What it's Like to Work With Nicola

Feedback from senior leaders and organisations Nicola supports.

“I’m really delighted to have worked with Nicola for over 20 years. Her work as an Executive coach with key senior leaders, at ExCo level or ExCo - 1 level, is transformative. She builds relationships, where her honesty and clarity enable leaders to cut through to focus on what’s key for them. She carefully balances a level of care and challenge, which means that leaders feel both supported, but also held accountable.”

“Dr Nicola Lincoln is one of those rare people who combines a formidable intellect with an even greater emotional intelligence. She has the ability to see the organisation and the individual within it - understanding performance, pressure, and people with equal depth and insight. Wherever Nicola goes, she adds value. Not just in measurable outcomes and the bottom line but – just as significantly - in the way people feel, think, and show up after spending invaluable time with her. She has an incredible ability to ask better questions, listen with intent and brings clarity within chaos. In high-performance cultures, that blend is gold dust. Nicola doesn’t just improve performance - she elevates the culture around it. Quite simply, working with Nicola makes people - and organisations - better.”
