About Nic

About my Journey

I have experienced burnout and fatigue through a build up of personal and professional stressors including trauma of losing my brother-in law when he took his own life. After Adrenal Fatigue kicked in, I left the corporate world and my 14 years experience behind me and had to pretty much stop everything and take a real look at my life; nutrition, life choices, purpose and environment in order to come back to balance.

Having this kind of ‘endocrine or physical breakdown’ was the best thing that could have happened.

I used to have 2 very different worlds: corporate Nic and Wellness Nic. Prior to retraining and going down the wellness route, having personally experienced burnout, I was Group Head of Learning and Development for a global corporate.

Having been on that journey back to recovery and years of sharing these tips with others - initially through one to one hypnotherapy and NLP coaching - and then via group sessions mainly on retreats, of which I have ran more than 90 under Inspire - Rewire: Retreats and Events - my 2 worlds became 1.

The journey came full circle in 2020 when companies started to pay attention to mental wellbeing. It’s still very much a work in progress in this world, but now I dedicate my time to supporting teams, leaders and entrepreneurs in this way. I do this mainly through group sessions, keynote and retreats - both public and corporate. I’ve worked with Adnoc, Unilever, PwC, Tate & Lyle, MSD and Merck, Coleg Cambria, Chester/Liverpool/Salford university and small businesses in UK, US, UAE and across Europe.

I specialize in those gritty leadership topics such as difficult conversations or healthy debate, conflict resolution, resilience, burnout and emotional regulation, inner self leadership and so on. Bringing a bit of authenticity and yet practical application into the workplace. But also nervous system regulation, energy management and emotional regulation.

I do this work because I was that unstoppable superwoman in the corporate world who had to be forced to stop in order to rewire. It doesn’t have to be this way and I am on a mission to help others see and recognise the warning signs and to put boundaries in place to stop self-sabotage, overwhelm and people-pleasing, instead encouraging that pause, so that we have a chance to really connect with ourselves and what actually makes us happy, through making space for wellness. Allowing for time, space and permission to navigate through our emotions with tools and self-esteem, speaking up and asserting ourselves, releasing the burden of perfectionism and living an empowered imperfect life.”

Sample webinar topics:

Resilience 1. Johari window model

This is a Learning and Development tool where we look at 4 areas of our personality (known, hidden, open and unknown) components of ourselves. The 'unknown' is what is revealed during unusual circumstances, our of comfort zone and/or emergencies, revealing to us what we are capable of and can draw upon now that we know 

Resilience 2. 4 personality types and working with our opposites.

Based on the Carl Jungian approach to psychology there is a training called Insights which I am trained in as a coach and Facilitator. I will share the 4 types and talk about blind spots and different communication styles

Resilience 3. Adaptability and flexibility. 

Looking at the difference between the two - maintaining your personality while meeting people half way, as a follow on from no.2. NLP communication techniques can be applied such as mirroring, rapport gaining, choosing to use the preferred style as your opposite 

Resilience 4. Confidence and self esteem

Working with CBT for core beliefs 

Conflict Resolution

Holding sessions with teams struggling with difference of opinions, feelings of unfairness or post-covid conflicts and confusion and feeding back to management. Sessions give opportunities for either confidential or open feedback as well as team/ individual and written versus verbal to ensure everyone is heard.

Action plans can also be provided.

Life wheel NLP activity - to reduce overwhelm

This involves categorising parts of your life. It can be done as personal or professional. We will carry out one for both. This will highlight that we can't possibly have a perfect wheel - one impacts the others so it's about stepping back and looking at our roles and jobs from another perspective

Managing in a hybrid environment (if this is applicable to LG). Remote workers, engagement, connection, feedback and touching on performance management

Self-Leadership (increasing self-awareness through Insights Discovery) - a Carl Jungian psychometrics tool like MBTI) aimed to understand ourselves and others. This also touches on cultural norms too where we can bring in a character of a culture such as LG. It's great for improving peer to peer relationships and with our own team members.

Managing Change in a Fast Paced Environment (using change models but going into more detail in reality about emotions can impact the team engagement and dynamics. Therefore touching on managing our own emotions) - no.1 and no.2 could always be a blend

Leading difficult and delicate conversations (learning strategies, go-to phrases in from dealing with conflict to giving back negative feedback or letting someone go. Including confidence building around that)

70:20:10 (how to develop self and/or team in traditional and nontraditional ways - how to )

Managing Anger (self or others - before - reducing triggers. During - how to manage self. After - reflection and cleaning up)

GROW Model - How to develop a coaching mindset (including some element of NLP)

Developing Positive New Habits (Motivation and Vision to embark on a journey of success using the progress curve model for reality of dips and drops for long term success)

Developing your self care toolkit (using positive and negative spirals of self awareness to make empowered choices with tips and techniques and real practical examples)

NLP Introduction tuse of words, patterns and practical tools e.g. Confidence, Courage and Calm-Assertiveness using NLP circle of confidence technique or swish process (managing our emotions)

NLP Life Wheel Technique for reducing overwhelm ( how to take a step back at all the life elements and understand what needs to be improved, what can stay the same and what areas impact others)

Adrenal Fatigue - what burnout is and how to heal from it (The Stress Tank - hormonal reactions to stress and how to rebalance, boundaries, Morning food/drink/mind rituals to increase motivation and energy during difficult times)

Mental health awareness -

overview of conditions, behaviours within those areas and how to support self and someone you may feel is struggling

Our 1 Day Reset Coaching days are a day dedicated to you where you can take as long as you need to talk about your story, symptoms and what's happening with you. After the morning call we will develop a plan for the day together and I will share relevant videos or techniques that fit what you are experiencing. This can also be arranged in-person

During the day, we will keep in touch on what's happening and then we will finish the day with another call at a time that suits you. There will be a coaching email sent a week after as a check point on any hurdles and any other support you may need.
