About Nicole
The Story Behind The Needs Languages™
Giving Leaders the Right Tools to Unlock Potential
Nicole Shir understands that success isn’t just about talent—it’s about having the right tools to succeed.
Her journey proves it. When she first entered college, she struggled—not because she lacked determination, but because she wasn’t given strategies that matched how she learned. Without them, success felt out of reach. But when she pursued her master’s degree, something changed. With the right systems in place, she completed it in just six months—with honors.
That experience shaped everything she does today. Nicole realized that people face similar struggles in workplaces—they aren’t failing because they lack talent; they’re struggling because they haven’t been given the right communication frameworks to thrive.
And that's precisely why she built The Needs Languages™.
The Road Trip That Changed Everything
The Needs Languages™ wasn't born in a corporate office—it started on an open road trip through Montana, of all places.
Nicole and her co-collaborator were deep in discussion about communication, personality, and problem-solving when they had a breakthrough:
💡 Most personality frameworks focus on behavior, but behavior alone doesn’t explain how people process information.
That realization led to the development of The Needs Languages™, a transformative tool that helps leaders understand how different personalities communicate, connect, and drive results.
Surrounded by more cows than people, Nicole never expected to develop an entire personality communication system in Montana—but that's precisely what happened. And she hasn't stopped refining and evolving it since.
Helping Leaders Navigate Communication & Conflict
💡 If you've ever struggled with team dynamics, the issue likely isn’t the people—it’s the approach.
Nicole has spent years researching how different personalities process information, helping leaders connect with their employees more effectively.
With The Needs Languages™, she equips organizations with powerful strategies to foster trust, strengthen communication, and resolve conflicts in a fair, balanced, and constructive manner.
