Leadership coaching for women – lawyers and professionals

If you’re looking to enhance your career and thrive, my 15+ years experience in coaching for women lawyers and other professionals get results. As a specialist leadership and talent coach, I’ll work with you to unleash your full potential and achieve your greatest ambitions.

Leadership coaching for women in law

There are many specific challenges facing female lawyers, yet you have so much to offer! With 19 years as a barrister, I have a unique understanding of what it takes to succeed in the legal profession, while managing your work/life balance and wellbeing too.

My one-to-one leadership coaching for women in law is delivered with passion and empathy, creating a safe space where your success is the priority. My coaching services can be adapted to suit your needs, with focus on my specialisms in:

  • Women’s leadership in law
  • Enhanced career break returner/working parent support
  • Workplace resilience, confidence and wellbeing

I believe in measuring results to ensure my coaching clients are getting maximum value from their time and investment; the stats speak for themselves – with every one of the 140+ women I’ve coached on an individual basis having been retained in law.

One-to-one coaching for professional women

My skills as a leadership and career development coach don’t just apply to the legal field. I also offer a range of coaching programmes for ambitious women in other professional organisations across the UK and internationally.

Whether you’re looking to forge your way into a leadership role, successfully balance your professional position with parenthood, or want to experience more job satisfaction and rise to challenges with confidence, I’d love to help you realise your full potential through:

  • Leadership and career coaching, in particular around paths to partnership, taking silk or applying for a judicial position
  • Professional training and development
  • Mindset, resilience and confidence coaching
  • Wellbeing/wellness strategies

Openness, authenticity and integrity are central to everything I do, as my testimonials demonstrate. With 93+% of my female coaching clients reporting an increase in confidence, resilience and motivation to progress their careers following our partnership, I’d love to help you to do the same.

Testimonials

I can give Nikki no better recommendation than to say that following a long period of uncertainty and indecision working with her has given me the confidence to make bold choices and step into a position of leadership as a young female lawyer. Nikki’s direct but understanding approach, coupled with practical tips that really work, has made me progress personally and professionally in a way that I couldn’t have achieved on my own

Laura Searle Barrister, Head of Family and Deputy Head of Chambers

I sought help when a big career move…didn’t work out the way I had hoped. I felt lost and low…Nikki showed me that I had so many more options than I realised, and helped me…choose the best one for me, through a process of discovering my own values and priorities. She also helped me find the courage to pursue my own interests, and to set boundaries to protect that time. I found her approach to be pitch perfect: empowering, empathetic and encouraging…I can’t recommend Nikki highly enough

Carolina Senior Associate

Without a doubt my 5 coaching sessions with Nikki has been a transformative experience!! After…my first session, I appreciated the 32 years of bad habits I had acquired as self-employed Counsel had to change and boundaries be established…Now my work life balance has shifted and instead of looking for an escape route to leave the Bar I am embracing the career I have built, and I also have the confidence to widen my horizons…Instead of feeling burnt out, I now feel I have so much to give

Liz Shaw Spire Barristers

After working with Nikki for 3 sessions I was amazed at the change that I experienced even over a short time in my approach to my career. Nikki’s personality is super infectious and her guiding approach to coaching make her a perfect ally as she assists you to navigate through discovering challenges to overcome and how to see your goals as simply a collection of very small steps. I highly recommend Nikki to those considering a coach in the legal sphere!
