Testimonials
Nicky and I have worked together via our shared love of coaching and coaching supervision. Nicky has real tenacity and focus within her work during transient times. She uses her coaching skills in a real and human way that belies her strategic “steel”. She cares deeply about the impact of organisational strategies on the workforce and never loses sight of the individual. We need more people like Nicky at the helm of large organisations these days to show how leadership can be done in a way that is authentic and transparent but still gets the job done.

David Fillingham
CEO AQuA
Nicky’s award for outstanding leadership in HR came as no surprise to me. Her integrity, ability to build relationships and to challenge is of a high order; her skill in developing other senior colleagues both formally and informally is exemplary; and all this comes with her sophisticated view of modern organisations. Drive and versatility also mark her out – I heartily recommend Nicky.
David Webster
Occupational Coaching and Psychologist
Had the pleasure of working with Nicky whilst undertaking the Coaching Supervision Programme (NHS Institute and NHS Leadership Academy). Nicky is an excellent coach and used her advanced communication skills well during the programme. Nicky has great empathy for her clients and I really enjoyed working with her.
Chris Birbeck
Director Chris Birbeck Consulting
Modern Human Resources practice demands an holistic approach to its execution. Sadly many in the role here fail to fit the bill. It is not sufficient simply to be savvy about the processes, procedures and philosophies which characterise the profession. In today’s ultra competitive environment it is also necessary to have a feel for how to get the best out of workforces. Nicky appears to have that touch, that ability to see the bigger picture beyond transactional detail which is so evident nowadays. She has a common sense or nous which enables her to see beyond the metrics and into what is required for genuine excellence.
