Send us a message!My guest today is Nicole Anderson.Nicole is a leadership development consultant and coach. Nicole is a returning guest to the podcast and this is an inspiring conversation that includes stories of Nicole's recent journey of starting her own company and podcast.Nicole founded Audacia after two decades inside the rooms where growth-stage decisions get made, leading teams, building leadership programs, and watching what separates the organizations that scale with purpose from the ones that scale into chaos.She founded Audacia because the conversations leaders are having now, about AI, scale, headcount, pressure, are getting answered with the wrong playbook. Her take might seem counter-intuitive: to speed up, we must first slow down. As you'll hear us talk about, audacia is the latin word for being bold, courageous, or brave.  What I love about it all is that, to me, Audacia has a softness to it that sets it apart from the harshness that I sometimes feel associated with being bold and standing out.  You'll hear us talk more about and explore this, along with so much more.Nicole, thank you for sharing your stories and your wisdom.  Thank you for being an authentic and bold -- audacious -- leader.  You are an inspiration and your work is deeply needed in the world!To learn more about Nicole and the work she does, you'll find links here:Audacia website: https://www.audacialeadership.com/homeConnect with Nicole on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicole-morrow-anderson/Support the showMake Life Less Difficult~   Support:buymeacoffee.com/lisatilstra
