Hard problems, solved together.
I coach individuals and teams to thrive in work and in life. That might be a leader stepping into a bigger role, someone in the middle of a career pivot, or a team stuck on a problem that keeps coming back. I bring art, play, creative problem solving, and the science of flourishing into the room, so people stop circling the problem and start building their way through it.
Every other week, I share what I’m learning in the newsletter.

One-on-one coaching for leaders looking to make a jump—a bigger role or a pivot to something new. Built on Stanford's Designing Your Life, What Color Is Your Parachute, and the science of creative problem solving.
Coach with me
Workshops, keynotes, and facilitation that turn a room full of people into a team that thinks together. Leadership off-sites, corporate retreats, and team sessions built on art, play, and creative problem solving.

Measure your team
Nicole has an amazing way of using different communication skills to help in what could be a controversial conversation. It has helped me to efficiently and effectively communicate with my team.
— Peggy Sullivan, Agency Owner, State FarmI've spent my career living both sides of the table — in corporate, in the classroom, and now building the tool I wished existed in both. I teach business strategy and innovation at Southern Methodist University and UT Dallas, and I coach leaders using the same flourishing research I bring into my classroom.
About
Most organizations already measure engagement. Interplay tells you what to do about it. Gallup and your annual engagement survey tell you where you were. Interplay tells you what's happening right now — what's driving momentum on your team and what's quietly blocking it, built on Harvard's Human Flourishing research and turned into action through Creative Problem Solving methodology — an immediate next step, not another report to file away.
