Episode 305: Retha Nichole

 

I am so happy to welcome my friend, Retha Nichole, back to the podcast. She is no stranger to the show. She was on episodes 74 and 255. She and I go way back and found each other when we were both starting out as podcasters.

Retha’s expertise includes real estate, small business operations as well as helping small business companies figure out how to include diversity and inclusion in their business. She really comes alongside the client to help them find their authentic self.  She is a sought after speaker, trainer and executive coach with a unique perspective on various issues and challenges facing the professional woman.

This is exactly why I had her on the show today. We dive into what to do when you feel stuck—whether that is in business or life. She packs so much wisdom and clarity into this short conversation. I took many notes while chatting and I think you will too. So pull up a chair and join the conversation.
