SHIFT: A Five-Step Framework for Transforming Organizational Culture
Grounded in Nicole's doctoral research and 25 years of leadership experience, SHIFT lays out a five-step framework for leading organizations through the threshold of culture change, the space where most transformation efforts stall. Written for executives, culture leaders, and anyone responsible for guiding an organization through the space between what was and what's next.
SHIFT is a masterclass in transformational leadership, providing a clear, actionable framework for driving meaningful and lasting cultural change... reinforcing that real change isn't about policies, but about people.

SHIFT: A Transformational Journey from Playing Small to Unapologetically Thriving
The personal counterpart to Nicole's organizational work, this book applies the same underlying SHIFT framework to the transitions high-achieving women face in their own lives. Through personal stories, including her own, Nicole helps women break free from the patterns that keep them playing small, release perfectionism and self-doubt, and rebuild their lives around their deepest values and unapologetic truth.
Also available: the SHIFT Companion Guide and Journal, designed to help readers put the framework into practice.
