Executive Coaching

Nicky is an experienced and courageous accredited executive coach and has been coaching executives for over 15 years. She specialises in supporting leaders to be courageously authentic, drive change and performance and in developing flexibility and resilience in their own leadership style.

Executive Coaching has been defined as:

“An ongoing relationship that focuses on the staff member taking action toward the realization of their visions, goals or desires.  Coaching uses a process of inquiry and personal discovery to build the person’s level of awareness and responsibility and provide them with structure, support and feedback.  The coaching process helps the staff member both define and achieve professional and personal goals faster and with more ease than would be possible otherwise”
 – The International Coach Federation

Coaching is usually short term (3 months to 1 year).

The approach to coaching can be summarised as follows:

  • It is essentially a non-directive form of development
  • It focuses on improving performance and developing individuals’ skills
  • Personal issues may be discussed but the emphasis is on performance at work
  • Coaching activities have both organisational and individual goals.
  • It assumes that the individual is psychologically well and does not require a clinical intervention
  • It provides people with feedback on both their strengths and their development needs
  • It is a skilled activity which should be delivered by trained and accredited coaches
  • It is usually a 3 way partnership between the individual, their manager and the coach

Nicky coaches anyone with a desire to step up to their potential. She encourages self-reflection, challenges limiting beliefs and mindsets and is known as an empathetic, courageous and transformational coach. Nicky currently works with mid level and senior leaders as well as  business owners. Her areas of coaching expertise include authenticity, resilience and change.
