Nicole is the consummate DEI professional! From the time our organization first approached her about possibly facilitating a session with us, she was on top of all of the details. We had a vision for the event, but she was the one to make it happen. She took our ideas for a session and turned them into a thought-provoking, deep learning opportunity that resonated with all with each of the attendees. I would recommend her to anyone seeking to grow a DEI skillset among the individuals in their organization.

Nicole rocked the house at our conference!  In my 30 years with my organization, Nicole facilitated the best workshop we have ever had.  I so appreciate her ability to get important and difficult conversations going and how she focused the group on the real issues at hand.  Nicole did her homework in advance and really connected with the audience.  She is a skilled and thoughtful facilitator who works well with a variety of people with diverse backgrounds and ideas.

Targeted, tactical and talented – three words that describe Nicole Yeldell-Butts’ expert and nimble moderation of the second event in the Executive Conversations for Change series – Building a Diverse, Equitable and Inclusive Culture.   Nicole exceeded my expectations as she adroitly combined probing, insightful questions with cogent and digestible summaries of the topics discussed, ensuring that the audience received actionable steps to assist with their own DEI initiatives.  I look forward to my next opportunity to work with Nicole to leverage her DEI strategic and coaching expertise as we endeavor to contribute to this important area.

Thank you, Nicole for moderating our women’s panel.   Your approach which is mixed with professionalism and a comfortable warmth was a perfect balance for all to get the most out of the event.   The participants as well as the panelists loved your calm demeanor and manner in which you tee’d up the questions.  Makes all the difference in the world to have a professional expert.
