Meet dr. Nicole

Dr. Martin is a gifted writer and author of numerous articles including two books: Made to Lead: Empowering Women for Ministry and Leaning In, Letting Go: A Lenten Devotional. Her latest book, Nailing It, was written to help you to discover why successful leadership demands suffering and surrender.

ENDORSEMENTS

"Leadership is designed to kill you if you do it right, by nailing all your passions and ambitions to the cross. That's what (I hope) I'm in the process of doing, nailing all of that. As you read through this perceptive book, I pray that you, as I did, see the parts of yourself that still need to die."

Carey Nieuwhof Author, Speaker, Podcast Host

"After spending more than seventeen years in senior executive roles across both marketplace and ministry, I have seen many leaders succumb to the temptations offered by ego and achievement. But in Nailing It, my friend and brilliant thought-leader Nicole Massie Martin offers a new paradigm that is centered on the sacrificial example of Jesus. I am grateful for this book, and you will be, too!"

Nona Jones Preacher, Business Leader, and Author of The Gift of Rejection

"The most helpful, practical, challenging, inspiring, and empowering leadership book I've read. In Nailing It, Nicole Massie Martin has provided a blueprint for effective leadership in our rapidly changing world. By identifying leadership practices that hinder our effectiveness and sharing practical principles that lead to personal and organizational flourishing, Nicole has 'nailed' the pressing leadership issues of our day."

Christine Caine Founder of A21 and Propel Women

"It would be hard to count the number of books, seminars, and podcasts currently available on leadership. Many are helpful and give wise counsel. In this book, Nicole Massie Martin offers a unique approach to leadership, one that recognizes the pathways and pitfalls of current leadership models in the church and in the culture, but one that also challenges various approaches with the perspective of a leader crucified to self for the glory of God and the good of those they lead. Every leader will resonate with one or more of the issues raised, and every leader will be helped by the wisdom offered in these pages."
