Nicole Haines serves as Director of Operations at Original Form, a boutique creative and marketing agency in San Diego. In this episode, Nicole shares how she came to faith four years ago, how her leadership changed afterward, and the three Ps she leans on every day in fast paced agency work. You will hear a direct conversation about identity, work, prayer, and why slowing down protects your leadership inside fast moving organizations.

Episode Highlights Nicole's career path from Pepsi sales to an agency front desk to Director of Operations across 11 years How reconnecting with her father during COVID led to both of them being saved and baptized in the hospital on Easter 2022 Why work was good in Genesis 1, before the fall, and what this means for your day to day The shift from performance driven leadership to becoming the leader God called her to be Why identity has to come before purpose if you want fulfillment outside one specific role Three ways to pray as a marketplace leader: for yourself, for your coworkers, and for the business you serve Why presence matters more than persuasion when sharing your faith at work The cost of pace and how slowing down protects your impact on the people around you

Nicole leaves you with three Ps to carry into your week: prayer, presence, and pace. Her message is direct. You do not need a different role to live out your faith. You need to show up as who God called you to be in the role you have right now. Slow down. Pray for the people around you. Stay present in every meeting. Stay obedient to the season you are in.

Outside of her work at Original Form, Nicole helps lead Neighbors, a Denver nonprofit serving the local community through monthly outreach. Last year, Neighbors served over 1,200 meals with the help of 300+ volunteers, and 40 to 50 volunteers now show up to every outreach. The nonprofit is growing past the houses it currently hosts in and is looking for donors and investors to help secure a permanent location this year. If you live in Denver, you can volunteer the second Saturday of every month. To volunteer, donate, or learn more about the vision, visit https://neighborsdenver.org/
