Why Choose Coaching?

- I support you with practical tools and learnings to enhance your resilience ‘bucket’.

Meet Nichola
Hi, I’m Nichola. It’s great to have you here.
I’ve had many standout moments which have shaped who I am in the world. At 32, I began the ‘Cancer Dance’—an ongoing diagnosis that brought so much fear yet so much richness to my life.
This earth-shattering experience impacted me and taught me about life, and myself, in many ways. I’d love to share five of those with you:
- Life is fragile, and we only have one ‘go’ at it. Like most other human beings, before my cancer diagnosis, I often reverted to old habits and un-serving behaviours rather than listening to my heart.
- We need to be more kind to our bodies and minds, and that adequate rest is an absolute must for good health and wellbeing.
- Resiliency is not a static entity. I learned I needed to keep my ‘bucket’ filled up while constantly affirming and tweaking any unhelpful thinking patterns.
- Keeping perspective is key. I know what it’s like to be afraid, and in those moments, I lost sight of my optimism and often retreated into myself and lost perspective. Like all tunnels, there was light at the end if I was patient with myself (This is a skill I am still working on!).
- I discovered that the only barriers to my career and change were myself. I had long suffered from feelings of me “not being smart enough”, overthinking and over-questioning, and worrying about what others thought. This kept my old narratives alive and thriving, which ultimately limited my potential.
