About Nicky
Commercial experience, calm coaching.
If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do next, you are not alone. My job is to help you get clear on what you want, build confidence in your decisions, and take practical steps forward in your career or business.
A bit about my background
I am a senior business and operations professional with over 25 years’ experience building, growing and sustaining owner-led businesses, with a strong track record in business development, partnerships and trusted relationships.
I founded and now run Aspired Coaching, supporting people through career progression, business growth and confidence building. I bring a mix of commercial experience and calm coaching, and I now use that experience to help people make progress, without the noise or the waffle.
Alongside client work, I also mentor business owners and leaders through the Help to Grow programme, and support young women through the Empowering Girls programme.
My approach
People often tell me they feel calmer after our first conversation because they finally have space to think. My coaching is:
- Warm, direct and supportive
- Structured, so we do not just talk, we move
- Practical, with clear next steps you can actually follow through on
You will leave sessions with more clarity, a plan you trust, and a stronger sense of “I can do this.”
Sessions run online, in person, or as a walk-and-talk. “Walking creates headspace. And headspace creates better decisions.” Why I use walking coaching
