Title: Being Bad + Brilliant: How Standout Leaders Break Rules and Inspire Others
Length: 30-120 minutes
Abstract: Niko teaches women how to undo their “goodgirl” training and differentiate themselves from the crowd to be magnetic leaders and influencers on their own terms.

We are taught to be good, compliant, rule followers before we hit the first grade.
By the time we’re getting hitched and eying the corner office, we’re expert good girls. The perfect woman, executive, Mom, wife - who does it all.

But following the rules and being good only makes us exhausted and boring.
We end up looking, sounding, and acting like every other women in our sector and our yoga class.

To feel awake, alive, and to be truly brilliant - we need to ditch good and find our truth.
We need to let that truth lead us, even when it feels scary, uncomfortable, and unpopular. That will change your life, your business, and the world!

During Niko’s edgy, loving, interactive talk, you will learn the Bad & Brilliant system her clients use to create astounding results.  
You will learn to:
Be Bad - See how you are following a set of rules in nearly every area of your life, decide which you want to ditch, rewrite, or keep.

Be Blissed - Make four promises that will get you to your best self within weeks and do whatever it takes to keep these promises.

Be Bold - Stop saying yes when you mean no AND start asking for MORE.

SPEECH ABSTRACTS

Title: Stop Saying YES When You Mean NO: How Learning to Say No will Generate the Time + Energy You Need for Your Goals
Length: 30-90 minutes
Abstract: We learn early to override our NO in order to be “good” women. We ignore that little voice in our heads that says, “This isn’t exactly what I want to do,” and we do it anyway, putting off our goals and dreams.

This workshop teaches you the simple, life changing, and often elusive habit of finding your most powerful
“yeses” in life by learning how to use your “no” a whole lot more.  You’ll learn:

• The #1 reason women’s dreams gather dust while work, family, and life roll forward
• The six most important “nos” to start saying (and why to start before you’re ready)
• The toxic impact unconscious “yeses” have on to our body, our bank account, and our relationships
• What to do with other people’s discomfort when you start to say NO

SPEECH ABSTRACTS

Title: Go For The NO! How Hearing "No" On the Daily Will Achieve Your Most Audacious Results
Length: 30-90 minutes
Abstract: One of the most powerful ways to achieve more is to fall in love with NO.

Most women experience NO as failure. This workshop will explain the science behind why your brain processes NO as danger and why we avoid it at all costs.  Niko will teach you a simple system to neutralize your experience of NO by using both your brain and your body. As part of this talk every participant will take on the "Going For NO" Challenge for 7 Days. You will learn why asking for things that you are sure you will be denied helps you achieve the most audacious results in your life.

TESTIMONIALS

I showed up thinking this was a friendly women’s empowerment talk. DAMN was I wrong. I walked away knowing I needed to drop the BS and start being ME. So I did.  I’ve raised my rates, I’m making more than I have ever in my life. I needed someone to allow me to be my bad girl self. Thank you.

I felt unsure in life and in business and wasn’t clear on my direction for my business. After your course I know how to ask for help, how to take the important small steps to get to the BIG success. I have gained clarity on what is needed to succeed my way. And more importantly, I feel more confident in myself as a woman and an entrepreneur. I feel stronger, larger, and more determined on my path than ever.

Through your speaking and your workshops I achieved goals I didn’t even think I would ever establish. I’ve learned that with support, love, and goal setting, anything is possible.

Thank you for your work. I have gained clarity and an unexpected sense of self I didn’t know was possible. I learned to believe in myself and in my inherent adequacy. I feel like I have truly triumphed. I feel more deeply rooted to myself and this beautiful community.
