Before what you see today —
Nicole realized she was asking her business to do a job it was never built to do.
She had the brand.
The team. The work.
But no one really knew *who* was behind it all, and growth stalled.
It wasn’t for a lack of vision or talent. She was just doing what most high-capacity founders do: staying behind the scenes, refining the product, and expecting it to speak for her.
But it wasn’t. Because it couldn’t. The company needed a voice. A leader.
Someone to step forward and say: here’s what we’re building and why it matters.
So she did. Not by shouting louder, but by getting clearer. Not by showing up everywhere, but by showing up fully.
That shift didn’t just reshape her business. It reshaped her purpose and the work she’s become known for.

From avoiding hard decisions to failing to show vulnerability, these are some of the behaviors at work that make you seem like an ineffective leader.
Nicole Hart is a strategic leadership advisor helping accomplished women leaders bridge the gap between private competence and public presence.
Through integrated advisory that combines mindset mastery with strategic brand development, she guides visionary founders and executives to step into their authentic authority while building the influence their expertise deserves. She's also the founder of Hart Brand Studio — a boutique creative studio delivering sophisticated personal brand design for mission-driven leaders.
Respected for her sharp instincts and transformational approach, Nicole specializes in the internal work that creates external recognition—helping accomplished women evolve both their leadership presence and strategic positioning. Her methodology addresses the limiting beliefs and patterns that keep experts invisible while developing the personal brand strategy that translates their evolved authority into opportunities.
Her work spans leadership development, and strategic brand positioning, and has supported over 100 brands across industries like wellness, real estate, fashion, and tech. She's been featured in Forbes and Fast company and serves as a trusted advisor to female leaders ready to own their expertise and expand their influence.
She's also the host and visionary behind the Haven — a podcast and private community exploring how personal evolution creates professional success for ambitious women leaders.
When she's not guiding leadership transformations, you'll find her walking the beach with her pups, curating antique finds, or learning Italian with a glass of wine in hand.
