Why Get a Coach?

Coaching works. Whether your goal is to get promoted from VP to SVP/Managing Director. Or in the next one to five years get promoted  from head of a department, team or function to General Counsel, Chief Legal Officer, Chief Operations Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Information Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, or Head of Sales (and Sales and Trading), or Chief Marketing Officer.

We work with new high potential leaders of tomorrow, new leaders and established leaders. Perhaps you are already in these positions in a smaller firm or in certain business lines within a bigger firm and want to expand your future.

We help professional female executives work on getting what they want from their careers.

Testimonials

Her insightfulness combined with her background in organizational psychology and business experience are the just the right combination to help you uncover your core beliefs and how they might be holding you back.

Nicki’s coaching skills are extraordinary. Her insightfulness combined with her background in organizational psychology and business experience are the just the right combination to help you uncover your core beliefs and how they might be holding you back. Nicki challenges you while also supporting you every step of the way; she actively listens and provides thoughtful, straightforward, useful feedback, which has helped me to clarify my goals and focus on commitments that will get me where I want to be. It’s a liberating experience working with Nicki!

I feel confident that I can take my career to the next level, and I have to thank Nicki for changing the trajectory of my career.

I have a long and successful career in the financial services industry. I thought I have seen everything and knew how to deal with almost anything. One day I found myself working with a customer who did not like anything I was doing on their project, despite strong support from my manager and colleagues, who believed that I was doing everything right. This is when I met Nicki. She analyzed the situation, diagnosed my blind spots, helped me to create a plan and held me accountable for execution of this plan. Long story short, the project was successfully completed and I have learned a lot about myself, company and people dynamics. I feel confident that I can take my career to the next level, and I have to thank Nicki for changing the trajectory of my career.

Years later I still utilize, and quote, Nicki’s advice and frameworks on a regular basis.

Nicki’s executive coaching was timed perfectly to a point of change in my career. Her advice and critical feedback, along with the frameworks she provided, helped me analyse the options available and not only choose the opportunity that was right for me at the time, but also go into it with more clarity about the potential pitfalls, which I believe helped me sidestep several. Years later I still utilize, and quote, Nicki’s advice and frameworks on a regular basis. Fantastic executive coaching experience.
