Changing the world with courageous creativity.
I help ambitious humans to live and work well by having more confidence in their careers, creativity and leadership.
I believe in the power of coaching and its ability to help us to think, be and do differently. Coaching enables us to get out of the confines of our patterns, blocks and social conditioning and move into a space of experiencing the world in new ways. Helping us to realise our potential and take steps to move towards it.
I believe we ALL deserve access to this game changing space, we all deserve to be able to unravel our thoughts, behaviours and beliefs in order to live a life that feels more real, right and true to us.
And so my work seeks to initiate and facilitate getting coaching support to as many people as possible. This is personal and professional development for the many and not the few.
Coaching for companies/corporates
Coaching for individuals
Jazreena Harlow
“Your overall approach and holding space for coaching was super helpful and I found the reflections you offered, opened me up to see 'blocker's that were slightly veiled. I love the aha moments and the genuine essence of your gentle yet affirming approach. I always feel heard by you and for me that's really important.”
Sabrina Taylor
“Nicola models what good coaching skills are all about! Asking powerful questions, sharing key insights designed to help me go deeper and allowing me the space to be open to whatever comes up. Nothing is off limits and that is very freeing. I also learned a lot from Nicola about the importance of trust within the coaching relationship. Nicola worked hard to ensure I knew I was in a safe space and that I am in control of the direction that sessions take.”
CAREERS, CREATIVITY AND CRAFTING A WHOLEHEARTED LIFE.
Meet Nicola
I’m an award-winning ICF (International Coaching Federation) Coach, experienced Creative Brand Strategist and soon-to-be certified Coach Supervisor.
I’m currently an Allbright Career Coach and the resident Life Coach for the D&AD Shift Programme alongside running my private coaching practice.
I also love to teach and I’m a Trainer for the Optimus Coach Academy where I guide students on becoming professionally qualified ICF accredited coaches.
I work with organisations to help them to support their creative talent and I work with individuals to help them step into leadership, grow their confidence and fulfil their ambitions for their work and life.
My guiding principle is ‘personal development for the many and not the few’ and its the bedrock of my work.
“Before we started working together I was feeling confused! The obstacle that almost prevented me from saying yes was feeling unsure I was worth it.
I now have a real sense of clarity that was totally eluding me before. I feel more confident and am going to try and edit myself less - just be my whole self!
I was amazed by the epiphanies that happened every week! I wish I’d done this work years ago. Nicola is a wonderful woman who has created a brilliant framework - her coaching has lifted such a fog for me and I’m very excited about what I can achieve now.”
