1-on-1 coaching for career change

Discover your dream life best fit business or role.

1-on-1 coaching for career change is for you

if  you want to be fully supported through each of the 7 key steps in my proven career change program.

This is for you if you need to make a career change and don’t know what that change is. You also be time poor and want the regular 1-on-1 sessions to help you stay on track. Or you may want to not only be very clear and confident in your new direction, but want to be highly strategic in your implementation.

Are you a business owner and:

  • fed up & stressed in your current business?
  • working too many hours and feeling drained and de-motivated?
  • unsure & frustrated what you need to do to turn things around?
  • wondering whether it’s about re-claiming time, or creating more meaning in the business?

If you answer YES to any of these then partnering‑up with a psychologist/career coach will move you from fed‑up, unsure and confused, to motivated, confident and clear.

Some client stories to inspire you

Liv, 42, has moved from a business that was a bad fit to start one that strongly aligns with her strengths and lifestyle needs 

What Liv says:

“I was at a crossroads in my career and trying to decide what to do next. I had joined a business that was not the right fit but I couldn’t quite place my finger on why.

Through Nikki’s 7 Step Career Change program I learnt that my definition of success is quite different to my parents’, and that I need to stop living theirs.

The strengths insights were huge! I identified my strengths and built my understanding of how I can maximise those in my work rather than try to improve at a whole lot of things that I’m not naturally good at.

I realised that I can have a portfolio career. I can do more than one thing.

The first module was fantastic, because it allowed me to incorporate components of different dream lives and dream work lives into my life. Loved it!

If you’re looking for clarity on what you can do, what you want to do and what you wish to do, this course is a great resource.

Nikki has the ability to clearly define what’s really going on. She had insights for me that I didn’t know myself. She provides clarity and strategy.

Now I am building my own mindfulness business: Liv Mindfully.

Because I am so clear on what I am doing I’ve been approached by 4 people in the past month and I’ve said No with ease

In the past I would have been flattered and said yes. I need freedom I now say yes to projects and no to partnerships.”

What Samantha says:

“I say, ‘I want to dominate the world!’ and Nikki says, ‘Great! Start with your first client.’

I chose the online program with the monthly momentum group calls. Nikki has a genius ability to break big ideas down into mini-experiments. She also sees connections between ideas where I didn’t.

From one conversation with me, Nikki identified a strength of mine that I hadn’t considered using in a business.

I’m darn good at salary negotiation and putting boundaries in place at work, and unfortunately a lot of other people aren’t. I’ve since piloted work negotiation coaching with another client of hers and I loved it.  I cover negotiating salary and the actual work you want to do, plus boundaries and how to communicate and manage up.

I’m now launching this new stream to my business. Thank you Nikki!"

Some testimonials to inspire you

“Nikki you are positive and insightful. You cut through and always have something new to offer (usually outside of anything I would have thought). You are so practical, but have a crazy amount of heart. It is so easy to see that you are really good at what you do.”

Lisa Corduff in the Kitchen, Creator of Small Steps to Wholefoods e-course and membership, www.lisacorduff.com

 

“Before my session with Nikki, I felt stressed, goal-less, unmotivated.

The biggest change has been seeing in black and white what my strengths are.  Feeling vindicated that I am playing to my strengths.  I had started to forget what they were!

Nikki, you have empowered me and given me permission to re-claim my working week. In one session I have cut down 10 hours in my work week.

The best part of working with Nikki is that she shows me how to go about making my business more streamlined without feeling guilty.  I can see now, that with planning, I can have my vision of a balanced happy life.

If you want to step up to the next level in their business, work with Nikki so that your dream can become your reality.”

Wendy Maddock, Marketing and Communications Consultant

 

“I had a session with the gorgeous Nikki and it was fantastic! We focused on my strengths and how I can balance them, and how to better express what I do, which I loved because I always struggle with that.  I also re-claimed 5 hours in my work week.”

Michelle Millichimp, web developer & strategist, michellemillichip.com

 

“Identifying my strengths has assisted me to implement measures which will save me time, and allow me to use that time to be working, generating my income.

I have been involved with several different business coaches and courses. Nikki has a very unique skill set and intricate knowledge of human behaviour that sets her apart. She is also a great supportive ‘cheerleader’ to have behind you.”

Fiona McCord, small business lawyerwww.baselegal.com.au

 

To generate more income with ease:

I generated 40% more income year on year by applying strengths principles. Thank you Nikki!”

Doone Clifton, Gecko Bookkeeping Services

 

“I had a strengths session with Nikki so I could understand my strengths better and optimize my ability as a leader to uplift and inspire others. I also have some business and health goals that I was wanting to make sure I succeeded at.

One of the most helpful things about the session was learning how I can apply my achiever strength to goals outside of my business which hasn’t felt simple or easy before. Now I have a step by step plan to do this.

I feel uplifted and confident.”

Katrina Andrew, Arbonne Independent Consultant

 

Thanks so much for the fascinating insight you provided to me with the Gallup Strengths Finder test and consultation. I really loved it. Here's why: 

Despite having decent self-awareness, and the benefit of numerous other personality and cognitive tests under my belt prior to completing your tests, I completed the process with a much deeper understanding of how I tick, and how to best utilise my strengths. 

The Gallup Strengths reports were certainly spot on! Clarity around my top 5 strengths helped me understand why I operate the way I do, how my take on things (especially Maximiser) might really work for some people, whilst repelling others; and HOW to really value my uniqueness.  This concept can be quite theoretical, until you really get to grips with the implication of being one in 33 million! I can also now quantify how to "dial back" my strengths, to make room for the traits that need a bit more flexing... to optimise my results. I can already see how just 1 hour a day dedicated to structured planning, is already making a solid difference. It feels do-able, and so freeing. I feel like I have had a blind fold removed, and that I can truly appreciate and love me, for who I am. Your lovely, warm way of sharing your insights, and directing the discussion, was a also a lovely, gentle way to discuss the info being shared.

Thanks again Nikki! I am sure this tool will find its way into the Nicheonomy 'Know Thyself' Package as the Platinum offer.”
