​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.

Finding a Regimen That Transforms Your Life One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned over the past year is this: confidence isn’t something you stumble into—it’s something you build. And the secret ingredient that holds it all together is consistency. We often think of confidence as a personality trait, but in reality, it’s a byproduct of our daily habits. It comes from keeping promises to yourself, honoring your priorities, and shaping a lifestyle that supports who you want to become. When you create a regimen that works for your life—your schedule, your needs, your goals—you set yourself up for steady, sustainable growth. Recently, my team member and dear friend Toni Lee Jones gifted me a shirt that perfectly captures the rhythm I’ve embraced this past year. It reads: Wake up. Worship. Workout. Such simple words. Yet they summarize a lifestyle shift that has transformed me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Starting my mornings with intention—centering my spirit, moving my body, and aligning my mind—has strengthened my confidence in ways I never expected. It’s helped me show up clearer, calmer, stronger, and more grounded throughout the day. But here’s the beautiful part: your regimen doesn’t have to look like mine. It just has to serve you. Maybe your rhythm is: Wake up, stretch & journal Pray, hydrate & walk Meditate, create & connect Plan, breathe & read Whatever helps you feel anchored, energized, and aligned—that’s the routine worth building. Because consistency isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress. It’s about showing up—day after day—for yourself. And with every consistent step, your confidence grows stronger. So let me ask you: What’s your regimen? What rhythm, routine, or ritual helps you step into your best self? I’d love to hear it. Share your go-to routine or the one you aspire to build. Let’s inspire one another to stay consistent, stay committed, and keep becoming the confident women we were created to be. Consistency creates confidence. Start where you are, and grow from there.

Don’t Give Up: Better Days Are Still Ahead Let’s be honest — the world feels heavy right now. Between what’s happening in our nation and across the globe, it can sometimes feel like we’re walking through more darkness than light. Many people are tired. Some are hurting. And others are simply trying to hold it together one day at a time. If that’s you — take heart. You’re not alone. In times like these, it’s easy to believe that positivity means pretending everything is okay or plastering on a smile when your heart is aching. But that’s not what true positivity is. Being positive doesn’t mean you have to be happy all the time or ignore reality. It means choosing hope. It means trusting that even when things look uncertain, better days are coming. You’ve faced challenges before — and you made it through. The same strength that carried you then still lives inside you now. That same resilience, that same spark, that same faith is still working on your behalf. So pause. Take a breath. Remind yourself that your current season is not your final destination. There is purpose even in the pain, lessons even in the waiting, and growth even in the struggle. You are not forgotten. You are not failing. You are being refined. Hold on, friend — joy is on the horizon. Keep believing. Keep building. Keep shining. The world still needs your light.

One of the fastest ways to crush your confidence is surrounding yourself with confidence crushers. The truth is—some relationships have expiration dates. And that’s okay. This is YOUR season to thrive. Don’t be afraid to evaluate who’s really meant to make the trip with you. Not everyone can go where you’re going, and that’s a sign of growth, not loss. You deserve peace, joy, and confidence on the journey ahead. Take a moment today to check your circle—because your future depends on it.
