I’m Nicole Haney

Award Winning CEO | Business Professor | Keynote Speaker

I'm passionate, adventurous, and believe in living life to it's fullest.

In 2015, I left my corporate job to start a health food bakery at a local farmer’s market.

I had no idea what I was doing. I had never started a business before and - more than that - I had never even worked in the food industry.

But I knew that life is too short to not be doing something I loved.

So, I jumped in. And in just 4 years, I scaled that tiny farmer’s market bakery to a national energy bar business serving hundreds of retailers across Canada, including grocery store chains, and was named Top 20 Under 40 for my business achievements.

It was the adventure of a lifetime. But eventually I realized that the food industry wasn’t the right fit for me and I pivoted into the consulting and education space.

I began helping entrepreneurs figure out the steps they needed to take to build their businesses, think strategically, and reach their goals.

I also started teaching in a Business Management program, helping students learn how to become effective business leaders, and became one of the top-rated Business Professors at Fanshawe College.

Which was when I realized:

I love helping others learn how to effectively build and lead businesses.

Building on my experience as an entrepreneur, my educational background in Psychology and Human Resources, and my passion for teaching, I’ve become a sought-after consultant and trainer, helping business leaders across North America gain insights on how to think strategically, lead more effectively, and reach their business goals.

As a Business & Leadership Consultant and Speaker, I’ve been honoured to work with organizations around the world, including Ivey Business School, California State University, and SBDC New York.

And I’m incredibly passionate about helping business leaders find success and reach their goals.

Now…

When I’m not training or consulting, you’ll probably find me at the beach, exploring the world, or researching ways to move to a tropical location (Hawaii, here we come!)

I love exploring a new place for the very first time, swimming in the ocean, getting lost in a great story, and savouring incredibly delicious food.

I practice running (but I don’t know my time or any metrics), consume personal growth podcasts like my life depends on it, and truly believe that we are capable of reaching our dreams.

I am funny, upbeat, and love inspiring others to become the best version of themselves and live their happiest life.
