From day Nicole's approach was collaborative, transparent, and thoughtfully strategic. They spent time assessing current needs and opportunities and implemented training and practice changes that will have a positive, long-term impact on the way the Board works, as well as the way individual members provide Board leadership wherever they go. I couldn’t be more impressed by Nicole’s approach and would be happy to have their leadership and guidance in other organizations I work with.”
