The Relationship Advantage: Cultivating a Referral Culture That Benefits EveryoneJoin us for a powerful conversation on how to build a referral culture rooted in trust, collaboration, and genuine connection. In this session, Nicole Skeene will share practical strategies for creating relationships that open doors, strengthen your business, and elevate the people around you.
With nearly three decades of experience in leadership, professional development, and education, Nicole brings a rare blend of insight, strategy, and heart. As a Talent Acquisition Specialist with Northwestern Mutual, she is known for helping professionals identify their strengths, leverage their transferable skills, and step confidently into new opportunities.
Nicole’s background as a Master of Education and long‑time instructional leader — including ten years working internationally — gives her a global perspective and a deeply human approach to professional growth. She is passionate about building equitable environments, optimizing the candidate experience, and connecting high‑caliber talent with meaningful career paths.
Today, Nicole uses data‑driven sourcing strategies to build strong talent pipelines across Polk County, all while maintaining her signature high‑touch, integrity‑focused style.
Outside of work, she’s a lifelong learner who loves traveling, reading, and spending time with her three children.
