""Navigating the final years of your career can be just as uncertain as the first. When my director role was eliminated, I found myself unexpectedly in limbo—unsure whether to take a lower-level position or make a bold move. That’s when I turned to Nickquolette Barrett.
Our coaching sessions—some over the phone and one over a soul-nourishing breakfast—helped me clear the fog. Nickquolette didn’t just talk strategy; she listened deeply, asked powerful questions, and helped me map out a plan that honored both my expertise and the career legacy I want to leave behind.
She has an extraordinary ability to find the hidden gems in your experience, show you how to leverage them, and empower you to move forward with clarity and confidence. Her energy, insight, and compassion are unmatched. If you’re in a career transition—especially near retirement—Nickquolette is the strategist you want in your corner."
or navigate a sensitive career transition—you need more than a document.
BOARDROOM BOUND
The Senior Leader's Playbook for Landing Your First Board Position

If you're a C-suite executive, VP, or Director facing a complex career transition— whether it's a strategic exit, a 20-year narrative that needs repositioning, or a pivot into uncharted territory—you're in the right place.
I don't write résumés. I architect executive positioning strategies.
The résumé? That's just one artifact of our strategic work together.
What you really get is someone who....
→ Conducts a deep strategic intake call to understand the political nuances of your career
→ Positions executives with years of complex narratives for their next move
→ Navigates sensitive situations: unexpected exits, career gaps, industry pivots
→ Architects your personal brand across LinkedIn, executive bio, board profiles, and more
→ Develops your executive presence and market positioning from the inside out
This is work artificial intelligence (AI) CAN'T do.
AI can't ......
🚫 spend 2 hours understanding the unspoken dynamics of a C-suite career transition.
🚫 read between the lines of why you're
really leaving.
🚫 position you for a board seat when your career path doesn't follow the traditional playbook.
But I CAN. And I've done it 1200+ times. (and counting.....)

If you’re a high-achieving professional ready to position yourself for a multiple six-figure role and beyond, you’re exactly where you need to be.
With 26 years of corporate leadership at a Fortune 36 company, an MS in Leadership and Organizational Development, six elite career certifications, four industry awards, authorship, and a 98 percent client interview success rate within ninety days, I create high-impact career campaigns that open doors and close multi six-figure offers with bonuses and stock.
I’ve also spent the past two years deeply studying and applying AI in my own business. Now I leverage that same AI plus human expertise for my clients. You get the strategy, intuition, and insight of a seasoned executive coach combined with the precision, efficiency, and innovation of AI, a powerful combination that elevates your entire career campaign.
My work is anchored in faith, strategy, and excellence. I believe we are called to show up with intention and integrity, and that includes how we present ourselves professionally.
I didn’t start this for recognition. I started by helping colleagues who wondered how I kept advancing. A small favor turned into a purpose-driven business once I saw how my God-given gift could change lives.
Today I coach executive leaders with a straightforward approach that blends real-world insight, soul-level encouragement, and boardroom-ready positioning, all with a little humor to keep things light.
Through my iW.I.N.2, E.P.I.C., C3, and iRock S.T.A.R. frameworks, I help clients step into opportunities they once thought were out of reach.
My mission is simple, to help you compete and win. I pair strategy wand AI savviness with empowerment so you not only reach your goals but grow into the leader you are designed to be.
When I’m not coaching, I’m speaking, writing, or sharing about faith, growth, and purpose, because your career should elevate your life, not just your work.
If you’re ready to stop second-guessing your worth and finally get hired for the role you deserve, let’s talk.

I wanted to transition from retail management into another industry and was not having a lot of luck because I was typecast by employers based on my previous job titles. There was no consideration for the fact that the majority of my skill sets were transferrable.
Nickquolette was able to frame my resume such that those skills were highlighted and showcased. Based on our consultation she was even able draw out things I had not taken into account and expand the scope of those skill sets.
