Started a Business or Working for Themselves

“I was really fortunate to attend one of Nicola’s workshops back in 2021 when I was at a crossroads in my life. At the time I was considering changing job, and also toying with the idea of starting my own business. Nicola’s practical toolkit empowered me to take action. She enabled me to breakdown my big ambitions into smaller actionable steps. That year I launched my business which was subsequently featured multiple times in the Irish Times and the Irish Country Magazine. Nicola was instrumental in my success. If you are considering a career change, my advice is not to hesitate, reach out to Nicola to learn more.”

“I had explored my career options in several different ways. However, each time I got into something, I started to back away, trying to figure out where to focus my energy. I realised that I needed professional help.

Having an independent and professionally trained coach to connect with was very helpful, especially being able to meet online. This made the sessions more objective in the comfort of your home.

The coaching was excellent - I enjoyed the subtle and calm approach.

Since starting to work with Nicola, much has changed for me. This includes a better understanding of who I am and, perhaps more importantly, my core values. The process helped me understand why I felt frustrated at my previous workplaces. I now feel focused with a healthy sense of time to move forward into new avenues.

Coaching requires patience and time to invest. It’s not a quick fix. Some insights you learn from session to session can help change your perspectives. This has helped with my motivation.

Coaching with Nicola has been a very positive experience and process. I feel profoundly different from when I started to where I am now. I’m focused and taking action towards a new, exciting career direction.”

“To have someone like Nicola working with me, made all the difference.

Coaching empowered me in a way that I hadn’t ever felt about starting my own business, and helped me to take action on something that I had dreamed about for a long time, but never felt able to pursue in any meaningful way.

I have maintained my motivation to continue on with my business idea, I love going to my desk to get started in the mornings. I am excited and hopeful for the future of my business and feel very equipped to deal with whatever comes my way.”

“I hated my job as a teacher but I was struggling to think of an alternative career. I needed support to find direction, purpose and clarity.

Nicola’s questioning really encouraged me to think more deeply about what I enjoy doing and what skills I enjoy using. Nicola is friendly and personable which instantly put me at ease, and she challenged and supported me to plan my next steps. I have a much clearer idea of what I enjoy doing and what I want my future career to look like. I have enrolled on a health coaching course as health/fitness and ‘helping others’ is something I am passionate about.

The best part is that I feel confident in my decision, as well as happy and excited!”
