Working with Nicky has made all the difference to me, and to my work. It's reconnected me to a sense of purpose, softened self-criticism, and revealed the many opportunities available to shape up and accelerate my business. Her coaching has got me on track – and for me that was paramount. A terrific coach, very insightful, and a great pleasure to work with.
Being coached by Nicky has been incredibly powerful and beneficial to me. Nicky is immensely intuitive and was quickly able to understand me and how best to support my unique journey. Nicky is supportive and encouraging, and cares deeply about you as a person, and is totally committed to getting you the best possible outcome from working together. She is insightful and generous in sharing her experience and tools.
I completed a short series of coaching sessions with Nicky after I had been made redundant from my job of 23 years. Although I was not actively seeking a new job, I found the sessions incredibly helpful and supportive.
Giving me an entirely fresh perspective on what I was looking for in my professional life and some ways in which I might think about achieving those objectives. The coaching was always a positive experience which provoked a great deal of useful thought on my part. I found myself considering a whole range of issues that I had not really acknowledged before.
