Nicole’s journey towards confident leadership communication began early in life, when she went from being as quiet as a mouse to speaking on a live global stage of 100,000+ people. She then took this experience to the boardroom to influence top CEO's in Australia and the world.

Through extensive research and reflection on her personal experience, Nicole identified a strong need for leadership soft skills coaching in the corporate and entrepreneurial space. She observed countless professionals who were extremely intelligent and with a high level of technical skill, however, were unable to reach their full potential due to gaps in their communication.

So at the start of 2021, and amid the global pandemic where mindset, confidence and communication were at an all-time low, she brought her vision to life and launched her global digital leadership development business.

Within the first 2 months, she had clients across 10 countries and helped them to speak up, be seen, and get ahead in their careers and lives. She was able to guide her clients towards achieving their goals like securing a pay rise after one conversation and gaining a promotion after only 3 months.

She attributes these successes to her unique ability to cut through the clutter, get straight to the core of people’s needs and challenges, and develop personalised and practical strategies that can be implemented 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 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.
