Nice to meet you!
I’m Nicole Zeno.
An Award-Winning Serial Entrepreneur, Consultant, Coach, and Public Speaker
At the age of 9, I watched my parents grow their business from my childhood home’s basement into a multi-million dollar agency. I saw how one small business can change so many lives and at that moment I knew I was meant to become an entrepreneur. I dabbled in many different industries including music, TV, movies, tech, startups, apps, and more. What I soon came to realize is that my clients, friends, and family were all asking me for help with topics that I thought were common sense about business strategy and how to grow businesses.

My Aha! Moment
The experience of watching my parents build a business from scratch took away the fear around building businesses and turned into all the confidence I needed to jump in and succeed (and sometimes fail). Those opportunities turned into my expertise.
In a world that didn’t always make sense to me, running and growing businesses did and still does! I had immersed myself in it so much that it became a habit, like brushing my teeth.
I decided to use my talent for good and my mission is to help ambitious executives & young professionals (especially women) by using creative problem solving and experience to navigate development in self-improvement, business, startups, leadership, and life.

Helping Others Find Their Strength
One of my favorite accomplishments is helping people overcome Impostor Syndrome. I realize that although I was successful, I wasn’t really thriving. I looked to my mentors and although I have learned some amazing things from them, they were all older white men! No wonder I was struggling. This realization led to years of Impostor Syndrome but it also led to years of experimenting and finding a foolproof plan to overcome it!
Want to work together?
I always love meeting, brainstorming, and doing big things with ambitious people!
