Nicole’s Top 3 Pieces of Career Advice:

Best Career Advice I’ve Received: “Look at a situation from every side of the Coke can”  This analogy reminds me of the importance of examining situations from all angles before forming an opinion or making a decision. By applying this mindset, I’ve been able to navigate complex situations more effectively and make more balanced, thoughtful decisions.

Most Stressful Time In My Career: The most stressful time in my career was when I led the HR integration of a company that was acquired, while also trying to be a good mom to my four-year-old daughter. Through this experience, I learned valuable lessons about time management, resilience, and the importance of seeking support. It taught me how to prioritize effectively and reinforced the importance of maintaining work-life integration, even in the most demanding times.

Most Memorable Moment In My Career: The most memorable moment in my career was when my team and I won Cargill’s HR Business Partner award.  Winning this award was a milestone that inspired me to continue striving for excellence and innovation in my work. It was a reminder of the power of teamwork and the importance of recognizing and celebrating successes, both big and small.
