WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH NICOLA
Testimonials
Coaching is 100% worth the investment in time, energy and funds. The sessions are powerful and will help you get past stuck places, focus on key elements, and feel calmer and more confident in your decisions. Working with Nicola helped me deepen trust in my skills and to move from a place of agency.
Polly Sykes
Therapist
Nicola created a wonderfully safe space to show up with my dreams, goals and the full spectrum of my self-doubt. She helped me explore my beliefs and behaviours with curiosity and compassion, kept me gently accountable for the intentions I’d set for myself, and helped me build courage and confidence.
Jo Williams
Coach & Business Mentor
I really appreciated how enthused Nicola got about my dreams and goals. At the time, I was surrounded by well-meaning but dream-killing acquaintances and colleagues. Coaching helped to validate that my own passions were worth pursuing and provided a foundation for further growth over the years.

Frequently Asked Questions
There will be six virtual meetings (dates below). You are encouraged to attend live for optimal participation.
However, if you miss a session, follow-up recordings will be provided, and you can email me for any further support.
Your one-hour coaching session will take place via Zoom on Tuesdays & Wednesdays, between 10am - 5pm EST. You'll book your appointment via my online calendar system.
You can book your 1:1 appointment at any time during the duration of the program.
If you struggle with clarifying your vision or getting started, I recommend you schedule it early on. If you tend to have difficulty maintaining motivation after the initial honeymoon wears off or struggle with quitting or completion, book to help out at those stuck moments.
I look forward to being your thought-partner, joint strategist, accountability or pep talk provider whenever I can best help!
The fun thing is, you get to choose a right-shaped and right-sized aim for YOU. Goal diversity will be celebrated.
You might focus on a creative project, such as starting a podcast, working on a manuscript or finishing something that stalled out a while back.
You could prioritize a domestic area, like: tackling overdue taxes, working on an estate, cleaning your basement or creating new organizational systems.
You might use SPRINGBOARD to support a career change, habit shift, job search, or new venture into dating.
Finally, you could shift a pattern in your life, such as: learning to slow down, set boundaries, or prioritizing an area of your life that often gets short-thrift or in which you feel under-developed (finances, homecooking, fun, etc...).
Whatever you choose, expect the satisfaction that results when you dare to focus and expand your life, accompanied by a coach, community and new resources.
As I'm not a registered psychotherapist or social worker, generally NO. However, if a professional budget will cover your fees, and you're using this program to support a professional goal, I'm happy to provide a custom statement to outline the services provided by SPRINGBOARD.
No. Definitely not. We start where we are.
That's part of the beauty of SPRINGBOARD.
Sometimes we wait for motivation, enthusiasm or a sign from the universe to hit GO - when what we really need is to start moving to generate the feelings of sovereignty, inspiration and purpose that we're longing for.
This program is designed as a focused 'sprint,' aligned with autumn's harvesting energy in the Northern Hemisphere.
You don't have to start full of pep, but my hope is that stepping into aligned choice, commitment and possibility will naturally inspire your vitality, joy and energy.
It's hard not to get excited when we see new evidence of our growing capability - even the unsexy stuff, like handling inevitable setbacks.
Whether your goal is uplifting, daunting or tedious-but-meaningful, growth and expansion are potent.
Daring to start, pursue and complete things is magic. ✨
Come see what you can do!
P.S. You're also welcome to arrive brimming with anticipation - or quietly neutral. There's room for all vibes.
I'm aiming for an intimate community of 6 - 12 people. I may run it with an even smaller little crew, as long as we're all committed and fully invested.
Never underestimate the power of a buddy or community accountability, encouragement and support.
If this program appeals to you, but you're unsure of your focus, that's OK. I can help with that!
Getting clear or getting started is kryptonite for some folks, so it's just fine if you don't know where to begin.
You can use the first few group gatherings, a 60-Minute Coaching Session, or the unlimited 'Coach In Your Pocket" WhatsApp Voice Messages for support to clarify your direction of travel or desired outcome at the outset.
If you feel spidey-sense tingles that you're meant to join SPRINGBOARD, I encourage you to trust your intuition and that you'll 'figure out the path by walking.'
Sometimes life feels stagnant, too-small, or you want support to shake things up and dream bigger. I'd be honored to help.
I'm not an ADHD-specialist.
However, I've successfully coached many clients with ADHD... and this form of neuro-divergence is something I'm learning more about for myself.
The tools I'll offer are not specific to folks with ADHD, but I'll provide resources and ideas that can help your ability to focus and follow through on your intentions.
I believe in the power of slow and incremental shifts, and have six and twelve-month programs to support transformation in such a marathon approach to change.
However, I also know the potency of sharpening our focus, clearing the decks and giving our best to ONE priority area or goal. I see this approach as akin to a powerful sprint.
SPRINGBOARD is designed to help you see what's possible with a sprint. 🏃♀️ (Spoiler alert - plenty!)
I am 100% confident in the quality of SPRINGBOARD. There are no refunds for this program. However, if you are investing your full efforts and are unsatisfied with your results, email me, and I'll do my best to support your needs and enhance your experience.
You can count on me to be invested in your success, but ultimately, you've got to be the one to: dream your dreams, choose your goal, plot and plan... and move into action. I have faith that you can do it! 🙌
No. I will not be providing additional video lessons or a concrete, one-size-fits-all roadmap to participants.
However, I have offered a course like this in the past, and if you would appreciate some of the resources or templates, I'll happily share them with individuals or the group.
Basically, my vision for this is: less teaching and passive learning + more doing.
I trust that you'll get what you need from: group calls, Zoom and WhatsApp 1:1 coaching, and coworking sessions.
I believe that your wisdom and courage are inside you - and I'll help you to access and unleash them as you step into brave and imperfect ACTION. 🚀
If you want or need more structure at any point, I'll just be one voice audio away - 💯 invested in your success.
I'm happy to answer any questions you may have so that you can determine if SPRINGBOARD is right for you. Get in touch with me here and I'll get back to you asap.
If useful, we can additionally set up a 15-minute chat to help you decide if this is a good fit for you.

More Testimonials
Coaching helped me think and dream bigger. I wanted to finally take the leap to make my first short film and I DID IT! I talked about creating a clothing line, and now it’s HAPPENING. I bought a new car! I've developed a sense of pride and excitement about the future.
I learned that I can rely on myself to get things done and that I'm capable of making the changes I want.
Sarah Millman
Film Maker & Designer
When I first started working with Nicola, I was entering a new life chapter, feeling unmotivated and aimless. I knew in my head and heart what I needed to be doing, but I wasn't merging the two nor making progress on my own. Through coaching, I was able to work through my ideas, map out plans, and make clearer decisions for both short and long-term goals.
Gloria Eid
Writer & Coach
Coaching is the first time that I've named aloud what I want in my life, and set about putting a plan in place to achieve it. Paying close attention, creating intentions, and being held accountable: these things created a profound shift in me. It has been extremely rewarding, and so much has happened in a short amount of time — most of it beyond my expectations.
Kathy Grant
Designer

FUN FACT!
I'll not only be your coach, but I'll be working on a brave goal alongside you. 🙋♀️ Yup, what sparked my inspiration to offer SPRINGBOARD is starting to write my first book, a longtime dream. ✍😳 Video here on the juicy backstory & details.
I'm feeling the joy, power (and fear) of unleashing my potential - and I hope you'll join me in daring to nurture your heartfelt goals, yearnings and intuitive nudges. ✨
I also believe that creativity and community are antidotes to the anxiety and chaos of our times - so, I'm hoping this will be nourishing on so many levels! 💞
