Book me to speak!
Professional athlete. Multiple entrepreneur. Sober. Mom at 40. And so much more. I’ve enjoyed great successes and great losses, but it’s what I’ve learned on the journey that can help you most. We can all do great things in this world; sometimes we just get stuck along the way.
I am passionate about encouraging and inspiring people to discover their paths and move their lives forward. I speak at women’s functions, health & fitness events, colleges, sports teams, entrepreneurial conferences and more. Anyone seeking direction in their own lives will be inspired and motivated.
Speech topics include these & more
Fueled by Positivity: How to win YOUR Ironman
Everyone has an Ironman event to tackle in their lives. In this fun and energetic talk, Nicole shares stories from her own Ironman events, give tips and tricks to getting across the finish line, and leaves people inspired to move themselves forward.
Under the Skirt: Lessons in Feminine Entrepreneurship
Starting a business is not easy. Most people stop before they ever take the first step. Nicole openly and freely shares her rites of passage as she became an entrepreneur specifically from a woman’s point of view. Topics include building a team, finding your niche in a crowded business world, creating a long term strategy, making changes when strategies don’t work, weathering the storm when it’s outside of your control, and more.
Let That Sh*t Go
We are born to build, to strive, to achieve. What happens when it stops working? What happens when it’s time to change your direction? Letting go of things that we care about is hard. It’s emotional. It makes us consider what success and failure really mean. It’s uncomfortable to live in a place of unknowing. And ultimately, it’s about letting go of an important part of our identities. On the other side lies freedom, growth and a new beginning.
What Others Are Saying
Nicole is a fantastic story teller! Our audience loved her sense of humor and the FIRE she brought to the importance of following your dreams. Humble, powerful and connected – that’s Nicole.
CHANTAL PIERRAT, FOUNDER, EMERGING WOMEN
Nicole has been a YWCA motivational speaker to community crowds on several occasions. She’s engaging, uplifting, and enthusiastic. She has a great story to tell and she tells it well. Nicole will inspire anyone to be the best they can be and to climb the highest mountain.
JANET BEARDSLEY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, YWCA BOULDER
Nicole gives a very witty, engaging and articulate speech about pursuing your dreams, working with tenacity, using mentors, and building a game changing enterprise. Her amazing background as a triathlete and entrepreneur give her tons of credibility to address these topics. Our students at Utah State University are still talking about her a year after her visit. I highly recommend Nicole for a powerful keynote address.
MICHAEL GLAUSER, ENTREPRENEUR, AUTHOR, CONSULTANT, AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE CLARK CENTER FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP AT UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY
We recently had the privilege of having Nicole speak to a group of dynamic Executive Women from the Boulder area. Most of us will likely never run an ironman, much less win one, but we were honored to have Nicole share her winning attitude with us. We found her to be totally approachable and caring. She related well to our audience, had great life experiences to share not only as an athlete, but as a mother and a business owner as well. We are awed by you Nicole!

REBECCA ROSE, PRESIDENT, IN CLOVER, INC.
Nicole spoke at our Women’s Chamber of Commerce luncheon to a packed house of successful businesswomen. Her story was incredibly inspirational, her delivery was relatable yet professional, and her message was memorable. Her talk evoked numerous takeaways on how to move your life forward, at whatever chapter you’re in. I would highly recommend Nicole to speak to your group of business professionals, health and fitness enthusiasts, or just about anyone. They will leave the event feeling positive and enlightened about their own lives.
