What people are saying…

  • Dr. Nute’s EPIC Seminars and one-on-one guidance completely transformed the way I approach roleplays, written events, and life in general. Her insights on structuring a presentation, thinking critically under pressure, and delivering with confidence gave me the edge I needed to succeed. Learning how to lead with my ‘why’—a concept she emphasized—allowed me to craft compelling arguments that resonated with judges. Her coaching didn’t just prepare me for competition; it shaped the way I communicate and strategize in all areas of leadership. Dr. Nute’s impact goes far beyond DECA—she equips students with skills that will serve them for a lifetime.

  • In my experience, Dr. Nute's EPIC seminars are the quickest way to turn new or inexperienced DECA members into legitimate competitors. The seminars provide the perfect amount of information without being overwhelming while equipping students with the strategies, confidence, and real-world business insight needed to excel in competition."

  • The Epic Seminar, as well as Dr. Nute's one-on-one assistance, were some of the biggest assets in my DECA competition. She helped me gain valuable insight and fully broke down my event so that I could perform at a higher level. Going the extra mile when presenting and offering creative ideas for things to do while presenting, whether in the opening or closing, completely changed the way I competed. Both the EPIC Seminar and the one-on-one calls were incredibly helpful, and I would highly recommend Indigo Consultants to any chapter.
