Nicole is a coach with a passion for seeing leaders achieve sustainable professional and personal growth. Her gift is in giving her clients the safe space required to develop awareness of their leadership – how effective it is – and how it is being experienced by the world around them. With greater awareness, practical tools and new skills Nicole’s clients are able to move forward and embrace their leadership with clarity and confidence. Self-awareness of leadership effectiveness is a crucial element in achieving sustainable commercial and cultural results for every business leader (and organisation) and this is the value that Nicole delivers to her clients.
Nicole began her coach development journey with a National coaching group in 2007 and has been building her own Leadership and Executive Coaching practice since 2014. She brings her background of Human Resources and Management including leadership roles in process improvement, quality and innovation into her coaching practice today. Her clients describe her as warm, engaging and empathetic, a great listener who always knows the right things to ask with “amazing” insight and wisdom.
Nicole works with a diverse range of clients from leaders and senior executives in all levels of Government and NFP’s, large corporates, teams and mid-tier management and small to medium sized businesses. Nicole offers a structured approach working towards agreed coaching objectives that creates both support and accountability for clients, offering authentic opportunities for reflection and supporting clarity in their choices. Supporting her clients towards more purposeful (and intentional) leadership can be crucial to transforming how they lead themselves, and their teams. In addition to working 1:1 with clients, Nicole also supports clients with consulting projects and the design and delivery of soft skills development programs.
Nicole is an accredited European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) Senior Practitioner Coach with over 8 years professional coaching expertise behind her. EMCC holds the gold standard globally for the coaching profession and Nicole shares her depth of coaching experience in a voluntary capacity, as Vice-President of Accreditation EMCC Asia Pacific Region, supporting other coaches to achieve accreditation with this esteemed coaching body.
Nicole leads a brilliant team of volunteers across Asia Pacific to mentor, supervise and assess Coaches and Mentors from across the globe to achieve their accreditation to ensure the quality and professionalism is maintained in the coaching industry. She has also achieved accreditation for the training of coaches and mentors nationally through the design of EMCC quality awarded (EQA) training programs since 2014.
When not coaching, Nicole calls herself blessed to live near the beach on the Sunshine Coast with her husband and 3 teenage children plus a gorgeous toy Cavoodle and an aviary with 27 beautiful rainbow budgies!
