BACKGROUND
Hi, I’m Nicole. My professional life has been characterized by seeking to meet the world’s great needs; though unachievable, I find it a worthy pursuit, and would describe myself as a change agent at heart. My journey has led me from managing a women’s shelter at age 23, to making a transatlantic move, to launching a one-of-a-kind coaching social enterprise, creating a province-wide call-in campaign that mobilized people in 84% of constituencies and contributed to resumed government-union negotiations, and initiating a 12-week campaign that raised $75,000 for local non-profits.
MY WORK
It’s been a non-linear path to meet you here, and I wouldn’t change a thing. Here, I learn about you and your organization’s needs, and harness my training, experiences, and generalist expertise in making big moves and small shifts to propel your growth and impact, and create peace in a life fully lived. It’s a joy to partner with people who spot and take opportunities to make their world a little bit better. Tangentially, I have a soft spot for those who have taken on too much.
I place a high value on excellence in service, and am the recipient of 12 coaching awards collected while living and working in Canada and, formerly, the UK. These include:
- 2024 Most Outstanding Executive & Relationship Coach, Global Business Insights
- 2023 (Shortlisted) Women of Distinction, Business & Professions, YWCA Saskatoon
- 2021 Best International Executive & Relationship Coach, Corporate Vision Magazine
- 2020 Best Professional Training and Coaching Provider – UK, Corporate Vision Magazine
- 2018 Career Coach of the Year, Powerhouse Global Women
- 2018 Professional Coaching – UK Adviser of the Year, Finance Monthly
