Nicole Brooks is a communications strategist, equity advocate, and public sector leader with over 15 years of experience in healthcare, government, and cultural transformation. She brings a systems lens and a human voice to complex issues — from anti-Black racism in healthcare to neurodivergent leadership in public service.

About Nicole 

I'm a a strategic communicator, speaker, and writer working at the intersection of health systems, equity, and identity. I've spent over 15 years helping public institutions — including Nova Scotia Health and government partners — tell better stories, shape better policy, and make better decisions.

A former freelance writer with a background in media training, partner engagement, and internal transformation, I bring sharp thinking and a soft heart to the toughest conversations — from anti-Black racism in healthcare to neurodivergent leadership in public systems. 

 

I believe: 

  • Clarity builds trust.

  • Representation is not the same as equity.

  • Policy is personal — and people deserve to understand it.

  • We can’t change systems without changing how we speak about them.

 

I’m a single mom of two amazing kids, a lifelong writer, and someone who believes leadership doesn’t have to be cold to be credible.

Work with Me 

I take on a small number of projects each quarter. If we align, I’d love to connect.

​

Strategic Communications Consulting
Advisory support on healthcare comms, internal engagement, DEI storytelling, and crisis clarity. Available for select projects.

 

Speaking & Moderation
Conference keynotes, panels, workshops, or hosting across health, leadership, and equity topics.

​

Speaking & Events

Let me bring some clarity, warmth, and lived perspective to the discussion. I speak on the intersections of healthcare, identity, and leadership — always with the goal of making hard topics easier to hold.

I love to lead conversations on: 

  • Health equity without performative DEI

  • Strategic comms for public sector leadership

  • Neurodivergent women in the workplace

  • Leading with your full identity

  • Parenting, policy, and what systems forget
