Lifelong learning – I’m really curious and creative and want to be the best I can be!
I also love travelling and learning about others and their contexts
I booked Nicky for several coaching sessions in preparation for Headship. The sessions really enhanced my confidence and also gave me an opportunity to reflect on my achievements to date – something I had not really done before due to the ever changing situation that we find ourselves in. I should also add that following my sessions with Nicky I was offered my first headship and I am certain that Nicky’s input influenced the positive outcome. I would highly recommend Nicky.

Dr Vanessa Mitchell
Deputy Principal (Pastoral)The Ladies’ College, Guernsey
Nicky completely changed my outlook and really empowered me to think about who I want to be as a leader. Nicky established a warm, supportive atmosphere amongst the group. I especially appreciated the blend of analysis and reflection with straightforward takeaway tips that I could apply immediately. Thank you, Nicky! We were delighted to welcome Nicky to deliver our INSET session on developing leadership. The room was quickly filled with a very positive buzz, and discussion was enlightening and inspiring.
Amy Wallace
Deputy HeadSt Catherine’s School, Twickenham
The two heads and I felt that the pace and content [of the training] were excellent. Unanimously, the HoDs felt the pace and the presentation of the ideas were excellent and there were elements of nuance for each HOD.
