Work With Me

“I felt like I wasn’t happy with my job but I couldn’t figure out why exactly that was the case. There were way too many thoughts going on in my head for me to identify the problem at hand.

The questions that Nicola asked me have helped me think through what I was struggling with.

As a result of our work together, I’ve explored the different avenues that I could take in my career and I have learned something from each of those explorations - this was great. I’ve also identified my strengths and values which helped me clarify what some of my goals are, even outside of my career.

I really can’t remember being this excited about my future career since leaving college. I think this is amazing!”

“I invested in coaching to gain perspective on where I’m at in terms of my career and get a steer towards a more productive direction. As a result of Nicola’s coaching, I have a better can-do approach to things and improved confidence in my own skills. I’ve also changed my approach to reaching my goals and appreciate the value of a carefully thought-out action plan.

I’d encourage any academic who’s weighed down by the system to try coaching!

There’s room for everyone to excel and achieve their goals and that’s what coaching with Nicola can offer.””

“Nicola gave me a very honest appraisal of how coaching might be beneficial for my situation: figuring out what my next career move should be. She immediately put me at ease and was extremely friendly and accommodating throughout all of our interactions.

As a result of working with Nicola, I feel better equipped to make decisions about my next steps. The questions she asked directed me to consider factors and issues that I likely would not have thought of myself. This really helped clarify my thought processes and will benefit my career-related decision making processes going forward.

(Working with Nicola also helped me re-define my approach to completing a frustrating task: finalising an article to submit for publication. Her coaching gave me the impetus to act then and there and the article was submitted within a week!)

Thanks for all your help Nicola, you are a fantastic coach!”

“I wouldn’t hesitate to use Nicola’s Services again.

I was facing a work challenge – a change of circumstances that came with greatly increased responsibility. An exciting opportunity, certainly – but also a bit overwhelming!
I immediately saw pay-off in the changes I implemented, especially around the issues of leadership and people management. Everything else now just seems more doable.
Like most things, you get out what you put in – so if you put everything on the table, Nicola can definitely help. She helps you to see the bigger picture, and the actionable tasks within it.”

“To have someone like Nicola working with me, made all the difference.

Coaching empowered me in a way that I hadn’t ever felt about starting my own business, and helped me to take action on something that I had dreamed about for a long time, but never felt able to pursue in any meaningful way.

I have maintained my motivation to continue on with my business idea, I love going to my desk to get started in the mornings. I am excited and hopeful for the future of my business and feel very equipped to deal with whatever comes my way.”
