"Nikie's approach to learning is built on experience and a real desire to help people to learn. Nikie recognises that the way to do this is to engage people in their personal development ... and she is very good at doing this." Andy Granston ~ Director at the Turning Circle

"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
