​I​'m Dr. Nicole Steele. I am a mentor, motivator, multi-faceted businesswoman, and modern-day treasure hunter. I have one of the BEST JOBS in the world and absolutely LOVE what I do as the Founder and Executive Director of Diamond In The Rough Youth Development Program, Inc. and President of Gem Makers, LLC. 

As a Confidence Coach and "Girl Guru", I find joy in helping Ladies, Leaders, and Little Girls unveil their purpose, unpack their potential, and understand they are SIMPLY PRICELESS.


As one who once battled with insecurity, suffered from self-doubt and was plagued with perfectionism and people pleasing., I understand the high cost that low self-confidence can have on a person. As the Mother of two daughters, I know the joys and challenges of parenthood. And as a professional with over three decades experience working with women and girls, I understand the importance of mentorship and the power of partnership.


​As a result, I have committed my life to helping equip and empower women and girls of all ages, to gain the clarity, confidence and courage to SHINE personally and professionally!!! I invite you to check out my "official website" to learn more about the products, programs and services my team and I offer.

We’ve all been there—waiting for the stars to align, the bank account to grow, the kids to get older, or the fear to fade before we step out and pursue that dream tugging at our hearts. But here’s the truth: the “perfect” time rarely comes. If you’re always waiting for conditions to be ideal, you may end up waiting forever. One of my favorite reminders says it best: “Sometimes later becomes never. Do it now.” Think about it—how many goals have you set aside with the intention of circling back “later”? Later, when you have more energy. Later, when life isn’t so busy. Later, when you feel ready. But the danger is that later can quietly slip into never. Your vision, your purpose, and your goals are too important to be left on hold. The dream inside of you was planted for a reason, and it deserves your action—not someday, but today. Fear, doubt, or procrastination may whisper excuses, but none of them are stronger than your “why.” So, where do you start? Small steps lead to big progress: 💎 Take the step — no matter how imperfect. 💎 Write the plan — clarity creates momentum. 💎 Make the call — the one you’ve been putting off. 💎 Start the thing — action beats hesitation every time. Each move you make today is an investment in your future self—the one who will thank you for the courage, the discipline, and the decision you made to begin. So don’t wait another day. Don’t let another week pass you by. The time is not later, it’s now. 👉 What’s ONE step you can take today toward your dream or goal? Share it below—I’d love to cheer you on! #DoItNow #DreamBig #TakeAction #NoBetterTime

Stop searching for happiness in the same people or places where you lost it. Sis, you didn’t hear wrong. You didn’t make the wrong decision when you chose yourself. That was courage. Now it’s time to lean fully into yourself—taking one intentional step each day toward your healing. And as you do, trust that God is mending the broken pieces, as He prepares you to rise stronger, bolder, and more confident than ever before. You were created to shine, to stand tall, and to walk in self-assurance. Don’t doubt it for a second. You’ve got this, sis. #Confidence #HealingJourney #ChooseYou #FaithAndFearlessness #YouGotThisSis

"We can’t solve our problems with the same thinking that created them." – Albert Einstein Confidence isn’t just about how you show up—it’s also about how you think. If your current thoughts got you here, but you want to go further, it’s time for a mental upgrade. This week, take an honest look at: Your mindset – Are you thinking in ways that empower you or keep you doubting yourself? Your habits – Are they building your confidence or chipping away at it? Your circle – Do the people around you believe in you, or make you question your worth? Your patterns – Are you clinging to old ways of thinking that no longer serve the confident version of you? True confidence grows when we give ourselves permission to release what holds us back—whether it’s a limiting belief, an unhealthy habit, or a relationship that drains us. This week’s challenge: Identify one thought, habit, or connection you will let go of to create space for a stronger, bolder, more confident you.
