Nicole's keynote on mentorship was amazing. What I personally appreciated was her ability to engage our audience from handing out t-shirts, bringing attendee's on stage, and one of the best Q&A sessions I have seen in what has now been our 3rd annual Women in Glass + Fenestration session at GlassBuild America.

It was great to see Nicole open up and share her journey to overcoming limiting beliefs. Her vulnerability allows us to truly believe we can achieve our next level of success like she has! She is both professional and fun which makes for a wonderful speaker!
I am the Managing Director of Women Who Code DFW. As a leader in empowering marginalized groups in technology, I was delighted to welcome Nicole to give our group a talk on Mitigating Bias to Build Successfully Diverse Teams. Nicole is an engaging, empathetic, and insightful speaker, and is especially knowledgeable on Diversity and Inclusion training. She successfully facilitated an online event where every member participated and learned from one another. I recommend Nicole to any group looking to empower their members or employees to become more compassionate with one another. Her talk helps inspire people to actively seek inclusion and embrace building diverse teams in whatever environment they are in.
Response from Nicole C. Calhoun, Women Empowerment:
Thank you Johanna. It was an honor to speak to this group. As always, I enjoy and look forward to speaking to Women Who Code in the future.
Nicole did a fabulous job facilitating our recent Leadership retreat! The training was top notch, the activities kept everyone engaged, and everyone grew their leadership skills as a result. Nicole was able to draw everyone into the conversation and provided great feedback! After the weekend was over, Nicole went a step further and followed up with the participants - reminding them of the goals they established and the steps they had decided to follow to meet those goals! I highly recommend her!

Response from Nicole C. Calhoun, Women Empowerment:
Vanessa, thank you. It was my pleasure to serve your group. I also enjoyed working with you and your team and look forward to future events.
I contacted Nicole seeking her services for a virtual series we host on an annual basis. We seek out the caliber of speakers that we believe will equip, encourage and enrich our audience. Nicole, flawlessly delivered all three! She was poised, engaging, easily connected to our diverse audience of women leaving them examining themselves and taking in the tools she provided in her speech/presentation. As Nicole spoke on a topic "The Courage To Be Uniquely You," one that everyone can benefit in living out, the women were engaging and commenting in the chat with messages describing it as something they needed to hear and needed to do. To sum up the speaking and training the audience received from Nicole, it was exceptional, empowering and exact! We could not have asked for more! Any host,hiring manager and/or CEO looking to positively impact and equip others will be greatly served by hiring Nicole.

Nicole did an amazing talk and workshop on "Becoming a Person of Influence" for our local Women Who Code group. We had to switch her event from in-person to online due to COVID-19 precautions and she did a fantastic job making the webinar interactive for our members. She facilitated many discussions and even initiated a uniquely planned breakout session for people to discuss leadership concepts. She provided an insightful and inspiring event that we had fun attending!
