In this episode, Nicolle shares how she gained the skills she needed to gain clarity what she could contribute to the company, improve her executive presence, and develop her team so she could delegate more, which helped her overcome the anxiety she was feeling and allowed her to feel fully confident in her stepping into a new leadership role.
