real-world lessons about achieving success in a career where few women had gone before. Invite her to speak at your next event.
Here’s the description of Nicole’s new talk, Breaking Barriers. She's already delivered it with great success to a half-dozen women’s conferences with more scheduled for the future. It's an ideal presentation for women in business:
BREAKING BARRIERS: CONQUERING SELF-DOUBT
AND CULTURAL PARADIGMS
Every great accomplishment involves breaking barriers – both culturally and within. Nicole Malachowski is a trailblazer who succeeded in a traditionally male-dominated career field: the world of the fighter pilot. As uncomfortable and risky as stretching the limits of yourself and your surroundings might be, Nicole tells audiences there’s no reason to allow that to dictate your goals and aspirations. She became one of the first women to fly a modern-day fighter aircraft, the very first woman to fly with the Air Force Thunderbird aerial demonstration team, and she was inducted into the Women in Aviation International Pioneer Hall of Fame. She is relatable to women and men with a fascinating narrative of exactly what it took to be a woman vanguard and break tradition. Nicole offers actionable tools and real-world lessons about pursuing her dream, making choices, all while building a family and achieving success in a career where few women had gone before. Nicole inspires audiences with a message rooted in her personal mantra –
“Nobody wants to lead a scripted life.”
