client testimonial 392020
Nicci is the ultimate coach/mentor package! She has the great ability of creating an atmosphere of 'present-ness' and space - space to think, space to feel, space to be.
She is an amazing listener and gives you her full attention for every second of every session. She is tremendously perceptive too. With her guidance and spot-on questions, she helped me uncover what I already knew (but stayed dormant and hidden in all of the chaos we find ourselves in in 2020), held me accountable to the promises I made myself, and empowered me to set the boundaries I need to be the best version of myself.
I'm so happy that I took the leap and asked Nicci to be my coach when I did. I can see that her coaching approach will be helpful to anyone who is going through a life change of some sort, if you need someone to help you figure out your "next move", or if you just want to sense check life with an objective person. I can highly recommend Nicci as a coach/mentor!

“Nicci is a remarkable coach, and is highly recommended. She is an empath with an EQ in the genius range. Nicci can help identify even subconscious or unacknowledged drivers of someone’s actions. She blends her intuition and perception with a set of grounded, practical tools which enabled me to recognise where I can make changes and learn useful skills to cope and thrive in my stressful life and demanding professional practice. Nicci's energy and enthusiasm are inspiring. An excellent listener, perceptive and practical.”

"Nicci is a meticulous and committed professional who goes well beyond the call of duty. She has a confident demeanour and has a special gift of relating extremely well to people from all walks of life, be it the high-net-worth philanthropist or the homeless person on the street. Nicci is highly driven and has a very clear sense of what is right and wrong. Nicci speaks and writes eloquently, and is perhaps best liked for her infectious and sophisticated sense of humour. I strongly recommend her as a person of the finest character"

“I have learned and grown so much through the coaching process, achieving my goal but also becoming mindful of some of my own behavioural patterns that I was completely oblivious to. I feel much more self-aware.”

"Nicci is one of those rare people with a radiant smile and a can-do attitude. She has confidence. And she has something else too. A radiance. A bubbling enthusiasm and curiosity for life, and the people in it. When Nicci talks to you she looks you in the eyes and engages you. She can draw out the most taciturn of people, because she listens and intuitively knows how to relate to them. She is thoughtful and she can disarm people with her charm. I never received anything but glowing reports from my staff or customers. They all loved her."

She was required to interface with our Board of Directors as well as manage the relationships with the 100+ artists, major donors, a team of volunteers and other individuals critical to the museum and its mission, and I was blown away by Nicci’s ability to work with a variety of individuals and personalities in dynamic situations.

"In the years that Nicci has been with the organization she has played a crucial role in building it out from little more than an idea, to a social enterprise that is thriving and changing lives. Nicci added value to our work in so many ways. Perhaps what made Nicci’s contribution so invaluable was her combination of corporate and NGO experience together with a strong passion for social change. This enabled her to help guide the vision of the organization and execute the strategy in a manner that delivered real, meaningful impact to the beneficiaries, using sound business principles. She gave strong inputs on the training and development (the NGO component), together with great insights, initiative and action in marketing, PR and recruitment (the business component). Few people are able to successfully understand both the corporate and the NGO worlds in the way that Nicci does. This made her an invaluable asset to the organization from day one. Nicci consistently went above and beyond what was asked of her, showing a real commitment to advancing our social mission, even if it meant a sacrifice on her part. She was a great team member, who always brought lightness to the team together with an infectious enthusiasm."
Joshua Cox, Founder / CEO, FixForward, South Africa

“Nicci is a calm life coach - she imparts a soothing presence without having to say a word. She elicits one’s inner thoughts without prying, supporting one towards a personal solution reached on one’s own. Her ability to listen is second to none and all with a loving twinkle in her eye... ‘you’ve got this’ she says and you know it.”

“Nicci was a natural success as a recruiter and understood the concept of sales in a professional and consultative environment. I saw her positively influence the outcome of many a placement because of her untiring ability to get to the nub of what motivated candidates and clients. Working with Nicci was like a breath of fresh air in the world of recruitment - someone who wanted to get it right for both sides, and who was successful in achieving her targets. She was also great fun to work with and was a great value member of the team - I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again.”
