Advisory for Boards and Leadership Teams
I offer structured coaching engagements designed to create clarity, discipline, and measurable progress. Each package is built to meet you where you are—whether you are navigating a career move, refining your leadership approach, or making critical business decisions.
Coaching is not open-ended. It is intentional, focused, and outcome-driven.
Below, you’ll find a selection of coaching packages and advisory engagements. Each is designed to provide both structure and flexibility, with direct access, real-time perspective, and continued support between sessions.
This work is grounded in my role as Founder and CEO of Hunter Ambrose, where I’ve spent two decades advising organizations and placing executive leaders. I bring real-time market intelligence, active search experience, and a clear understanding of how decisions are made at the highest levels.
If you are a new client—individual or corporate—start with Session One. This initial session establishes clarity, defines priorities, and determines the right path forward before entering a package or ongoing engagement.
Nicole Barbano | Founder Hunter Ambrose Int.
Nicole brings clarity, insight, and a direct approach to her coaching. In one focused session, she challenged me to evaluate how I present myself professionally and offered constructive feedback that encouraged deeper reflection. Her ability to ask the right questions and guide the conversation with intention made the experience both productive and thought-provoking.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with Nicole and would recommend her to professionals seeking honest guidance and meaningful growth.
Melissa
Nicole Barbano is first class when it comes to career guidance and mentorship. As a Naval Officer preparing to make the transition to the private sector, Nicole offered me the tools and advice I needed to feel confident in my pursuit. Her industry insight is impeccable, and I could not recommend her more to my fellow service members taking the next step into civilian life. Thank you again, Nicole!
Oliver
Nicole is a terrific executive coach. Her guidance is candid and fair while addressing ways to improve a resume, LinkedIn profile, website and approach to presenting my accomplishments and goals. Nicole understands career transition and offers solutions that help me prepare for interviews and how best to present my capabilities. Her suggestions on use of Ai are spot on. I look forward to staying in touch.

Talent Strategy Advisory
For Organizations
4 Sessions | 90 Minutes Each - Up to 5 Participants
Great recruitment is marketing plus strategy.
Your organization's brand, process, and protocol either attract exceptional talent or lose them to competitors with stronger positioning.
This package is designed for organizations ready to improve or create a recruitment strategy—whether for a specific executive search need or to build organization-wide capability that reduces outsourcing fees and elevates accountability for talent acquisition at every level: staff, emerging leaders, and executive roles.
What We Cover:
Brand positioning and messaging: How your organization shows up in the talent market and what candidates experience throughout your process
Strategic alignment: Connecting talent acquisition to business objectives, growth plans, and competitive positioning
Process design and efficiency: Eliminating friction, improving candidate engagement, and measuring what matters
Internal capability building: Developing the skills, protocols, and accountability structures needed to execute consistently
Role architecture: Structuring positions to attract stronger candidates and align with organizational needs
Before the first session, you'll complete a brief intake covering current challenges, open roles, and organizational priorities. Each session builds on the last—moving from assessment through strategy refinement to execution planning. Between sessions, you'll have direct access for questions, feedback, and alignment as you begin implementation.
Who This Is For:
Organizations struggling to fill critical roles, seeking to reduce reliance on external recruiters, or ready to professionalize their internal talent acquisition function across all hiring levels.
What You'll Walk Away With:
A recruitment strategy built on marketing principles—engaging, measurable, and aligned with your brand
Clear recommendations for process improvement and accountability structures
A written summary with an implementation plan
Ongoing support between sessions to maintain momentum and ensure alignment
Booking Details:
Book your first session to begin. You'll receive a link to schedule the remaining three sessions, to be completed within eight weeks.
For less than the cost of a single staff-level search, you gain strategies that can be applied across your entire organization.
