About Me

HeadshotMy name is Nicole Colter and I run the business programs at Three Rivers Community College where I support my students through the creative process from self-discovery through self-actualization. 

I am passionate about creativity, entrepreneurship, and self-directed education. After being self-employed for over 12 years I left business to work in a high school running the freshmen class service learning program while pursuing graduate studies at the International Center for Studies in Creativity (ICSC). During those years I realized that everything that made me successful as a business owner was not being taught or cultivated in schools and that it was my ability to self-direct my own learning that allowed me to excel at building three different businesses without any prior knowledge of, or training in, those industries.

I believe self-directed education is the answer to the creativity crisis and that we need to completely transform how we structure schools. That is why I am a member of the Alliance for Self-Directed Education, Agile Learning Centers (ALC) network, and Alternative Education Resource Organization.

I also offer services to anyone motivated to make significant changes personally (individually or as a family), and/or professionally (individually or as a team).  Depending on your goals, I offer:

  • Creative Problem-Solving Facilitation
  • Creativity Training
  • Dynamic Change Coaching
  • Agile Team Training and/or Coaching
  • Agile for Families Training and/or Coaching

I help clients clarify their vision or challenge and to work through the transformation and implementation stages so that effective change can become reality.  I also help teams and families use agile principles to improve their collaboration and culture.

  1. Hi Nicole!
    I didn’t get a chance to have a meaningful conversation with you over the weekend and would welcome that opportunity when you have some time.

      Catherine,
      I’m sad to say that I hadn’t been checking my web comments over the past months and I missed this. Thanks for hosting my visit to Workspace after AEROx. Missed you at AERO 2018.
      Nicole
