About the Guest :

Nicole Bandes is the founder of a virtual team, which she established 7 years ago with the intention of helping individuals make a bigger impact in the world. Her motivation stems from understanding that when people are relieved of tasks that can be handled by others, they have more time to focus on what truly matters to them. Nicole's dedication to this cause was sparked by a personal tragedy a decade ago when she and her husband lost their son. This heartbreaking experience prompted her to reflect on the regrets and missed opportunities in life. Determined to prevent others from feeling the same, Nicole strives to empower individuals to prioritize what is truly important and not waste precious time on tasks that can be delegated to others.
