Nikki is informative, positive, energetic and she really cares about helping other women in law thrive

Elizabeth Gibbison Solicitor, Irwin Mitchell

Since meeting Nikki I've been very impressed with her authenticity and drive for empowering and supporting women in the legal sector. As a business, we have enlisted her support with a coaching programme and all my colleagues, without exception, have been full of praise for her role in supporting their development and confidence building… Nikki is a real pleasure to work with. I would have no hesitation in recommending her

Helen Saunders Head of People, Clarion Solicitors

Nikki is brilliant. She got me to do things to progress my career which I’ve been meaning to do for years. Nikki really helped me identify my goals and the steps I need to get there. She is a fantastic confidence builder… She offered constructive feedback and recommended me lots of helpful books and resources. Her experience at the Bar means that she just ‘gets’ the issues that we as women lawyers face…

Cecilia Barrett Barrister

Nikki brings a great combination of insight and realism. Her experiences, including working with Death Row inmates, give her a valuable perspective and coupled with her upbeat personality make her a stand-out speaker and coach
