We will certainly be recommending her to all of our colleagues and friends!

“Nicole has a multi-faceted story of overcoming adversity to achieve peak performance and she has adapted to tell that story in a compelling way during this time of virtual leadership meetings.

An indomitable spirit whose life journey adds such warmth and depth to her powerful message. She is relatable to women and men with a fascinating narrative of overcoming trials and tribulations all while being an unwitting trailblazer in aviation, in leadership, in social awareness and in medical care.

You touched my team with your brilliant and meaningful storytelling and have inspired them with your leadership and very practical tips on how to manage headwinds. You captivated their hearts and minds—and it was exactly the kind of closing I wanted to end our week of planning sessions.

“Everyone…I mean everyone…left raving about your message. As you can imagine being in healthcare as executive I hear a lot of people speak. You are an exceptional speaker and have an incredible message to share with anyone that’s looking at ways to be motivated to improve themselves. So yes, count me in as a card holding member of your fan club”

The outpouring of support, after two standing ovations and many tears, made it clear her message resonated with everyone in attendance.”

“Colonel Nicole Malachowski recently spoke to the senior leaders in my company and did an outstanding job. In fact, I cannot recall another speaker where there was such high universal praise. She is inspiring, authentic, energizing, and a true American hero. More than a week later, there is still abuzz in the organization and I have zero doubt her remarks will leave a lasting impression on our team to embrace headwinds and navigate change more successfully.”

She is energetic, personable, and authentic – and the audience was riveted throughout her entire presentation. I wholeheartedly recommend Nicole as a speaker!”

“You are easily in my ‘top-5 of all-time’! In addition to be an excellent public speaker in manner, tone and approach, your presentation was stunningly inspiring, moving and motivational. And it wasn’t just a feel-good session. Every person in the room left with business and life-tools to use and share. But most of all, each and every one of us left the room with a more grateful heart. For me, this is the home run of home runs as we attempt to bring some light to the lives of our employees and clients.”

“Such an amazing presentation today by Nicole. I just don’t even have words to describe how she hit it out of the park – pure awesomeness!”

“She was outstanding and delivered an authentic, actionable message that hit home for every executive — male or female — who is trying to set clear goals, break barriers and improve their career path. Her thought-provoking message was delivered with passion and authority. She left our audience of leading women with a clear path to achieve greatness, create change and make better, brave decisions.”

“She has a compelling personal as well as professional story to tell. And she does it with a passion and vulnerability that create a strong connection with her audience. Five minutes into her presentation, you could tell that she had our group hooked. Her presentation resonated so deeply with our audience that people are still talking about her presentation a week later and employees who could not attend are asking to see the video of her presentation. Nicole is professional, organized, timely, and an all-around pleasure to work with. She was thoughtful in researching our organization and event so she could craft her discussion to fit our audience.”

“Col. Nicole Malachowski took our financial professionals by storm – three weeks later, people are still talking about her. She has a unique gift of being able to relate her very interesting and exciting professional and personal life experiences to a diverse audience in a completely different profession. Her genuine conversational style made each attendee feel she was talking directly to them.”

The American Forest & Paper Association highly recommends Nicole as a speaker. Her passionate storytelling and ability to connect with the audience will no doubt make her a public speaking star!

Working with Nicole Malachowski has been one of the highlights of my career. Not only was she very personable and spoke to everyone that wanted her attention, but as a keynote, she absolutely nailed it! She took the time to call me beforehand and tailored her speech EXACTLY to our audience.

In my 14 years of working with our Conference speakers, I have never had such an immediate flood of positive feedback from our members regarding Nicole’s session. Nicole spoke on the first day of our event and I still had people talking about the session four days later at the end of the event.

Nicole Malachowski shares a powerful message of perseverance and resilience.  She is able to connect with her audience by being deeply authentic and vulnerable in her story telling.  We related to her on a personal level even though our individual stories and experiences differ greatly from her own.  We all have challenges in our lives and how we choose to face those headwinds of change will be a little less daunting by taking Nicole’s lessons and putting them into practice.

Nicole left our entire audience in AWE and for the remainder of the conference she was a reference point for conversations and motivation in how we could develop plans to overcome challenges of our own. If you ever have the opportunity to see or hear Nicole speak it is a must see event that will not disappoint!

“Book her now! I have worked with many speakers throughout my career and by far Nicole is the best. Easy to work with, engaged and humble. She did her homework and tied in our mission to her remarks and hit the nail on the head on how our audience of over 800 people can work together as a team. She was funny, passionate and drove home her points. We had attendees lined up for 45 minutes afterward to speak to her personally and she was gracious in speaking to every one of them.”

“A true honor and blessing to have Nicole Malachowski, (USAF, RET.) ignite our leadership team with her amazing story and real-life examples helping us all break through barriers. Nicole was able to read her audience and connect her points to our role as leaders in healthcare and truly engaged the entire team. Rarely do you have someone like her tell their story and authentically connect with the audience in such a way that people walk away inspired and motivated with tools and tips fueling us to reach even higher and beyond the boundaries to make a difference each and every day.”

“Nicole’s story is inspiring and touching as she shares the motivations, breakthroughs and lessons learned through a career of firsts and leadership lessons.  She shares her story in a humble and humorous way – you’ll laugh, gasp and shed a tear as she inspires your team to ‘Push the Envelope’.  We’ve been hosting leadership sessions every quarter for several years, and Nicole delivered our highest rated session yet.”

“Our event theme was “WOW” (Wonder of Women). Nicole lived up to that acronym and more. Her story, presence on the stage, and great personality left 550 women speechless. There wasn’t a person in the audience that wasn’t impressed, and inspirited that they too could reach for the stars and make their dreams come true. What a remarkable woman!”
