About Nicky
My story
I come from a family of creatives. Writing plays, singing four-part harmonies and performing on stage were a normal growing up. However, like many creative people, I was confused. The creative industries were enticing, but competitive. My fear was ‘how can I make a living doing something I love’?
I explored multiple passions. I’ve been a jazz singer, radio journalist, dance teacher and worked in music PR. I still had the same fears: “Unless I am famous, how could I financially survive?”
In 2002, I headed to London and worked at the BBC on a project called ‘Making it Happen’. I volunteered to lead some creativity workshops and this was the lightening bolt that gave me the clarity I’d never had. I discovered that my number one skill was to facilitate people to think more creatively and this led to a whole new career. I found something I was great at that also involved many of my passions… and made money!
I discovered my purpose was to empower people to bring more authentic creativity into the world.
Since then, I’ve discovered everyone has a deep purpose that they may not be realising. My job, as a creative coach, is to help people to find the sweet spot that brings them alive.
I now divide my time between coaching creatives to find their clarity and working with leaders in business to be more authentic and creative.
And – I love what I do! 🙂
