At the Brave LeadHERship Retreat in Sedona, you’ll experience a transformational leadership journey designed for executive women who are ready to expand their influence and lead with soul.

Emerge renewed — not with more to do, but with more capacity to be the kind of leader only you can be.

This isn’t just a leadership retreat you attend.
It’s one you become.

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.

This Retreat is For You If…

You’re an accomplished senior executive or C-suite leader who’s ready for your next evolution — not just in business, but in how you live and lead.
You’ve mastered external success and are now craving internal alignment — leadership that feels as good as it looks.
You’re ready to refine your power — to lead with more clarity, calm, and conviction than ever before.
You’re drawn to experiences that blend depth, luxury, and meaning — because you know the right environment changes everything.
You want to shape a legacy defined not just by results, but by authenticity, humanity, and impact.

This Retreat Is Not For You If…

You’re looking for quick fixes, surface-level inspiration, or another leadership checklist.
You’re not ready to look inward or challenge the patterns that hold you back.
You see rest, reflection, or self-mastery as luxuries — instead of the foundation for sustainable leadership.

Where Leadership, Luxury, and Legacy Collide

You’ll spend five days and four nights on a private luxury property nestled among Sedona’s stunning red rocks with an intimate group of executive women just like you.

Sedona sits on four major energy vortex sites, where the land concentrates and amplifies what’s already moving inside you. The clarity you find here doesn’t stay here — it becomes the leadership, and the legacy, you carry home.

Every detail is designed so you can fully exhale — and expand. Each day blends senior executive-level development with intentional integration and sensory immersion — because transformation happens when intellect meets embodiment.

Due to the exclusive nature of this retreat, it is by application or invitation only.

A trusted expert by these Fortune 500 executives + more

Meet Your Retreat Host

I have spent years inside Fortune 500 boardrooms, coaching senior leaders, executives, and high-performing teams through some of their toughest leadership challenges and creating real transformation that fuels both career success and personal fulfillment.

I’m the bestselling author of Small Brave Moves and Five Tough Talks, and a sought-after leadership transformation expert who helps executives unlock the power of brave leadership.

I have:

Led transformation efforts inside major corporations
Coached countless executives through high-stakes leadership challenges
Created frameworks that are used by top leaders to create cultures of trust, high performance, and sustainable success

Most importantly — I get you.

I knows what it’s like to lead at the highest level. I understand the pressure, the expectations, and the drive to always be at your best.

And I know that true leadership expansion isn’t about doing more—it’s about aligning how you lead with who you truly are.

That’s the journey this retreat will take you on.

You're not alone if...

You’ve built an extraordinary career but feel your next chapter demands a different kind of power.

You sense that your leadership impact has plateaued — not from lack of drive, but from lack of space to think, feel, and evolve.

You lead with excellence, yet crave more meaning, more resonance, more soul in the way you show up.

You’ve mastered performance, but rarely feel fully seen, challenged, and expanded.

You keep seeking growth through books, courses, and conferences — yet nothing reaches the depth you’re ready for now.

Because at your level, growth isn’t about learning more.

It’s about refining who you already are — and creating the space where your next evolution can actually land.

Why Bravery?

Because bravery isn’t loud or impulsive.

It’s the quiet precision of a leader who knows who she is — and leads accordingly.

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

At this stage in your career, you’re expected to do it all — deliver results, manage complexity, and lead with vision, empathy, and grace.

But here’s what few ever admit: You can’t refine your power or shape your legacy without bravery.

Because bravery is what allows you to:

Lead from conviction — not convenience.
Make bold moves when certainty isn’t guaranteed.
Honor your boundaries so your energy fuels what truly matters.
Speak truth to power — including your own.
Redefine leadership on your terms — without apology.

Bravery is not about force. It’s about alignment.

It’s the difference between performing leadership and embodying it.

It’s called the Brave LeadHERship Retreat because bravery is the foundation of everything we’ll do together — and the bridge between the leader you’ve been and the one you’re becoming.

This isn’t a vacation - it’s leadership strategy with a direct ROI.

When you refine your power and lead with soul, the impact ripples far beyond you.

You’ll return from this retreat with sharper clarity, stronger presence, and renewed capacity to lead your teams and organizations with precision and purpose.

The ROI of Brave LeadHERship looks like:

Elevated decision-making rooted in clarity, confidence, and calm.
Greater team trust and alignment through authentic communication.
Expanded capacity for innovation and influence under pressure.
Improved energy, focus, and executive resilience.
A reinvigorated sense of meaning that fuels sustainable success.

Because when you lead from wholeness — not hustle — everything changes: your team, your results, and the legacy you leave behind.
