Many leaders are conditioned to have a narrow view of success. The image of a visionary entrepreneur or a radical new CEO is alluring but doesn’t provide a complete picture. Many successful leaders find flexible, nuanced versions of their lives and give back to their communities. So how do you find that delicate balance?
Cie Nicholson has a storied career that includes a blend of corporate and entrepreneurial experiences and a proven track record of building brands and businesses. She has recently taken a new direction in her career, finding time for both professional ventures and her personal life. Now she offers her experience to others looking to do the same.

They start with Cie’s upbringing, the lessons she took from her leadership positions, and her “soft” retirement.
