Speaking

Lasting change in early childhood stems from how systems are designed, how leaders make decisions, and how adults are supported to do complex relational work every day. NLM Consultation’s speaking engagements are designed to help organizations and leadership teams rethink how behavior, learning, and belonging are shaped not just by individuals, but by the conditions they work within.

Drawing on over 15 years of experience in early childhood education, coaching, consultation, and research, Nicole L. Muñoz, Ed.D. brings a systems and leadership lens to conferences, leadership convenings, and professional learning days. These sessions blend research, real-world examples, and practical organizational insight to help leaders move from strategy accumulation to intentional design.

From keynotes to leadership workshops, each session is adapted to the audience and the system they are working within. Topics include regulation and emotional climate, learning conditions, inclusion and belonging, and adult practice—but always through the same core question: What about our system is making this easier or harder to do well?

These sessions are designed not just to be thought-provoking, but to create shared language, clarity, and momentum for real change. Explore the sections above to view current topics and engagement options.
