Working with Nicole was a game-changer for my career. Her patient and thoughtful wisdom, tools, and experience ensured that I could navigate the workplace in a way that felt authentic to me. She was truly invaluable.

Great content and a powerful and clear way of sharing her information. I saw Nicole speak at NAWBO Leadership conference and I came away with information I could implement in that moment without feeling overwhelmed.

Nicole has been a valued partner to ALD & Associates and our clients. She brings knowledge, insight, and expertise to every engagement, and consistently connects with audiences, as reflected in the outstanding feedback from participants and client leaders. Nicole stands out for her professionalism, preparation, and pursuit of excellence. She approaches her work with care, clarity, and purpose, always focusing on meaningful learning and measurable value. I deeply appreciate Nicole’s partnership and her commitment to making talent and teams better. She is a thoughtful leader, skilled presenter, and trusted collaborator who elevates every effort she joins.

I have the privilege of working alongside Nicole in our work for the Greater DC NAWBO board and can tell you that I highly recommend her as a Speaker and Strategic Advisor! (So much so that I've asked her to step back onto our Board in that capacity!) Nicole brings a rare combination of strategic insight, emotional intelligence, and practical execution. She has an exceptional gift for identifying the “human friction” that can slow growth and productivity, then guiding teams and leaders toward more effective communication, collaboration, and resilience. Her coaching and advisory work empowers professionals to lead with greater confidence, focus, and purpose. As a speaker, Nicole is engaging, authentic, and deeply impactful. She connects with audiences in a way that is both inspiring and actionable, blending real-world experience with meaningful strategies people can immediately apply. Whether facilitating leadership development, strategic planning, or productivity training, she creates an environment where people feel motivated, challenged, and supported. Nicole is the kind of trusted advisor every organization and leadership team benefits from having in their corner. Again, I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a thoughtful strategist, transformational coach, and compelling speaker who delivers lasting impact.

The Rise & Thrive Strategic Planning VIP Day was a game-changer for my coaching business. I gained the focus, structure, and direction to move forward confidently. Nicole’s expert guidance helped me refine my vision, prioritize key objectives, and develop a focused, executable plan tailored to my goals. Her strategic insights and actionable steps made what once felt overwhelming completely manageable. At the end of the session, I had a solid roadmap and a renewed motivation and power to execute. If you’re looking for a transformative experience that delivers actual results, this VIP Day is a must!

Nicole is amazing at what she does. She is super knowledgeable and passionate about helping you understand yourself and your team. The assessment I received from Nicole was spot on and pin pointed exactly what I do, and why I am driven to do certain things the way I do. Amazing experience to understand myself better.

I'm Doreca Delbridge and I'm an Organizational Psychologist and Differentiation Strategist. Nicole was so instrumental during a very challenging pivoting journey I was having in my business. None of us operate in a void, our personal lives overflow into business and vice versa. I was experiencing a huge resistance to embracing a change that I'd initiated but for some reason in my body couldn't and didn't want to face. That's when i worked with Nicole and through her coaching I became aware of the spill over from personal life into business life. It was simply transformational!! Nicole was a great listener and had the right questions that probed without feeling intrusive. She had the right balance. I truly appreciated her holding space so that I could discover for myself what I needed to do next. I often recommend Nicole to peers and colleagues, not only does she bring a wealth of expertise, but she has a way of holding space for others to discover their own. That's a pretty unique combination.

I highly recommend Nicole Chamblin for her exceptional leadership training in time management. During her course, she inspired us to find vision clarity for our tasks and utilize the SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) goals. Nicole's profound understanding of the subject was evident, and her course was highly beneficial - I still use the skills I learned from her today. Her expertise and teaching style make her an excellent resource for anyone looking to improve their time management skills.

Initially, Nicole worked conducted a vision board workshop for my entire sales team. She walked us through the steps of visualization and goal setting and ultimately coached us through creating a digital vision board we could display prominently to keep us focused on the things that were most important. The tangible result of this vision board exercise was that our sales numbers nearly doubled that year. The intangible result was that we were all excitedly referring to our vision boards as we completed the various goals we set for ourselves. Priceless!

Nicole has been The Training Connection’s strategic partner since 2014. Her professionalism and commitment to our vision and mission has helped us to meet the growing needs of our clients. She is open, honest and always willing to go that extra mile with our clients and staff. Nicole’s rich facilitation skills and positive attitude has earned the respect of our  colleagues and we have been grateful for her flexibility. I highly recommend her to enhance any organization’s productivity.

Nicole has been instrumental in helping my Team transition from two very different focused parts of this organization to now a very connected, more organized group that communicates daily on common aspects of Field Services. Her approach to our training and even staying connected to assist me in my new role as a leader has been incredible. Nicole is an outstanding mentor, leader and constant inspiration to me personally, because she has inspired me to do my very best each day for my team.

For the past several years I have had the pleasure of working on several projects with Nicole. She is the go-to person when you're looking for increasing your team's collaboration & productivity, and best of all when you have Nicole on your side you know you'll always be on top of current technology tools & tricks. I recommend her without hesitation!

Nicole has been instrumental in guiding my organization with her consulting and educational programs. I highly recommend Nicole.

Attended a workshop on Goal Setting that Nicole presented today at the Prince William Chamber of Commerce. She shared some great insights on why its important to set goals AND more importantly, how to make this part of your daily planning! One specific thing I will remember is to visit your goals every day before deciding on your priorities - priceless.

LinkedIn says pick three attributes - Well, Nicole makes that very hard. Add personable, gives good value, on time, creative and all of the above. I have known Nicole for about ten years now and respect just keeps building. Her book is a bit of a bible in the home. So often I will refer back to information she passed along. Simple but so necessary information concisely placed to get you organized. Get organized both in effort and time-management, call Nicole. It is her specialty and she is an expert. Use her talents.

Nicole is dynamic, strategic, articulate and a pleasure to work with. I have had the opportunity to work with her on the board of NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers) and have seen her work with members, staff and committee chairs on a national level. In the first part of her term, she worked with reimagining and recreating an overburdened technology committee into 3 functional arms by segmenting the work and making the responsibilities (technology, website and statistics) manageable to volunteer leaders. In the second part of her term, she was assigned to NAPO education and certification committees where she works to continually increase the value NAPO provides to our members and all Professional Organizers. As a peer and volunteer president who has served closely with her, I recommend her without question.

Although I've not been a client of Nicole's, I have participated in a number of meetings, which she facilitated for small business owners. She has demonstrated a great deal of integrity and of knowledge about organizing, productivity, and business principles. She is very inclusive, ensuring that each person is heard and that no-one dominates the conversations. She is an excellent listener, and I know her services would accurately mirror the desires of her clients. I always look forward to hearing the insights and experience she shares, as well as the great tips to make all of us more efficient.
