A graduate of Goucher College and a member of the college's Athletic Hall of Fame, Nichole’s perspective on leadership was shaped long before she became a manager. Nichole brings a practitioner’s perspective to conversations about management and leadership: what works, what doesn’t, and what organizations can do to better equip managers to lead.
