Hi, I’m Courtnie Nichols

I believe life and work should be designed with intention — not built around expectations that no longer fit.

After leading a $50M portfolio in higher education fundraising, I stepped away from traditional paths to build and scale experience-driven brands, lead high-impact rooms, and help leaders gain clarity in moments that matter.

Today, my work centers on thought leadership, strategic advising, and designing experiences that move people and businesses forward — with intention, confidence, and momentum.

Let’s Work Together

I partner with leaders, founders, and organizations who value clarity, intentional growth, and thoughtful execution.

My work spans thought leadership, high-impact experiences, and selective strategic advisory — whether that’s leading a room, shaping direction, or supporting pivotal moments of growth and transition.

Speaking, Interviews & Facilitated Experiences

I speak and collaborate at the intersection of leadership, strategy, and experience design, helping audiences think differently, make clearer decisions, and move forward with intention.

With a background spanning fundraising, entrepreneurship, and experience-led brands, I bring a practical, grounded perspective to conversations around growth, influence, and building platforms that last.

Engagements include keynote talks, panels, workshops, and facilitated sessions that are thoughtful, relevant, and actionable.

Strategic Advisory

I work with established travel professionals and agency owners who are navigating growth, evolution, or a pivotal next chapter in their business.

My role is not day-to-day management or tactical coaching. It provides strategic perspective, leadership insight, and access to high-impact rooms where real decisions are made.

This work is designed for professionals who have already built something and are ready to think differently about scale, positioning, leadership, and what comes next.
