Speaking Reel

ABOUT NICOLE

The official bio

When people work in high stress, people centered roles, the pressure does not just show up in workloads. It shows up in short patience, second guessing, miscommunication, and the feeling that one more hard moment might push them over the edge.

Nicole Phillips helps people interrupt that pattern. Through humor, storytelling, and practical mindset tools, she teaches people how to notice differently, shift out of autopilot, and respond with more clarity, calm, and intention.

Her message is rooted in one simple truth: what you look for is what you see. When people change what they practice noticing, stress drops, trust rises, and relationships at work get stronger.

What planners and audiences say.

I invited Nicole to run a multi-hour workshop with our AI team in Toronto, and the team is still thinking about it weeks later. This was not her usual audience. We are a highly technical, analytical, and internationally diverse team of AI researchers and developers. Within an hour, people were sharing things about their lives that colleagues of years had never heard. ... Every single person said they had never been part of anything like it. ... I can't recommend her highly enough.
— Nataraj Dasgupta, SVP, AI | Toronto workshop client

During the month of January our hospital likes to help staff beat the winter blues. This year we were fortunate to have Nicole speak to our team on kindness. Nicole's personal story touched the hearts of many of the staff. She kept us all engaged and reminded us the importance of acts of kindness especially through our words. We highly recommend Nicole as a powerful and uplifting speaker who will remind your team to be kind, be kind, be kind!
— Amy Hermes, AVP Patient Services, Stoughton Hospital

Nicole spoke at our Nursing Symposium and was a true partner from start to finish. Her message on mindset and perspective landed beautifully with our team, and she was warm and easy to work with every step of the way. I'd recommend her without hesitation.
— Jami Gage and Shannon Schwartz, Nursing Symposium Coordinators| Fargo, ND (500 nurses) 

I could hear Nicole speak 100 times and I would still enjoy it because it seems like when she is speaking you feel like you are always learning something new and exciting to use in our busy lives. I would recommend her to speak at anybody's event because she is truly a great inspirational speaker and she keeps your attention throughout the entire speech.
— Adam Grimm, Ohio University
