With qualifications including doctorate-level studies in Mental Health Counseling, an M.A. in i/o Psychology, certifications in trauma and resilience, psychological first aid, and integrated behavioral health, Nichole (A.N.) brings a wealth of expertise to the stage. But it's her warm, accessible, and sincere approach that makes the audience feel comfortable as she gets them exploring, processing, and finding new ways to be 'Radically Well.'

An accomplished trauma-informed consultant, trainer, and facilitator, Nichole can connect with leaders, managers, and team members alike. With compelling anecdotes, humor, and plenty of valuable evidence, Myles shows the power of organizational and individual wellness and provides guidelines and frameworks to make radical wellness accessible and approachable for any company or organization.

A.N. is a published author and illustrator bridging her creativity, knowledge, and message in print. Her works include an anthology, Breaking the Silence, where she is a contributing author and Nicki Scribbles, a children's picture book using expressive arts modalities she both authored and illustrated. In addition, she is the substack writer and poet behind Wild, Beautiful Things, and is currently working on a solo published work, All the Other Things.

A unique aspect of Nichole's 'Radical Wellness' approach (learning to be okay, even when the things around you are not) is the opportunity to infuse arts for mental health and healing into organizations, communities, and individual daily life. Using her own 'Common Creativity' curriculum, participants are guided through proficiency-free creative experiences that unleash problem-solving, creative communications, and empowerment.

Speaking Services

Event planners, site coordinators, and programming directors, let's work together to build the ideal message for your attendees. Working with me, you'll find attentiveness to needs, customized messaging to reflect your goals, and a willingness to be flexible along with a memorable message that will have your clients talking long after they leave the room.

Keynote Speaking

20 - 90 minutes from the mainstage to kick off your event or conference, bring it to a close, or run an engaging plenary as the mid-point. The choice is yours! I'll listen to your needs and create a custom, memorable message.

Panelist

I will join your panel discussion with other thought leaders creating a collaborative exchange of ideas, opinions, identification of the current limitations, and hope and solutions for the future we need and deserve.

Offered as a workshop or breakout session, small group sessions are offered to allow for a more intimate sharing of ideas, tools, potential approaches and solutions.

Facilitator

No surprise billing or extra expenses when you work with me. I don't believe in it. I will custom build a transparent one-price proposal that includes all fees, including travel, food, and lodging. Even better, I can work with you to put together a 'day' charge. Instead of pricing out for each service you need, we can bundle based on the days I'm needed and save you significant money! On a limited budget? Please let me know so we can build the best possible presentation for you without going over. I'm happy to work with you and your needs.

"Absolutely blown away by what you did on the stage, Nichole. My people are still talking about it! You delivered their PD and still managed to leave them inspired and ready to take on their clients. They are already asking if we'll be having your back again. Couldn't have asked for any more. Thank you!"
