Testimonials
Being invited in as a coach is a privileged position. I pride myself on building lasting trusting relationships with each of my clients.
By creating a safe and supportive space I help my clients confront whatever is holding them back and move forward with renewed clarity and confidence.
Don’t take my word for it… below is just some of the lovely feedback my clients have taken time to provide.
"I can’t thank Nicola enough!"
Nicola was incredible in supporting me through a particularly challenging time in my job. From the very first session, her warmth and compassion made me feel truly at ease and cared for. She began by deeply listening to my concerns, asking insightful questions, and quickly getting to the heart of the issues—always with a fresh perspective, free from emotional bias. If you’re reading this and haven’t booked a session yet—don’t wait, book now!

"Nicola has been fabulous to work with!"
Nicola is very easy to engage with and has been incredibly supportive. She has had a positive impact on my confidence and mindset by embracing my ability to think strategically and to leave “the chimp” that has been sitting on my shoulder for a decade at the door. Thank you Nicola!

"Nicola’s mentorship is truly invaluable!"
I wholeheartedly recommend Nicola as an exceptional coach and mentor. As a parent of a young family, I struggled to balance demanding work commitments with home life. Her tailored support empowered me to develop strategies aligned with my values. Her friendly and deeply personal style comes naturally and is bolstered by years of senior leadership experience. For anyone seeking to grow as a leader while maintaining balance—especially with a young family—Nicola’s mentorship is truly invaluable.

"I can’t recommend Nicola and Rise 25 enough"
Having had the privilege of working alongside Nicola for many years, I’ve seen firsthand the impact of her leadership, empathy, and insight. Nicola has a unique ability to help leaders reconnect with their strengths and navigate change with confidence and clarity. If you’re a leader facing change or simply looking to grow, I can’t recommend Nicola and Rise 25 enough.

"Nicola helped me gain renewed confidence"
I had no idea what to expect when returning to work after maternity leave, and no idea just how valuable Nicola’s support would be. Our sessions quickly became something I truly valued and looked forward to. It was such a relief to have a safe, non-judgmental space to talk through team dynamics, plans, and challenges. Nicola encouraged me to reflect and think about what I wanted to achieve, gently challenging me where I needed it. Nicola helped me gain real clarity of thought and renewed confidence in my abilities and achievements. I always left our sessions feeling more focused, empowered, and fully supported. Anyone returning from maternity leave would benefit from Nicola’s support and have a lot of fun too!
