Big Leaps & Crushing Limits with Gabriele Nicolet
She is an accidental entrepreneur who lives in Washington, DC with her husband and 2 teenage children. She is a speech language pathologist with over 15 years of experience working with young children with speech and language difficulties and other special needs. She the owner of SpeechKids, LLC—a private practice serving children and families in the Washington, DC metro area—and the creator of the Toddler Talk Online Program for Parents. She recently began to grow her business in order to become the primary breadwinner for her family, and today we're going to discuss big leaps and crushing limits with Gabriele Nicolet!
Gabriele discusses that the kids that attend therapy have a need, and they need some help in order to overcome this need. What they end up learning in therapy is, “There are things that I cannot do, but
when I work really hard with people that I love and trust, I can do them.” Gabriele’s role as a therapist is to be the person that those kids love and trust, and she gets to show them how capable they can be. She describes this role as the biggest thrill in her life.
“The kids that go to therapy, they know their limits, but they also know those limits can be crushed.”
Gabriele’s son and daughter have seen her entrepreneurship skills develop over the last few years, from something that started out as more of a hobby. “My kids get to watch me learn new things. My kids get to watch me struggle with something new that I’m trying. My kids get to see that process of me growing into something new. It’s part of that whole journey: once impossible, now possible.”
Gabriele’s kids have taken her entrepreneurship spirit and have started forging their own entrepreneurial path. Her son now owns a magic business where he and a friend do birthday parties and her words, are “killing it!”
Through running her own business, Gabriele has learned she’s a lot tougher than she thought. She’s also learned she has a great capacity to learn.
Gabriele recommends reading The Big Leap, by Gay Hendricks.
Her number one piece of advice as an entrepreneur, Gabriele wishes she would have gotten into a community sooner. It’s lonely, and you think you’re the only person dealing with certain issues, and you’re NEVER the only person. You just have to find the people and be in the tribe with those who are experiencing the same thing.
