TESTIMONIALS

"Nicola is one of the lead lawbreakers at She Breaks the Law, a global community of senior women in law who care about change in disruption in the legal industry and coming together to share, create and learn. For some years now, Noo has hosted regular digital cafe meetings to discuss important issues for the community, using her outstanding skills as a facilitator, coach and trained business psychologist. She has outstanding intellect and emotional intelligence and her sessions are always packed with insights, support and take-aways and she has a gift of making every person in the digital or physical room feel included and nurtured. She has a fierce passion for the continuous learning journey."

"Nicola spent a couple of days working with various people at the firm in small groups to explore how the firm’s values were being lived out in practice. She was universally well received and was adept at encouraging people to get involved and open up. The sessions were not just informative and helpful for those who attended (their feedback was extremely positive) but the report that Nicola prepared on the back of her work provided a strong foundation for a firmwide culture/values review. The firm holds a Business Briefing each year where all employees come along to earn about how well the business is going and to celebrate team and individual success. Nicola presented her work at the briefing and was superb. She is a very professional, engaging and amusing speaker who is able to challenge and encourage in equal measure. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Nicola to other businesses looking to take stock of their values or for an authentic and very engaging speaker. A very skilful, flexible, and natural operator."
