About


 

We build capacity in others to do life and work differently

It’s our mission to shape a different way of being and living in this world.

We take a whole being and whole system approach to change and transformation utilising our breadth of consultancy services which encompasses strategy, workshop facilitation, developmental programs, and individual leadership and group coaching models.

Together, as a network of collaborators, we work with individuals, teams, organisation’s and communities to (re) vitalise, (re) connect, (re) calibrate and realise a different way!

 

What does this mean?

We help drive cultural change, service excellence and sustainable social impact.

We work with diverse groups of people ranging from First Nations, community catalysers, executives, front-line and emerging leaders across eco-systems to do things differently.

Our focus is to grow your skills and capacity to reshape and reform the way you deliver your services.

We utlise social processes to cultivate inclusive environments to unlearn old habits and co-learn new ways to collaborate and co-create across teams in rapidly changing and complex times.

We recognise that human energy catalyses results. Without it, we lose our connection to ourselves and to each other, and we disconnect from living our true purpose.

We enable you to be adaptive and innovative as we harness imagination, cultivate optimism and embody a new way of being in this world!

 

Let’s work together.

Nicole’s passion is social change, accelerating new ways of doing things, unleashing the energy and potential of people through her practical insights, bridging worlds between the intersection of intellect, wisdom and lived experience.

Nicole brings decades of experience in catalysing and co-creating inclusive, ‘one team’ environments, service excellence and leading in complexity. An advocate for integrating a sustainable way of being in order to hold the space for others to deepen their understanding of themselves, each other and their interconnectedness with the systems in which they operate.

Nature, creativity, family fuels her spirit and helps her to liberate others to take risks and make meaningful impact.

Testimonials

The coaching Nicole provided was a gift, enabling me to clarify situations and my role in them in a way I’ve never experienced before. I feel like I am not only a better leader as a result of this coaching but also a more compassionate, collaborative and authentic person as a result.
— Joanne - Snr Manager, Preventative Health NSW, 2020
On behalf of the Greater Western Sydney Branch of the Australian College of Mental Health Nurses, I would like to thank you for your presentation at our 10th Annual Conference: Beyond the Bounds of Illness. Your presentation was interesting, stimulating, thoughtful and informative. The participants were able to reflect on their own wellbeing as well as the broader health professional group. The audience feedback to your presentation was outstanding and overwhelmingly positive. I thank you for helping make this conference the successful day that it was.
— J Seymour Chair – GWS ACMHN Convenor – GWS 10th Annual Conference
What a wonderful day you conducted for us! Thank you very much for your insight, clarity, intuition and guidance in unfolding the dream that we hadn’t yet articulated.
You did such a splendid job of acknowledging and building on everyone’s input so that we achieved the outcome in a fun and collaborative way. We were swept along with the energy of the day and I think the experience heightened everyone’s commitment and enthusiasm to fulfil the dream and vision of our organisation.
— Petrea - CEO, Quest for Life, 2011
The thing I enjoyed the most during this leadership program was the coaching sessions that Nic facilitated for me. It was my much-required vitality shots. It amazed me on how Nic could make me connect with my inner truth and bring out what was yearning for my attention, and then we would collectively work together on trying to address whatever it was.
— Shweta, Snr Product Manage, Intuit, 2020
Nicole played a vital role in both coaching and mentoring me which enabled me to have a smooth transition into my next career stage. She was able to identify my strengths, assist with overcoming some of my challenges and teach me how to become a more self-aware leader. Nicole was able to ask the right questions which would lead me to reflect and in turn lead to positive changes. The critical skill that she was able to teach me and which was the turning point in my career was how to manage upwards. I cannot express my gratitude enough with Nicole and the valuable lessons I have learnt but thank you Nicole the lessons I have learned I will use throughout my career.
— Melanie - NSW Trade & Retail Manager, GWA Group, 2018

— Chris - Commonwealth Government, Canberra
I have been practicing my meditation these past few weeks and feel great. I feel energetic, confident and happy. These tools are invaluable to me and I enjoy embedding them into my daily routine and whenever I feel challenged. These Mindfulness & Wellbeing Sessions are very powerful and have given me a sense of hope and confidence back - thanks Nic!
— Rebecca, Mindfulness & Wellbeing Series Participant, 2018
Nicole is awesome and she’s made a huge impact on the business during her time here! I hope to cross path’s with her again!
— Tony, Snr Marketing Manager, Leadership Program, Former GWA Group, 2018
Nicole is an outstanding facilitator who is thoughtful and analytical. Nicole made sure that we dedicated the time to properly prepare for our strategic planning days which were a success. She also made sure that all the sections were carefully structured and that every staff member felt they were part of the process. The result surpassed our expectations! Thanks again for your wonderful contribution.
— Carolina - CEO, Refugee Services 2019
Nicole has a unique passion and holistic approach to coaching. She embodies the meaning of leading with compassion and has a gift of creating calm in times of crazy. Nicole has the ability to create a space which allows you to feel vulnerable and yet supported in the coaching process. Living in a current state of unknown, Nicole has assisted me in unlocking some of the challenges I face and stepping into being me. By recognising my strengths and pain points, this enabled me to navigate my way to gratitude and concentrate on the things that bring me joy. Leading with compassion and being authentic to myself has been a key take away from my sessions with Nicole. Thank you Nicole, you are a truly wonderful coach!
