It became apparent at our first discussion that Nicole not only had impressive credentials and experience, but she also had the “x-factor”–that intangible trait that so many others lack–that would make the experience so impactful. Nicole has a real ability to be able to distill information to the material issues. She is also adept at identifying and applying appropriate techniques to help overcome barriers and move forward. However, the real secret to Nicole’s success is her approach and style. She is the consummate professional, with the perfect balance between encouragement/kindness and naming the issues with a frank assuredness.

Dr. Lipkin possesses a unique insight into individual personalities and the social dynamics resulting from interpersonal and group interactions. Her focus on cultivating an understanding and appreciation for individual differences leads her to identify productive, innovative solutions to workplace challenges. As a former client, my experience in working with Dr. Lipkin proved overwhelmingly positive. Her work with my company resulted in a shift toward mutual respect and strategies to develop work-life balance policies that are improving both employee morale and performance.

Nicole channeled her frustration with business status quo into creating one of the hippest consulting firms on the East Coast. She is smart, talented, knows the world of business from both the national and international perspectives, and, if that isn’t enough, wrote an informative and accessible book that I have recommended endlessly.

Nicole is an inspiring, dedicated, and motivational person. Through her coaching and leadership, we are now able to say that our business is much stronger, our employees are much more reliable, and our practices are much more stable as a result of the lessons learned.

One of the most personable and professional people I know. Nicole has a head for business but has never lost the bedside manner that all coaches must have to succeed in their field. I don’t think there’s an end to the amount of good advice she can give, whether for your body, soul or business.

As a young Internet marketing consultant, I have the skills and technical tools to assist any client but did not have the business skills to go with it. Nicole helped me to formalize my business, guided me through setting reasonable goals for its growth, and assisted in establishing an efficient plan for its progress. She worked with me to understand key elements of my business that were completely missing, such as networking initiatives, personal growth within the field, and dividing work and personal life. Over the past six months, my clientele has grown, I’ve become more effective in handling their work, and simply put, my business has grown.

As a Director in one of the largest insurance companies in the world, it is extremely important to be effective at working with employees across generations. Dr. Lipkin was extremely professional and attentive to my needs and concerns and provided me with invaluable information, consultation and coaching. She is an excellent coach and I look forward to working with her more in the future.

“Working with the Equilibria team was amazing. We worked primarily with Kayla, who helped us navigate the scariest time for our business: the Covid-19 pandemic. We went from a business of always saying yes to a business of saying no overnight, and it was very jarring for our team. Kayla led several group call and breakout sessions in which the team could be honest about the stress they were going through. So many people felt her warmth, and a lot of our team members credit her for getting them through some of the darkest days of the pandemic.”

“Our experience with Equilibria has been nothing short of life-changing. Their coaching is tailored to each individual, recognizing what motivates them and what makes them tick. They have become an essential part of our team, and their support has been priceless.”

Words cannot express how terrific Dr. Nicole Lipkin was with her Mental Agility keynote. One month later we are still getting compliments on her session and people approaching us for her information. She is the first call when we need to bring spirits up and reassure our people and our clients that YES THEY CAN do anything as long as they intentionally put the practical strategies she talks about in place.
