Hi, I’m Nicola.
​
I’ve always been driven by two things: having a meaningful impact and feeling deeply fulfilled in my relationships—whether in leadership, love, or life.
​
But for years, I struggled to find that balance.
​
At first, I sacrificed parts of myself to be well-liked, respected and admired. I people-pleased at work, over-accommodated in relationships, and thought being agreeable would lead to success. Instead, it undermined my value—both in the workplace and in my partnerships.
​
After leaving an unhealthy relationship where I was disrespected, and a job where my boundaries were repeatedly crossed, I made a vow: I would never be taken advantage of again.
​
In response, I swung to the other extreme. I became overly assertive, controlling, and sharp, I saw vulnerability as weakness, and took a hard-line approach to everything—trying to assert power but losing trust and connection in the process.
​
Neither version of me—the over-giver nor the over-controller—felt truly empowered. Neither one led to deeper relationships or greater success.
​
Everything changed when I learned to master my communication skills—using them to build trust, motivate action, and influence others—while balancing my masculine and feminine traits: combining assertiveness with warmth, confidence with curiosity, and authenticity with emotional resonance.
​
​This has led to relationships built on reciprocity, mutual admiration, and respect—across business, romance, and life. In business, I led more powerfully and ignited deeper transformations for my clients. My friendships became more meaningful, and in partnership, I experienced greater passion, depth, and intimacy than ever before.
Now, I help leaders, couples, and organizations do the same because leadership isn’t compartmentalized. Who you are at work shapes who you are in relationships and in life—and vice versa.​
​
Through my coaching, workshops, and speaking, I teach leaders how to communicate with clarity, build trust through authenticity, and influence with emotional resonance—transforming how they lead and connect in every area of life.
​
As an ICF-certified communication and leadership coach, I bring proven strategies and expertise to support your growth.
​
If you want to master influence, deepen relationships, and leave a lasting impact, let’s start the journey.
What Sets Me Apart​
Most coaches stop at teaching techniques. I focus on creating transformative shifts—helping teams build trust, deepen understanding, and communicate in ways that energize everyone involved. Because when relationships thrive, organizations thrive.
​
Expertise in Professional and Personal Realms
My experience spans both corporate teams and personal relationships. I recognize that how people show up in one area affects every other part of their lives. My frameworks are adaptable to both settings, meaning leaders don’t just succeed at work—they become better partners, parents, and human beings.
​
Evidence-Based with Real-World Insight
I combine data from Harvard, Gallup, and the latest research with my hands-on experience coaching teams and leaders. I use proven statistics to back my strategies, but I also share real-world stories to make them relatable and memorable.
​
Mastery of Balanced Leadership
I bring a deep understanding of balanced masculine and feminine leadership dynamics, within an individual and in a dynamic—a key to authentic influence that’s often misunderstood. I’m passionate about helping leaders navigate the complexities of today’s diverse workplace, balancing assertiveness with emotional resonance, and other leadership traits, and fostering an environment that motivates, inspires, and drives results.
