Executive Business Coach
If you’re a consultant, coach or founder of a boutique professional services firm — and you want to increase influence, trust, and performance in high-stakes environments — then, perhaps I can help.
Hi, I'm Nicol!
​
Born and raised in Birmingham, I've always been fascinated by one fundamental question:
"What invisible barriers hold brilliant people back from extraordinary achievement?"
​
This curiosity has driven my two-decade journey into the depths of human potential.
As an executive coach, I've discovered that the gap between moderate success and exceptional results often comes down to subtle shifts in thinking—tiny pivots that create massive ripples in performance.
​
I've guided Managing Partners, attorneys, and executives through corporate-wide transformations and built intimate learning communities for independent CEOs. But beneath these different contexts, my work always centers on one core truth: With the right mindset shifts and deliberate action, you can accomplish far more than you imagine.
​
My approach isn't about motivational speeches or quick fixes. It's about revealing the hidden patterns that keep you playing small—then systematically dismantling them.
​

Which Brings Me to You
​​​
Everything I do—from free content to immersive online training programs and personalized workshops—is designed to help you create a life and business you truly love. A life filled with purpose, freedom, and impact.
​
Whether you’re just starting out, scaling your knowledge-based business, or wanting to make sound decisions under extreme stress, I’m here to help you step into your fullest leadership potential with clarity and confidence.


No matter where you are in your journey, here are a few ways I might be able to help.
• Experiencing stress. Lots of it!
You're navigating stress from all directions—demands from above and below, constant time pressures, and lingering questions about meaning and balance. This is where I help create transformative shifts in how you show up, think, and lead.
​
• Struggling to connect with and influence premium clients?
Using powerful state management techniques, I help you build the interpersonal flexibility needed to adapt your impact—whether you're leading a team, negotiating a deal, presenting your ideas, or facilitating high-stakes conversations.
How I Can Help You
Why Work with Me?
I’m a certified executive coach with over two decades of experience sitting on all sides of the table—employee, leader, and advisor.
​
I work primarily with law firm leaders and their teams, helping them navigate high-pressure environments while expanding their influence, presence, and performance.
My approach draws on advanced training—including negotiation studies at Harvard Law School—and development in the fields of behavioral science, communication, and performance psychology.
​
This unique perspective allows me to deeply understand what it takes to lead and succeed—mentally, strategically, and interpersonally—especially in complex, high-stakes settings.
​
Nearly fifteen years living and working across Australia, Indonesia, and the Caribbean have further shaped my worldview. These global experiences inform every coaching session, keynote, and workshop I deliver—bringing nuance, depth, and cultural sensitivity to the way I support ambitious professionals.
