​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.

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.

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
