When change hits, how you show up
matters.

I help leaders and teams thrive through disruption by turning overwhelm into action.

Change doesn’t fail because people don’t care.
It fails when things feel unclear, unsafe, or too much.

I’m a TEDx speaker and author of Thriving Through Change: A Guide for Catalytic Leaders.

My keynotes are grounded, practical, and human.
People leave with simple tools they can use right away.
Loosen your grip. Speak the truth. Invite support.

How to Lead with Clarity When Change Hits

When pressure rises, leaders often tighten control, move faster, or push harder. In real uncertainty, those instincts can backfire.

In this keynote, Nicole Paquet shares practical tools to create clarity, safety, and forward momentum when answers are incomplete.

Leaders will learn how to:

  • Create clarity when the path is messy

  • Name hard truths without eroding trust

  • Turn overwhelm into practical action

Best suited for: leadership offsites, executive and manager audiences, transformation kickoffs, strategy and culture events.

Staying Steady in Disruption: Tools for Tough Seasons

When disruption hits, people brace, withdraw, or push through. Those patterns can disconnect teams and slow progress.

This keynote gives teams simple tools to stay grounded, communicate clearly, and keep moving forward together.

Participants will learn how to:

  • Reset when stress and urgency spike

  • Focus on what matters most right now

  • Support each other without burning out

Best suited for: association conferences, all hands meetings, team retreats, culture and wellbeing initiatives, post change gatherings.
