Shifting Your HOW to Create More Moments of WOW

Life shouldn’t just be about surviving but thriving. And it’s easy to keep doing what has always worked, but often times, doing what you’ve always done will not take you to places you’ve never been. After all, it’s risky to try something new and the fear of failure can often paralyze us from making the changes that need to be made.​ But how do we break through the fear of failure to reach the other side of the breakthrough of a new idea and a new way of doing things? And how do we make sure that we are succeeding at the things that truly matter? In other words, how do we make sure that we just aren’t climbing the ladder but it’s also leaning against the right wall? Nolan Nichols has a new mindset to teach us.

Discover the profound impact of heightened self-awareness, learn strategies to build more peaks into our lives, and explore the subtle yet potent shifts in our daily habits that pave the way for elevated moments of joy and fulfillment. Join us as we unleash strategies to elevate our wellbeing through the magic of wonder, celebration, and conscious living.

Overcoming the Things that Hold Us Back

Our world can sometimes feel like a constant avalanche of setbacks – feeling like we take one step forward one day and two steps backwards the next. The headwinds and challenges can have our teams feeling exhausted, drained or even burned out. This can come in the form of Low Mood & Motivation, Emotional Pain & Grief, Self Doubt & Fear, or Stress. And often times, it can be a combination of those factors which just increases the weight we feel on our lives. But what if it didn’t have to be this way?

Just like how an airplane uses less fuel and is more efficient when taking off against the wind, what if the headwinds in our lives actually brought us higher instead of bringing us down? Nolan Nichols has crafted a system to turn the headwinds into moments of lift & elevation in our lives by tackling the headwinds thrown our way head-on. We don’t have to feel like the challenges in our industry, organizations and personal lives have to bring us down – we can thrive not in-spite of the challenges but because of them.

​By taking inventory of what’s holding us back, we can unleash the power that the headwinds bring.

​Attendees will:

  • Learn how to lead their teams and organizations through challenging circumstances
  • Uncover new perspectives of the hidden power of headwinds
  • Reflect upon the strongest headwinds in their teams, organizations and personal lives, and what we have control over in our response
  • Discover the power of zooming-out and seeing the bigger picture so that we don’t miss out on what we should be seeing
  • Develop a new lens to view challenging moments in our lives and teams
