Key Elements of Our Program
POST-PROGRAM SUPPORT AND CONTINUED LEARNING
Nicole Cruz Coaching is committed to the ongoing success of its clients. We provide a roadmap for continued growth and transformation beyond the program
CULTURALLY-INFORMED COACHING
We believe in a coaching approach that goes beyond the generic. At Nicole Cruz Coaching, we understand that 1st and 2nd generation immigrants often navigate unique challenges, shaped by a confluence of cultural norms, familial expectations, societal stereotypes, and the nuanced experiences of living between two cultures. Traditional coaching methods may overlook these complexities, leaving these individuals feeling unsupported or misunderstood. Recognizing this, we've crafted our coaching program to specifically address these challenges and to empower our clients to navigate them effectively. We incorporate cultural sensitivity and understanding into every aspect of our program, providing a tailored coaching experience that truly resonates with and supports our clients' unique journeys.
COMMUNITY
Nicole Cruz Coaching fosters a sense of community among clients. Participants will not only have the opportunity to learn and grow individually, but they will also have the chance to interact, collaborate, and share experiences with others going through a similar journey. This supportive environment helps to accelerate personal growth and leadership development.

Nicole Cruz, our coach, is not only well-versed in leadership development and mindset coaching, but she is also deeply empathetic. She has a unique ability to understand and relate to the experiences of her clients, providing a safe, compassionate, and understanding environment to learn and grow. Additionally, she has been trained to facilitate trauma-informed spaces.

" I was able to reframe my limitations to actionable strengths, all while feeling seen and held by grace & empathy."
“I am so grateful for Nicole's extraordinary coaching super-power. I was going through a career season where I knew that I needed to take more agency of my career, but hadn't quite identified what my barriers are. In 6 weeks of working with [Nicole], I was able to reframe my limitations to actionable strengths, all while feeling seen and held by grace & empathy.
Thank you for your investment in me, Nicole. I see myself coming to you in every season of my evolving career identity.”

" Nicole was with me every step of the way in crafting a vision for my future, and giving me the tools to bring it all to life"
When I first started, I felt completely lost, unworthy of success, and didn't even have a clue what my dreams were.
Nicole was with me every step of the way in crafting a vision for my future, and giving me the tools to bring it all to life. I now feel like I'm actively following through on my path to success - something I just simply could not have envisioned for myself six months ago.

“I felt so seen and understood through Nicole’s trauma informed, kids of immigrant context while I was a client of hers.
There have been these repetitive interactions in my life that I desperately wanted to understand, yet didn’t have the language to describe it. I got answers to the experiences I’ve gone through to become a better leader. Thank you, Nicole!”
