About Inspire - Rewire
Working with organisations on growth mindset (change/resilience, leadership and self-leadership) including team dynamics and synergy, workplace well-being, engagement and overall people and culture strategy, from teams of 10 to 13,000 in size.
“Helping people and organisations release their true empowerment to make changes, and reveal potential, to be the best possible version of themselves, turning individual growth into company goals.”
With 20+ years in L&D including Group Head of L&D for Chalhoub, I have gained Fellowship at CIPD level 7 for my metric driven strategy combined with my psychology masters. As a senior consultant I am also expert in LNA, including setting up L&D departments/academies. With an OD mindset my aim is to foster a learning culture that breeds innovation and growth for the individuals and the company.
I’ve since worked with brands like Airbus, PwC, Merck, LG, Chalhoub, Tate & Lyle, scaling award-winning teams and sprinkling a little humanity into corporate. I went on to run my own business for 10 years (Inspire – Rewire) helping others with the same through coaching/hypnotherapy and group support such as running leadership retreats and leading wellbeing events.

“Over this last academic year we have worked closely with Inspire - Rewire and the lovely Nic Wagstaff (MCIPD, BSc MSc Hons). The impact Nic has had on the personal growth and development of numerous departments/individuals within the college has been truly brilliant.
Nic possesses the ability to create an engaging and transformative environment. Her passion and enthusiasm for instilling a positive mindset was infectious, sparking an immediate sense of inspiration and motivation within many of our colleagues at the college. This was evident from the feedback many of our colleagues provided after attending Nics sessions.
Nic demonstrated a deep understanding of mindset psychology. Her training sessions were well-structured, balanced, and expertly designed to foster meaningful introspection, self-reflection, and personal growth.
Nic challenged collegues to embrace new perspectives, overcome limiting beliefs, and unlock their true capabilities. She created a safe space for vulnerability and personal breakthroughs.
Her exceptional communication skills, combined with her warm and approachable demeanor, allowed her to connect with diverse audiences effortlessly. She tailored training to meet the unique needs and aspirations of each area she worked with.
Nics expertise extended beyond the training room. She provided invaluable tools, resources and advice/ongoing support to help us reinforce the learning from her training with teams.
If you are seeking a trainer who can truly inspire and equip individuals with the mindset tools for success, I wholeheartedly encourage you to embrace Nic's expertise. We look forward to our continued work with inspire-Rewire/Nic over the coming academic year.”
