Part 1: Close Up Radio Welcomes Back Nicole Coustier of Aurelian Coaching

Vallejo, CA – Nicole Coustier is a certified executive performance and life coach and the founder of Aurelian Coaching, where she helps professionals improve their decision-making skills.

“The key to strong decision-making is being crystal clear about where you want to end up,” says Nicole. “Make sure you like the reason you're doing what you're doing.”

Of course, it's often hard to access that part of ourselves. Nicole encourages truly unfiltered, nonjudgmental brainstorming.

Through this unfiltered, nonjudgmental brainstorming, teams break down what at first feels like facts, but reveal themselves to be conventions. Pushing the envelope often yields some underlying truth that actually gives teams clarity and helps them perform better. Through ongoing coaching, people become very practiced at unfiltered brainstorming and problem solving either for themselves or further projects at work.

Life coaching and mindset management allowed Nicole to go from being a directionless widow in March of 2019 to opening her own coaching practice the following January. Today, Nicole offers a Working Widow program for women just like her.

“When people are in the throes of grief, there is a point where people must accept that life is just never going to be the same,” says Nicole.

“People are afraid of change, but the reality is when your spouse passes, everything changes,” says Nicole. “My widows want some measure of control, but they're scared. It's the coaching that really surfaces their reasons for doing things, their motivation, to make sound decisions that are right for them to build a future.”
