Think differently isn't just a trademark, it's a life's work. Nicola doesn't just talk it, she been doing it for years, guiding executives, senior leaders, and change-makers to rethink what’s possible.
She's a master at cutting through the noise, challenging assumptions, connecting the dots and helping her clients design futures that actually work. Impact should be her middle name.
A sought-after strategist, public speaker and a creative force, Nicola blends sharp insight and wit with a creative flair as she presents and illustrates live on her iPad, often venturing where many public speakers fear to tread.
Whether she’s working with a boardroom full of skeptics or a team on the edge of burnout, Nicola knows how to provoke fresh ideas, inspire bold moves, and turn complicated problems into actionable strategies. People often describe her as positive, energetic, and unexpectedly funny. A wicked sense of humour, a human at heart, and a mind that will have you explore what you might have once thought impossible.
She is as comfortable on the shop floor as she is in the boardroom. From sophisticated Switzerland to rural Swaziland, and everywhere in between, Nicola has traversed continents diving into the hearts and minds of her clients. She doesn't only inspire change, she is a master at curating it.
Passionate about value creation, and the need to drive triple bottom line thinking, Nicola's sessions will open the doors of your mind to possibility, lighting sparks that turn new ideas into extraordinary results.
"The closer you are to the origination of an idea the more likely you are to implement it."

de Bono Disciple, With a Twist
