Championing
Women At Work
Before there were coaches, communities, and blogs on career advice, Nicole Williams was consulting with some of the world’s most influential companies on how to attract and retain female talent.
Today WORKS by Nicole Williams is a leading brand of its own — a career management agency helping women go further faster than they could on their own. Utilizing an agile approach to careers, Nicole coaches and connects professional women who want to increase their profile and reach their full intellectual, creative, and earning potential.
TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH WORK
Nicole offers an alternative to the
dated and general career advice — one
that delivers on the oft unfulfilled promise
of women supporting women.
It’s Not Your Career, It’s Your Life
In this post-pandemic world the lines between the personal and the professional have become increasingly blurred, making the playing field more challenging for both employers and employees.
Nicole’s innovative approach supports companies and employees to embrace new, flexible work models and cultivate a workforce that is encouraged to design their own careers.
