Our values
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
KR, HR Director, Financial Services
Nicki worked with me as Interim Head of HR during a time of transition for the department. I most appreciated her expertise in Reward, but she also supported me in preparing ExCo papers and driving cultural change. Nicki is professional, hardworking, and knowledgeable.
HP, previously Business Change Project Manager, Financial Services
Nicki joined the HR Transformation Team and was quickly able to prioritise a range of reward projects. She produced well-written, concise management reports. Many projects were “hands on” and she did whatever was needed to get the work completed in demanding timeframes. She worked effectively with people across the HR department and the business. One of her key skills was making complex reward concepts intelligible to the rest of the team! She was fun to work with and I’d happily work with her again.
​
MA, HR Director & Consultant
Nicki is one of my ‘go to’ people when I create a transformation team. I know she can understand the holistic picture & outcomes. She delivers with pace, allowing me to get on with what I do best. Her ability to build profound relationships with key stakeholders is impressive and her written communication skills are second to none.

HP, Deputy Editor,
Online media
Nicki helped me write my first post-university CV, aiding me in identifying the skills that would be attractive to prospective employers. She also advised me on interview skills, cover letter and transitioning from education to working life.
NS, CEO & NED, Health & Transport
Nicki supported and provided outstanding advice to me as I sought to transition my career following a change in personal circumstances. Her practical support in developing the right approach to career position and optimising my CV was outstanding. As importantly, her softer skills and own experience were powerful tools in helping me to build my own confidence and manage the inevitable knock backs faced during a career change.
​
CR, Managing Director, Networking Group
We have worked with Nicki as needed for several years, particularly after start-up. Her input included our work on our business plan, developing our brand & website, setting up our Directors Forums events, and our embyro Membership scheme. More recently, she has acted as a Group Leader
in online events.
RT, Senior IT manager, International retail
Nicki was my executive coach and mentor, helping me navigate a period of major change at work. She helped me improve my delegation and leadership skills, re-balance my home and work lives and identify clear goals for the future. She is a great listener and advisor and has great deal of knowledge of management and the business world. I always looked forward to our sessions and each time left with new energy and fresh ideas.
