I asked Nicole to attend my manager’s meeting to run a session on wellbeing. The meeting comprised of scientists, many of whom are usually quite sceptical to such topics! However, from the start of the session Nicole was able to get everyone on board. She put her own spin on it, and ensured that everyone was able to get something out of it.

Rather than focus on the usual aspects of wellbeing, Nicole tailored the session to the team. This allowed each person to discover their individual personal strengths and how to use them for wellbeing. I cannot wait to put some of the many ‘Aha’ moments I experienced into practice.

I am always confident in Nicole’s ability to deliver. She offers a great service and understands how to tailor the sessions to individual needs. This, and her great interpersonal skills, makes it a pleasure to work with her. She is always extremely organised and professional. I know if Nicole is running a session for me or the team, we are in good hands!

Due to new responsibilities of the department, the team structure, as well as the people in my team have changed significantly. By having a team coaching I wanted the team to get from being a group of people to becoming an engaged team. I wanted them to understand each other’s challenges and offer improvement ideas beyond their expertise and comfort zone.

By spending the right amount of time in preparing the team coaching and aligning the important elements, Nicole was able to maximize the our value of the session. Next to Nicole’s ability to enthusiastically engage the team to participate in topics which need to be handled with care, she is very good in pinpointing opportunities to convert them into tangible action.

Since the team coaching my team takes more time to listen to each other and share difficulties, because they know it’s a safe space. We also agreed some rules and hold each other accountable, which helps us to learn together.

Nicole's trusting and open nature has made it easy for me to feel comfortable and open to her from the beginning. She is focussed, never judgmental and asks exactly the right questions. Her patience and knowledge of human nature have made it clear to me where my insecurities are and how I can dissolve them. She gave me the nudge to break limiting thought patterns and to see my strengths more clearly. What helped me in particular was that we worked out practical steps that I could implement directly. Thank you for your help!
