Nicky was an early believer – and champion – of Purpose-led business and life, and Peak Performance.

She is a caring and demanding, insightful, empathetic coach with an innate ability of bringing out the best in those talented people she believes in.

Her One Word Equity descriptor is The Shepherd.

This says it all.”

Company Purpose and Culture Building

I help organisations build their own Company Purpose to build culture and focus within their organisation.

We spend an initial two days working with a small group of the most senior leaders to build a unique and powerful company purpose and then we work on a plan to gain buy-in and momentum. 

This is a bespoke approach to each organisation, but usually takes around three follow up days after the initial two day session.

The key to co-creating purpose is finding the right language. Revolution begins with language. When you find the right language, you change everything in an instant.

Purpose demands emotional depth because emotion leads to action. What is the idea that will unleash the organisation? Purposing surfaces the language.
