With close to two decades of experience across stage, screen and leadership roles, Nicole is widely recognised for her work in confidence, visibility and personal impact.

As an official TEDx speaker coach and founder of the SHEspeaks Academy, she has worked with women across Australia to strengthen their presence, develop their voice and step into leadership with greater clarity and conviction.

At the lunch Nicole will introduce her powerful philosophy – Visibility isn’t vanity – reminding women that being seen, heard and expressed is not self-promotion, but a necessity, especially in an AI-driven world.

Her message speaks to both established leaders and those building their influence, making her a natural fit for CATO’s annual celebration of women in travel.

“Nicole’s keynote will be both energising and relevant, and a meaningful addition to this important CATO event,” said Brett Jardine, Managing Director of CATO.

“Her work around confidence and visibility strongly reflects the experiences of many women in our industry.”

The 2026 CATO IWD Lunch promises an afternoon of celebration, industry connection and insight into the achievements and aspirations of women across the travel sector. Attendees can look forward to thought-provoking conversation and lively networking.

Event details:
March 10, 11:45am – 3:30pm, The Calile Hotel, Brisbane, QLD
