About WAYFINDER
We help educators: Find a WAY to STAY and LEAD with PURPOSE.
Founder & Lead Coach
Nichole Braxton (Coach Nikki)
Nichole Braxton is an educator, coach, and speaker on a mission: Her goal is to help educators find a way to stay in education and lead with purpose. She founded WAYFINDER™ after years of watching talented teachers leave the profession not because they lacked heart, but because they lacked a map.
Her work combines classroom experience, instructional leadership, and a deep belief that educators deserve systems as strong as the students they serve. Nichole supports teachers, school leaders, and district teams through coaching, professional development, and the WAYFINDER™ Method.
She has partnered with districts, schools, and educator communities to build clarity, sustainable systems, and professional confidence.
