Executive Coaching for Women in Investments, Accounting & Law

Business Coaching for Women Seeking Career Fulfillment

Business coaching for women in wealth management, investments, accounting, and law who are ready for more than a career that only looks successful on paper. If you feel overlooked, stressed, or simply unfulfilled, The PowerShift Method™ helps you make a clear, values-aligned decision: stay and reshape your role, or leave and start your own firm. Then we build the strategy to make it happen.

I’m Laurie Nichols, Certified Professional Coach and Creator of The PowerShift Method™. I spent more than five years as a CPA and bank auditor, then over 20 years as Managing Partner of a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), so I’ve been on both sides of this decision. I know what it’s like to work inside a traditional firm and navigate a male-dominated environment. I also know what it takes to build and lead a firm of your own, including what each path demands, what it costs, and what it makes possible.

That experience lets me help you weigh your options from first-hand insight. This isn’t a program designed to get you to quit your job. Staying and leaving are equally valid choices, and I’ll fully support whichever one is right for you.

The Result: Instead of hoping for the best or waiting for opportunities that may never come, you’ll reclaim your personal power, get clear on what’s next, and leave with a step-by-step plan for a more fulfilling career, whichever path you choose.

Let’s connect to discover what’s possible.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You’re feeling a level of burnout or built-up resentment because you can no longer ignore the values misalignment in your current position.
  • You love your work yet feel a growing internal conflict and tension about being underestimated and overlooked.
  • You’re wondering how much longer you can justify “it’s not that bad.” Yet, wonder 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).
  • “Should I stay, or should I go?” is a constant loop in the back of your mind.

Are you ready to expand your perspective on what’s truly possible for you?
