Your most valuable asset is your people, so it’s a no-brainer that you need every single one to be operating at their best and achieving their full potential.

I work with the whole spectrum of job roles within agencies because I believe passionately that coaching is not just for senior leadership roles, it can have a dramatic effect on bottom lines at all levels and in all functions, helping to foster a dynamic and collaborative working culture.









“Niki has been working in a consulting capacity with Stott and May for a few months now as we needed an external facilitator to help us put together a strategy and plan specifically within our People and Performance team. Niki’s approach so far has been incredibly insightful and even after the first session of brainstorming and planning, we came away feeling like we’d started to get clarity. Whilst approaching things in a professional manner, Niki is also very personable and whether it be group or one to one work, she creates a relaxed environment that enables people to think and innovate.”
