What others have to say about Nikie Forster
“I first came across Nikie through her quirky and different posts which I’m always compelled to look at further and find myself drawn to. We talked and I described the kind of creative experiments we’re keen to encourage in my team and asked her to share all her secrets! She created a great day packed full of ideas, taught my team how dopamine makes the difference in learning and we left with a shopping list and inspired and reassured that what we were already doing was value add coupled with some ideas to make them even better. From before the day to after she demonstrated how creativity engages and lands learning.” Natalie Rogers - Head of Talent, Learning & Development at Greencore
“Hands up if you think you are creative?' That is a question that usually leads to me putting my hands firmly on the ground! But, after a session with Nikie Forster of Curious Lighthouse, I was thinking completely differently........ Enlightening and motivating, I am now kidding myself I can be a NASA Astronaut, have a new desk buddy called 'Daisy Duck' and am the proud owner of this beautiful lighthouse... Thank you Nikie for such an informative session.” Laura Macarthy MICB - Certified Bookkeeper & Director at Now Bookkeeping Ltd
“Nikie is a very knowledgeable person when it comes to L&D. She instinctively knows how to support your learning projects.

Thank you Nikie.” Beverley Poole - eLearning entrepreneur, Speaker, Business Mentor.

"Nikie has changed my life at work! She has worked with us in building trust and open communication within the management team. It has completely changed our communication style and has had a great impact on our moral." Hana ~ Senior Manager
"Nikie and I worked together at Berry Bros & Rudd, where she was the Learning & Development Manager reporting into me as Chief Operating Officer.
At the time BB&R was experiencing a step change in momentum and needed to ensure the support and training functions kept up and indeed pre-empted future requirements. One of Nikie’s key initiatives at that time was to implement an In-House Training team that not only supported the training needs of the business, but also provided development opportunities for those involved in the team.
Ultimately this In-House Training programme was designed to deliver a more highly-skilled & efficient workforce, increase productivity, reduce business costs, provide a greater opportunity to embed the BB&R standards and values across the business and to be ‘great’ at L&D rather than just ‘good/ok’.
As her Manager I found Nikie to be very motivated, self-driven and determined. She was able to influence at all levels including Board members and set very high standards for herself and the business. She is imaginative, creative and has very approachable, likeable, coaching style. She listens to all views and considers these carefully before responding.
As part of the In-House Training Team Nikie took our professionalism and standards with regards to L&D to a new level and above all embedded a culture of L&D, and its importance, into the business.
I would recommend Nikie for any organisation that is seeking to align L&D with business objectives and that favours a bespoke, personal programme that can be geared to the culture and needs of the business." Robin McMillan ~ Chief Executive
