About CREATIVE THREAD
Ready to get in front of that audience with an “I’M HERE!” kind of presence? Yikes, right?
- Your mind might be saying, “Yes, I want that!”, but your body is giving you different signals: nausea, cold sweats, vocal quivering, hands shaking, shallow breathing every time you’re about to speak or perform in front of an audience.
- You’re terrified that the self-doubt will creep in and sabotage this important moment, making you look and sound stupid. It ends up being an out-of-body experience that, in retrospect, you don’t even really remember.
- You’re wondering if you’ll ever get control over your nervousness, because deep down, you know you have something to share and you want to feel comfortable, at ease, even excited about being in front of your audience.
Public speaking coaching is just what you need!
Using Jungian coaching techniques like Shadow Work, Archetypal Integration, Active Imagination, etc., along with simple, but highly effective public speaking and performance tools, I was able to create a new relationship with myself as a performer and speaker. This is how I found the missing piece.
What is that missing piece?
Through performance anxiety coaching, I've witnessed the profound transformation that occurs when fear is no longer just an obstacle but an ally. By identifying and fully exploring that fear through Jungian coaching techniques, you unlock your secret power.
This power, once exposed, can be harnessed to transform the fear into excitement, purpose and connection—whatever you need in the moment of performance or speaking.
It's not just about overcoming fear; it's about turning it into the fuel that drives your passion and presence on stage. This shift is what completes the journey, allowing you to step into your true potential as a performer and speaker.
About Nicole
Hi, I’m Nicole and I specialize in public speaking coaching to help people who struggle with public speaking jitters, performance anxiety and full-on stage fright, get out in front of their audience with clarity, confidence and exhilaration.
You’ve probably tried therapy, mindful meditation, hypnosis, but nothing worked long-term because, while it might have made you painfully aware of the root cause, it didn’t give you real-time tools to use in the moment. What you need is a new approach and a new relationship with your fear.
I’ve been where you are. I know how hard it can be to stand in front of an audience, knowing you need to speak or perform, but feeling completely frozen, ineffective, shaky and judged. I’ve had this experience leading workshops, teaching large groups, playing piano and performing in theater. My “technique” at the time was just to push through, rush through, get to the end! But I’d have no real memory of the experience, no way to gauge how it really went. I was just so relieved it was over.
It wasn’t until I started to address the underlying issues that I started to see my own stage fright patterns. I started to understand my own relationship to performing and speaking in public.
My Clients
Even though some of them were total skeptics
These are people who thought debilitating nervous anxiety was just a normal, uncomfortable part of public speaking. People who thought they would never be able to keep their head clear enough to speak with authority and purpose. But these same people have a new relationship with their fear.
She found her courage
One client, a music school business owner, has overcome her fear of leading groups, but more specifically, speaking with compassionate authority.
He overcame his fear
Another client has shifted from dreading his weekly video conference sales calls with upper-level management, to feeling at ease, relaxed and in the moment.
She is pursuing her passion
Another client has taken huge leaps in creating a non-profit organization that requires her leadership to be clear, effective and creative.
Today, they are all enjoying the creative process, the moment in front of their audience and the opportunity to learn from each speaking experience.
What about you?
The fear of public speaking and performing isn’t just about the fear of failing or embarrassing oneself. It’s a complex web of emotions and beliefs that can keep you from fully expressing the real you.
I want to help you break through those barriers so that you can confidently show up as the funny, intelligent, creative, and caring person you truly are—whether you’re speaking to an audience of one in the mirror or standing before a crowd.
What gets in the way?
Why don't you feel CONFIDENT & PRESENT?
- Self-Doubt: The inner critic that questions your abilities and undermines your confidence.
- Perfectionism: The unrealistic expectation to perform flawlessly, which can lead to anxiety and paralysis.
- Fear of Judgment: Worrying about how others will perceive you, which can make you overly self-conscious and hesitant.
- Negative Past Experiences: Memories of previous failures or embarrassing moments that resurface and trigger anxiety.
- Lack of Connection: Feeling disconnected from the audience, which can make your performance feel forced and inauthentic.
By addressing these factors, we can work together to transform your fear into a source of strength, allowing you to perform with authenticity, purpose and joy.
I can't help it
I am a musically-inclined Aquarius who loves:
- cats (especially night-time cuddle hour with our cat, Holly)
- all bodies of water (kayaking, swimming and boogie boarding not-so-scary ocean waves)
- traveling to interesting, off-the-beaten-path places
- the idea of living in a house without walls
- taking joy, creativity, laughter and humor very seriously
Why work with me one-on-one?
- I’m a compassionate, empathetic listener with a clear objective: I will help you see ALL of you – the stuff that is clearly working for you and the stuff that is unseen AND getting in the way of you being your brilliant self.
- AND I will help you identify, clarify and integrate ALL of you so you get to be a whole person on stage and off. Watch out world!
- I’ve spent years trying to ‘get through’ uncomfortable moments in front of an audience, and I know I can help you own that feeling of “I’m Here! And I’ve got something to say and do!” much faster.
