Uncaged Conversations are intimate, small-group gatherings designed to create a brave space for reflection, truth-telling, and intentional growth. Rooted in trust and community, these conversations invite participants to name the “cages” that are holding them back—whether internal patterns, limiting beliefs, or external pressures- and to choose one they’re ready to begin dismantling.
Each Uncaged Conversation begins with a grounding exercise to help you center yourself and connect inward. From there the group is guided through a carefully crafted series of prompts that invite honest reflection around the personal or professional “cages” holding you back. In a small group setting, you’ll share your reflections aloud, listen deeply to others, and receive supportive witnessing—no fixing, no judgment. The experience culminates with each person naming one cage they’re ready to begin dismantling and claiming a small, intentional next step forward.
“It opened up room for me to dream. It fostered space to give myself permission to reach.
It opened up a door for me to hope.”
“It’s not a small thing to talk about real and deep stuff and form even deeper connections on a workday. My cup is full.”
“I left feeling seen, cared for, and connected. What a beautiful way to start the weekend.”
Join for an intimate two-hour session to help you reconnect with yourself and the truth you may be quietly carrying.Expect real talk. Quiet breakthroughs. Welcoming community. Delicious refreshments. A free private follow-up 1:1 consultation.
“I felt so much connection, kinship, and a profound sense of feeling understood—both in the way people listened and in hearing bits of my own story reflected in others.”

The Liberation Lab is a transformational journey for high-achieving individuals who are tired of navigating success through self-censorship and isolation. It is for those who have played the game, exceeded expectations, and still feel confined by the unspoken rules and quiet compromises that come with trying to make it. This experience invites you to pause, reflect, and realign not just with your goals but with your values, your voice, and your vision for a more liberated way of leading and living.
6 MONTH OVERVIEW
Unlike most professional development programs that prioritize surface-level skills or corporate polish, The Liberation Lab begins with your lived experience. It goes beyond performance metrics to help you confront the internalized and systemic cages that shape how you show up at work and in life. This experience centers your humanity, your intuition, and your story. It’s about cultivating power that is authentic, sustainable, and deeply rooted. You won’t leave with just new tools—you’ll leave with a new relationship to yourself, your purpose, and your path forward.

Our workshops are designed to spark meaningful change for teams, leaders, and organizations. These experiences surface the systemic and personal cages that limit growth, provide practical tools rooted in reflection and action, and guide participants from heightened awareness into real-world transformation. Each workshop is a powerful invitation to shift mindsets, deepen connection, and lead with greater authenticity and freedom. Workshop themes include:
Adapting to Thrive, Not Just Survive
Building Influence Authentically
Discover how to lead with conviction, clarity, and heart. This workshop explores how to expand your impact without compromising your values, voice, or identity—especially in spaces that weren't built with you in mind.
The Subtle Art of Respectful Dissent
Speaking up doesn’t have to mean burning bridges. This session teaches the strategy, emotional intelligence, and courage required to challenge the status quo while preserving integrity and cultivating influence.
Resilience is more than endurance. Learn how to evolve with intention, rewrite limiting narratives, and cultivate practices that support not just survival, but meaningful, sustainable growth—personally and professionally.
The Human Edge in the Age of AI
In a world racing toward automation, our humanity is the superpower. This workshop helps you identify and elevate your uniquely human skills—empathy, creativity, intuition—to lead with relevance and resilience.
ARRANGE YOUR NEXT WORKSHOP
Sometimes, the journey to liberation requires personalized guidance – a wise companion who sees both your brilliant potential and the specific constraints you’re navigating. One-on-one coaching creates a powerful container for transformation tailored precisely to your professional context and soul’s calling.
Working with Nikkia means accessing both strategic brilliance and intuitive wisdom. Both practical navigation tools and soul-deep reflection. Both accountability for action and compassion for your journey.
The Impact In Their Own Words
“I first saw Nikkia a few years ago during a webinar. I remember her presence being warm, confident, and grounded in what I can only describe as “big boss energy.” She carried authority, but was incredibly approachable at the same time.
Later, during a particularly challenging time in my career, I reached out to Nikkia for advice and mentorship. I was struck by her honesty and vulnerability. She didn’t offer generic advice but instead validated my struggles and rooted her guidance in her own real-life experiences. Rather than encouraging me to run from my problems by jumping to a new job, she challenged me to pause and ask the deeper questions. One that stood out was: “How do you want to feel in your job?”
As someone who is naturally analytical, I hadn’t considered that before. With care and insight, she helped me look at my career, personal life, and goals from a new perspective. That shift allowed me to reevaluate my path, which ultimately led me to a new role that actually makes me feel good.
Nikkia also connected me with others in her network, which led to meaningful relationships with other women of color navigating the corporate world. I’m deeply grateful for her coaching and support.
I highly recommend Nikkia to anyone seeking thoughtful, grounded, and transformative guidance in their career journey.”

"Working with Nikkia was a transformative experience in self-reflection and expansion. She pushed me to identify where my internalized beliefs caused me to downplay my experiences, and gave me new, expansive language to talk about my skills and aspirations. I developed valuable talking points for interviews and got much more comfortable telling my career story discussing my strengths. She also helped me identify ways to take ownership of my career through strategic, proactive communication and collaboration mechanisms. I highly recommend working with Nikkia to anyone looking for a challenging but rewarding approach to career planning and personal growth."
