I had the privilege of working with Nikki during an extremely challenging and transformative period of my career. During our time together, I was navigating significant organizational changes that required both strategic thinking and adaptive leadership skills. What set Nikki apart was her exceptional ability to truly listen. In every session, I felt heard and understood, which created the space for me to explore complex workplace dynamics and growth opportunities.

Beyond being a strong listener, Nikki consistently provided actionable feedback and practical advice that I could immediately implement. Rather than offering generic solutions, she tailored guidance to my specific role, challenges, and leadership style. Her recommendations were always grounded in real-world application and delivered with clarity and purpose.

Most importantly, Nikki was instrumental in helping me successfully navigate the extreme changes taking place at work during our time together. She provided frameworks for managing uncertainty, strategies for leading through transition, and tools for maintaining productivity during turbulent times. Her support was invaluable in helping me emerge as a stronger, more confident leader.

I would highly recommend Nikki to any leader looking for a coach who combines deep listening skills with practical, results-oriented guidance. Her expertise made a difference in both my professional effectiveness and personal growth.

Client, SaaS Industry, Performance Marketing Manager

Nikki has coached me for the past three years as I entered a new phase of my career in Sales Enablement. I sought Nikki out because of her extensive experience working in both startup and enterprise environments across sales and enablement, and her incredible reputation. Just ask anyone she’s worked with! Nikki comes highly recommended by leaders in sales, revenue operations, and enablement, and I knew she had the expertise and role-specific knowledge to help me build confidence in this new arena.

From our very first session, I was blown away by her compassion, empathy, and how quickly I felt comfortable opening up to her. At the start of each session, she helped me clearly define where to focus our time together for maximum impact. She also helped me set goals at the end of each session and held me accountable for making progress.

Throughout our time together, I faced imposter syndrome, challenging professional relationships, and even being laid off from a dream company. Nikki guided me through each of these moments — listening to my concerns, pushing me when I needed it, and ultimately helping me become the confident, respected enablement leader I am today.

You won’t regret working with Nikki to reach your professional goals.

Client, SaaS Industry, Revenue Enablement Leader

I used to speak my mind clearly, but still felt unheard. I’d get frustrated when I saw changes made only after someone else with more influence made the same suggestion months after I had. Nikki taught me that it’s not just about influence — it’s also about positioning. With her coaching, I’ve gained support for my ideas and strengthened my relationships with colleagues.

Client, SaaS Industry, Senior Manager in Enablement

I've been working with Nikki as my executive coach since May 2023, meeting about twice a month. Nikki has had a greater impact on my professional development than anyone else over the past 18 months. What stands out about Nikki is that she puts you in the driver’s seat of your own development. More often than not, I leave our sessions feeling like I’ve talked myself into a solution that was right in front of me — but I know that’s thanks to Nikki’s deeply perceptive and empowering coaching style. I’d recommend Nikki without hesitation to anyone looking to fuel their personal growth.
