Enjoyed most of my first 17+ years as a marketer both in agency and at a global beverage company, culminating with a game-time decision of becoming a partner in a Multi-National ad agency – which I declined. This evolved into a career pivot where I realized I wanted to market people I believed in, rather than brands. Today I focus on networking. I’ve had the opportunity to connect hundreds of exceptional people to great companies where they’ve worked to further their careers. Through this journey, I have experienced the fun & pain, inspiration & desperation, and trials & tribulation of all aspects of work/life. Nicol Kalman, C.E.O & FounderWork Journey
Proud of
Being a dedicated mother and (hopefully) positive role model to my children. By being authentic to myself and who I am, I have had the courage (insanity) to stop/change/elevate myself through what appeared to be difficult situations and now lead a team of 10 as an entrepreneur focused on making a difference in peoples’ lives. aNIthing is Possible (AIP) if you MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
What other people say about Nicol:
- “She’s authentic, natural and provocative.”
- “I feel somehow better after talking with her about life, kids, love, work – no matter how direct and straightforward the conversation.”
- “I love the no B.S. approach – so refreshingly honest.”
