Testimonials
Through my sessions with Nikki, she has guided me to be able to challenge the negative mindset I had created, which in turn has begun to realise much more self-confidence in me and a determination to break down the barriers that I had built internally that were holding me back. I cannot recommend Nikki’s coaching methods highly enough – challenging yet supportive, thought provoking and energising. I am left with a clear sense that I am the author or my own…
Nikki helped me to identify my goals and break down my journey to realistically achieving them. Nikki helped me to “dig deep” to find solutions myself and her approach to self-accountability focuses the mind on achieving not drifting. Nikki understands the legal profession and challenges all lawyers face. That insight provides an invaluable angle to her coaching style
I’ve just completed the last of four coaching sessions with Nikki. She has really helped me build my confidence and break out of the negative and self-critical thought patterns which I have often found myself sinking into in my career to date, to find a much more positive and empowering mindset. Nikki is kind and empathetic and understands the legal profession, and I looked forward to each of my sessions with her.
Invaluable toolkit for female professionals: Fantastic training and resources for returners and all professional seeking to establish career and life goals and – crucially – to set a path to achieving them. Highly recommend.
