Expand your perspective on what’s possible
Chart your path with confidence and support
You’ve worked hard to build your career and now you’re standing at a crossroads: stay where you are or choose to pivot.
The tension is real—and it’s not just about the job. It’s about your values, your contributions, and your future.
- You’re feeling burnout or built-up resentment because you cannot ignore the values misalignment in your current position.
- You love your work, yet feel growing internal conflict and tension about being underestimated and overlooked.
- You wonder how much longer you can justify “it’s not that bad.” Yet, worry if it would be different anywhere else?
- You’re experiencing a persistent sense of loneliness and a lack of peer support as the only woman (or the only woman at your level).
- You successfully navigated a major company ownership transition event only to find yourself disillusioned with a growing sense of discomfort and longing for change?
- “Should I stay, or should I go?” is a constant loop in the back of your mind.

Meet Laurie Nichols.
I bring 30+ years of professional experience, hard-won wisdom, and empathy to my work as a trusted confidante and coach.
The early days of my career as a CPA and later as an entrepreneur in the investment industry, provided so many great experiences and, to be honest, painful lessons learned that were the catalyst for me starting a next chapter career as a coach and consultant. Following the sale of my business, I gravitated toward coaching initially with a focus on bringing “heart” to the process of succession planning. It has been my privilege to work with some amazing business owners, leaders and successors.
As important and truly special this work felt, it has also awakened in me a level of awareness I can no longer ignore of the challenges that professional women and leaders continue to face especially in the financial services, legal and accounting industries.
I recognized how common it is for hidden agendas, expectations and rules to impact women at all stages and levels of their careers.
It’s time for my next chapter: Mission 2.0
I’m a certified coach, facilitator, and heart-centered guide for women redefining “win-win” in work and life.
My mission is to help women professionals navigate challenging interpersonal dynamics and cultural obstacles keeping them from the success they deserve and loving their work. What is the true cost to you of grinding it out, rationalizing why it’s not that bad, and thinking you just need to try harder?
AND, if you’re a business owner who recognizes the value of attracting great women professionals (and potential for missed opportunities to serve a growing market of women clients), the time is now to commit to real change. Culture, and yes, inclusivity matter now more than ever.
Our work together will support you, gaining the clarity needed to answer this question and align your head and heart with an empowered definition of success. I’m here to ensure you feel empowered, heard, and understood throughout the process.
