Testimonials
With Nicki’s help, I’ve made one of the best decisions in my life and have taken on a new role, created expressly for me and am thriving 7 months into employment at a new firm.
Nicki helped me in times of crisis on the work front, to make sound decisions based on what’s truly important to me. In our case the work started with evaluating whether to stay put with a long-time employer in a time of drastic change that did not appear promising and how to pivot and negotiate a role to compliment my core strengths and behaviors. Ultimately, we took our work and applied it to evaluating new career opportunities coming in to match me in a role and organization that was simply the best cultural fit. I learned about what it really and truly means to have financial and cultural bottom lines and with that knowledge came the power of choice. With Nicki’s help, I’ve made one of the best decisions in my life and have taken on a new role, created expressly for me and am thriving 7 months into employment at a new firm.
Whether it’s the fire-drill of the day or a particularly painful project or colleague, I’m stronger in the big conversations and negotiations.
Working with Nicki in an executive coaching capacity has empowered me in many aspects of my life – within and outside of work – and helped me to evolve my thinking. With strong organizational and behavioral psychology frameworks and models, I’ve learned to view situations both macro and micro, through different lenses. Our work has truly helped me solve various problems and negotiate situations. Whether it’s the fire-drill of the day or a particularly painful project or colleague, I’m stronger in the big conversations and negotiations. Nicki always keeps our work on track with clear boundaries and goals set up from session to session and year over year (we’ve been working together for several years now). I appreciate not just the flexibility in format (meeting over lunch, Skype, etc.) but in having assignments if and where they aid the bigger cause. If you’re after some professional ‘tough love’ and accountability, you will have much to gain in working with Nicki. I especially appreciate her direct and to-the-point approach and how she prepares for each session and knows when to introduce other material. Our work together spans the spectrum of managerial training and behavioral psychology to organizational principles. Seeing things differently helps me approach my work differently and ultimately be in the driver’s seat with my career.
If you are looking for honest feedback and a set of frameworks that will help you build to the next level in your career, Nicki is a great asset.
Nicki was a tremendously valuable coach for me during a challenging career transition. Her knowledge and experience helped me separate the career prospects from the emotion, and gave me a clearer lens with which to evaluate the situation. Some of the principles we worked through, like how to evaluate the responsibility and authority characteristics of a task or role, are now imbedded in my conscious, and are frameworks I use all the time. Her coaching has far outlived the time we spent actively in a relationship. If you are looking for honest feedback and a set of frameworks that will help you build to the next level in your career, Nicki is a great asset.

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.
