Nicole Wood - CEO & Co-Founder of Ama La Vida, is on a mission to create an environment where the team thrives and clients feel empowered. She views her role as a cultivator rather than a commander, investing in coaches' education and valuing client feedback as gospel. Nicole's primary goal is to help clients design careers that bring fulfillment and success, putting an end to the dread of Mondays. She is passionate about making work meaningful, thrilling, and financially rewarding as the traditional clock-in, clock-out culture evolves. With a background in management consulting at PricewaterhouseCoopers, Nicole brings a fresh perspective to the coaching industry, emphasizing rigor, process, and results. At Ama La Vida, working with a coach goes beyond feeling inspired during sessions—it's about making lasting changes in clients' lives even after the sessions end. Recognized as a thought leader, Nicole has been featured in renowned publications like Fortune, Bustle, Monster.com, and Yahoo. She focuses on crafting rewarding careers and fostering a company culture that encourages innovation and individuality. Nicole's determination to help clients love their lives is equally matched by her commitment to creating a phenomenal workplace for ALV staff and coaches. As the driving force behind Ama La Vida, Nicole is leading the organization to be the first coaching company providing a platform for coaches to focus on coaching and amplifying their impact, rather than getting bogged down in business administration. This innovative business model has resulted in rapid growth among their highly skilled and certified coaching team. Nicole firmly believes that this approach will revolutionize coaching, making it affordable and accessible to all who desire it. On a personal level, Nicole hails from Philadelphia but has made Chicago her home after marrying a tall, corn-fed Midwesterner. Alongside her husband, she shares the company of three adorable little dogs. Although she has embraced the Chicago lifestyle, Nicole's East-coast edge remains evident. Known for her humor, adventurous spirit, and wild ideas, she dreams big, laughs heartily, and deeply cares about the work she does. And according to Nicole, every meeting becomes more creative with a glass of champagne! Cheers to Nicole's passion, dedication, and commitment to empowering others through Ama La Vida.
