Nicole is a certified leadership coach, and soft skills and communication expert, with a double Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Law.

Nicole's journey towards leadership and confident communication began early in life, where she went from being as quiet as a mouse to speaking on a global stage of 100k + people. She then took this experience to the boardroom to influence top CEOs in Australia and the world.

Through extensive research and reflection on her own personal experience, Nicole identified a strong need for soft skills coaching in the corporate and entrepreneurial space. She observed too many professionals who were extremely intelligent and possessed technical skills, however, were unable to reach their full leadership potential due to weak communication skills.

So at the start of 2021, and in the midst of the global pandemic where mindset, confidence & communication was at an all-time low, she brought her vision to life and launched her global online coaching business.

She now has clients across 10 countries around the world and helped them to speak up, be seen, and get ahead in their careers through results such as quadrupling their income and securing a promotion after only 3 months.

She attributes these successes to her unique ability to cut through the clutter and get straight to the core of people’s needs and challenges and develop personalized, practical, and simple solutions they can utilize immediately.

Nicole has immersed herself in the cultures of over 45 countries, lived in 4 cities, and has now settled in her home city Sydney, Australia.

Currently, Nicole is tracking well to achieve her 2030 goal of helping 20,000 people across the globe to find their unique Leadership X-Factor.

Nicole is a certified coach, holds a double Bachelor's degree in Law and Psychology, and is a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

The first time I met Nicole, we instantly hit it off. I felt very comfortable with her - like I already knew her - and that we had a genuine connection.

Nicole has this unique talent where she can pinpoint the right root cause of my leadership challenges. I would give her all of the information and she was able to break it down and find the practical solution and action plan to move forward.

This made every session I had with her an eye-opener; there was always something new that I learned about myself!

I have grown so much in my confidence, self-understanding, and overall leadership, through practical solutions that are easy to implement - and that has been my true AHA moment with her.
