When I began working with Nicola, I found myself in a state of feeling stuck and frustrated with my work. Nicola quickly discerned the most effective conversations and exercises to guide me through this phase. The program's most impactful aspect was delving into personality information. Nicola provided invaluable resources outlining roles and organizational contexts that align with different personality types. By the program's conclusion, I not only rediscovered my interests and passions but also gained clear strategies for effectively communicating my value to others. I wholeheartedly recommend Nicola to others (10/10). Her skill in posing challenging questions with kindness and respect, coupled with her sincere and honest approach, makes her an exceptional coach.

Nicola is thorough, responsive, flexible and insightful. She helped me understand my strengths and abilities which in turn allowed me to communicate about them more effectively to different groups. Nicola’s guidance strengthened my professional voice and sharpened my career focus. Her support helped me successfully identify and secure the right opportunity.
As a Scrum Master, I know that communication can be difficult on Agile teams. When I was faced with an especially difficult and new situation in a distributed environment I was eager to engage Nicola’s expertise. Thanks to her coaching these difficulties became easy to address.
During each session, Nicola asked precise and probing questions and highlighted unique solutions that I could take back to my team and apply immediately. Using the various techniques she prescribed the team’s communication and trust improved and I better understood how to use my own strengths to guide and coach the development team.
I highly recommend Nicola’s coaching for any Scrum Master or Team Lead who is facing difficulty in team communication or seeks to improve their own skill set. Her professional guidance and knowledge is excellent asset.

I worked with Nicola when I was going through a career change, through multiple personality and other tests. Nicola helped me understand how I work and what environment suits me best. She helped me narrow down my career options to a top 5 and encouraged me to talk to people in those fields to understand better what they do. I was able to find a new job within three months of meeting Nicola and am incredibly grateful for her help!
Nicola helped me understand my talents and abilities and confirm my own personal observations, allowing me to move forward with more confidence in directions that I have selected. More importantly, she also allowed me to identify my foundational skills, giving me the opportunity to apply them successfully in new situations. I have also been able to identify some new opportunities, areas that I did not realize that my skills were applicable or valuable. Through the entire coaching process she also acted with high integrity and helped me face both the good and bad opinions that I had regarding my work skills. At the end she demonstrated that she cares for the people that she helps.
