Where Institutional Strategy Meets Individual Authority

Executive Leadership Coaching for Senior Women & Strategic Advisory for Institutions

Willow Bees Group provides executive leadership coaching for senior women on their path to the C-suite — and strategic advisory for executive teams and boards committed to moving resources with precision and integrity.

We work across two integrated bodies of work: coaching the senior women inside institutions who are ready to lead and be compensated at their true level, and advising foundations, corporations, and nonprofits on how to move meaningful resources toward communities that have historically been underinvested.

Nicole founded Willow Bees Group after 25 years at the center of institutional philanthropy, corporate responsibility, and organizational strategy. Before founding the firm, she led community affairs and partnership strategy at Prudential Financial and built two consulting practices serving Fortune 500 companies, national foundations, education leaders, and nonprofits.

Across every engagement, the outcome has been consistent: moving meaningful resources, with clarity and rigor, to the people and places most often overlooked.

Today, Willow Bees Group operates across two integrated practices — and both are rooted in the same conviction: lasting, equitable impact requires calibrated leadership at every level.

The Power, Visibility & Identity Reset™ is designed for Sr. Directors, VPs, and senior founders who are already performing above their current positioning — and are ready for their compensation, authority, and visibility to reflect that.


The work is grounded in 25 years of institutional experience across philanthropy, corporate responsibility, and organizational strategy. The focus is precision: closing the specific gap between performance and positioning, rather than general leadership development.


Engagements are structured around philanthropic strategy, corporate social responsibility, grantmaking design, board governance, and cross-sector partnership development — always tied to measurable outcomes.
