Nola Simon's Linkedin Analytics

For over a decade, I’ve witnessed companies struggle with the same challenge: how to make hybrid and remote work not just functional, but exceptional. This isn’t just about productivity. It’s about creating environments where people and profits flourish together. Why am I passionate about this? Because I’ve lived it. Since 2012, I’ve been at the forefront of hybrid work, managing business-critical relationships totaling more than $1 billion. I’ve seen firsthand how the right approach can transform uncertainty into opportunity. My journey across five corporations—including two global conglomerates—taught me a crucial lesson: the future of work isn’t about location. It’s about connection. That insight led me to develop strategies that don’t just adapt to change—they drive it. Let’s face it, AI isn’t going to slow the pace of change. What sets my approach apart? • I blend deep research with innovative thinking • I translate complex systems into clear, actionable stories • I bridge the gap between employee needs and business goals And here’s the part most people don’t see coming: I combine systems thinking with empathy—mapping invisible dynamics like trust, power, and identity—while holding space for the very real human experience inside organizations. That duality is rare, especially at senior levels. I’m also one of the few with narrative intelligence: the ability to decode bias in corporate language, make sense of cultural friction, and reframe stories in a way that actually shifts behavior—not just sentiment. Add to that a board-level emotional fluency—the kind that recognizes psychological safety isn’t soft, it’s strategic. How do you find clarity in complexity and move forward when the right decision seems ambiguous? Leaders tell me, “You’re the voice of the unheard employee,” and “It’s rare to find someone advocating so positively for a better future of work.” But don’t just take my word for it. As a LinkedIn Top Voice for 2024—an honor awarded to fewer than 300 out of a billion users annually. Whether I’m advising boards, speaking at global conferences, or hosting the Hope & Possibilities podcast (100+ episodes, thousands of downloads), I’m here to help leaders navigate change with confidence and compassion.
