Coaching with Nicky is the intellectual equivalent to a high-intensity fitness session. I got continuous value from every 30-minute discussion. Each one was highly effective and powerful, and I left feeling energized and goal driven.

Nicky helped me to apply what I learned from a leadership development program. As a result, I became bolder in my approach, asking probing questions, thinking creatively and speaking up. I am now capable of leading multi-cultural teams and navigating challenges across the region.

Nicky has helped me rapidly transition from individual contributor to manager to leader by building a rich and powerful foundation of success. Through coaching, I have enriched my vision, redefined success and executed on the vision by building high-performance teams and expanding my leadership influence.

Coaching with Nicky enabled a simple but powerful shift to allow me to clarify my direction in a complex and high-stakes environment. In addition, my increased awareness of triggers empowered me to improve my communications and influence with senior leaders.

Working with Nicky completely changed my approach to work. It’s probably true that any high performer will move into a new role where the skillset that brought them there isn’t effective for their new role, whether it’s a promotion or move into a new organization. Now I think of my professional life before Nicky and after Nicky because she helped me understand where I was. Working together, I built my self-awareness to identify the problem, solve the problem, and recognize the signals of success. Relationships with senior leaders that were once tenuous are now authentically strong connections.

I have been asked to lead several teams that were struggling to perform. Nicky helped me reframe the challenges and provided simple tools that enabled structured gap analyses and immediate actions. The result has been rapid turn-around in performance of the teams and the individuals leading to amazing achievement of performance substantially above targets. These challenges and successes have built my confidence as a leader, and I’m viewed with high credibility as a “fixer” by my leadership team.

Nicky guided me through a period of rapid growth in my life where I had to shift from a focus of operational over-sight, to that plus understanding business drivers, innovation and strategy. Although I’ve always been a high-performer, the learning period shook my confidence. Nicky helped me improve my interactions with leaders and become more focused and intentional with my efforts.

All good decision-making starts with defining the problem. Nicky helps reframe challenges by uncovering blind-spots and critical missing elements. In challenging moments, she’s helped me stay grounded and oriented, enabling me to quickly hit my stride again.
