MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

Nicole "Dr. Nic" Rankine

EDUCATOR | LEADERSHIP & PERSONAL GORWTH STRATEGIST | INTERNATIONAL SPEAKER | AUTHOR | FAITH-DRIVEN COACH

I’m Nicole “Dr. Nic” Rankine. After years of running high-performance systems in science, education, and public health, I found that success without alignment leaves a hollow feeling inside. I traded prestige for purpose, hustle for clarity, and overwork for intentional leadership.

Now, with 20+ years of experience, I help purpose-driven professionals find spiritual and professional alignment, strengthen their voices, and walk confidently in their calling—without sacrificing their well-being.

Having overcome a series of life-altering experiences—from grief and seasons of rejection to burnout, brokenness, and a loss of identity, Dr. Nicole Rankine affectionately known as Dr. Nic, has transformed her pain into a platform and her healing into her life’s work. As a former research scientist turned educator and transformational leadership coach, Dr. Nic walked away from a high-achieving career when she realized success without purpose still leaves you empty.

Today, she uses her own story of resilience, reinvention, and radical faith to help millennial professionals, rising leaders, and purpose-driven visionaries get clear on who they are, why they’re here, and how to live and lead with intention.

As the founder of the COLE Academy of Personal Growth and visionary behind the Adulting In My Purpose movement Dr. Nic’s faith-based courses, coaching programs, and transformational events equip her clients to find their voice, align with their calling, and walk boldly in their God-given assignment. From one-on-one coaching to group intensives and online summits, thousands have been activated through her CLARITY Framework™ to shift from confusion to confidence in life, leadership, and business.

Her mission is simple: to help high-potential professionals break cycles, reclaim their identity, and build purpose-aligned lives that glorify God.

Her core belief is:

“You don’t have to pretend to have it all together. You just have to be willing to show up, heal forward, and walk in who God called you to be. You were born for more. You were built for impact. You were created for clarity. LIVE WITH PURPOSE. LEAD WITH CLAIRTY.
