WHAT FUELS ME?
"Empowering others by sharing knowledge, creating global impact, and leaving a legacy!"
—Nicole Ann Hargrove
Unlike the traditional career ladder, which suggests a straight, upward climb, my career journey has been like a jungle gym. I have experienced lateral moves, pauses, swings, and leaps. Each part of the jungle gym represents a different set of experiences and skills.
It's a Jungle Gym not a Ladder!
Ladders represent strategic thinking and leadership. Climbing them means stepping into roles where you're leading teams, making big-picture decisions, and helping drive an organization forward.
Slides require adaptability and learning agility. Sometimes, you're rapidly transitioning to new environments, learning quickly, and applying knowledge in fresh contexts.
Platforms call for goal setting and achievement. They're the resting points where you reflect on accomplishments—earning certifications, completing major projects, or receiving recognition.
Ropes require communication and relationship-building. These experiences test your ability to collaborate, influence, and build networks that support both personal and team success.
Monkey bars call for problem-solving and resilience. These are the challenging moments when you're solving complex problems, facing setbacks, and persisting through obstacles.

The Fun Side of Cole
That's me, in Bitmoji form! My mini me embodies my approachable and friendly style, making it easy to connect with clients, teammates, and continuous learners.
When I am not working, I am at home chilling, hanging with family and friends, traveling, or binge watching a tv series.
