Do you call the baby ugly?
 Because being straightforward is viewed as negative, Women with strong personalities struggle significantly more in the workforce.  Are men with "strong" personalities labeled difficult, or are they praised for being confident and assertive? How do these Women thrive while being called rude, mean or worse?  As Nicole says it, the right Leaders view her personality as an asset and for her that's empowering. Nicole is open and willing to challenge the process and reminds us not to settle for the status quo.

Check out her bio below.

  Nicole has served in the US Air Force for 13 years. She is a wife of 11 years to a firefighter, the mom of two kids (aged 7 and 3), the caretaker of two obnoxiously high maintenance dogs, and a creator of things. She's a lot of things but outside of all the identifying nouns, her adjectives would be: Christian, introverted, creative, driven, detail oriented, organized, passionate, determined, and anxious (in no particular order).  Born in Massachusetts (Go Pats!) but  raised mostly in South Carolina, she  currently lives in  San Antonio. She loves all things artistic and does a lot of it herself, excitedly bringing her kiddos in to do it with her any chance she gets. When she's not hyper-vigilantly watching small children use art supplies, she loves to read and watch tv shows with her husband that lets her get out of her very busy head. Just like most full time working moms, wives, and Airmen – she's just trying to balance it all, one spinning plate at a time.
