It's exhausting pretending to be someone else at work. And it's exhausting pretending to be the expert in something when you're clearly not.
That's why authenticity matters, alongside building strong relationships and the best team you can get to fill your own knowledge gaps.
With all of that, you can go into areas you never thought possible, and solve challenges that have long been experienced by women but too often ignored and overlooked.
In Nicole's case, that area is health tech and reproductive health, given the company she founded Kin Fertility, which offers an express pill subscription and delivery service.
Nicole speaks to Shirley Chowdhary for the first episode of Seasons Five of The Leadership Lessons, the Women's Agenda series on how to lead for the future ahead. She explains the idea behind Kin, how she brought it to life, and the leadership principles and ideas that have supported her work.
The Leadership Lessons is made possible thanks to the excellent support of Salesforce. It's produced by Agenda Media, publisher of Women's Agenda. You can find more on this episode and on Nicole, here.
