In a nutshell I collaborate with people to help get themselves moving away from "pain" and towards "pleasure". I define pain as the things in life that make us feel like we have failed or perhaps like we aren't succeeding. Maybe even the feeling that so many of us experience when we aren't achieving our goals.

Mrs B.
During my recent coaching session with Nik I was able to clearly articulate what I truly wanted from the next stage of my career. The method and approaches applied during the session enabled me to organise what I want from my work, what’s important to me and what my core values are. I came away from the session with a well-defined plan of action. More...
What do you love most about your job?
Having a career that helps others. Having recently done a "strengths audit" on the Marcus Buckingham website it came as no surprise that my categorisation was as a "Teacher" and "Provider". That's pretty much why I went into coaching in the first place. How this manifests itself is in how I use my training and skillset to bring the "inner ninja" out of a client. That's the metaphor which I use to drive the brand behind my services. We all have an inner ninja inside us waiting to get out. The reason why I chose a ninja is because it represents the unconscious mind. Only when you work at an unconscious level does true behaviour change happen. Like a ninja, the unconscious works away in the background in a stealth-like manner. The skill lies in how to re-wire the unconscious and that is where coaching kicks in.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've always been an entrepreneur. I love change. I love the challenge of doing my own thing because it means I can help clients how I want to help them without the red tape of working for a large company. And that means I can listen to the client and what they want rather than following a process dictated by working for a large company.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm very much in touch with my values and I hope they speak volumes as to the person I am. So rather than trying to convince a potential client through clever marketing jargon, perhaps I could keep it simple. My top 5 are: Family, Honesty, Respect for Others, Having a Growth Mindset and Helping Others to Develop. I'd love to think that this may resonate with people who may be looking at my profile.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes. I can either coach over Zoom / Teams etc. but I also have an online Relationship Self-Coaching Product which can be found here: https://www.successthisway.com
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Remote coaching via online platforms was the only way I would deliver the product up until the UK came out of lockdown and it is still the preferred way of coaching for the moment. I also follow all Government Guidelines including being fully vaccinated in order to keep anyone as safe as possible with whom I have face-to-face contact.
Business Coaching
Business Coaching is not Business Consultancy. A Business Coach won't tell you how to do it. That's Consultancy. The Coaching Process instead is all about self-discovery and self-exploration in terms of what you want, what you do to get in your own way and how to go about getting what you want by putting in place a series of self-generated actions to get you there. It's a wonderful process to be involved in and one whereby the Coach squarely works with your specific outlook on life. In doing so, the Coach helps you stop doing the things that don't get you results and instead catalyses you into creating your own action-plan that gets you doing things that you have either avoided doing or perhaps didn't even think of doing beforehand. Coaching is all about you playing to your strengths. That's why it's not Consultancy. A Consultant tells you how to get success based on their interpretation of what you have to do. Coaching works by focusing on what is happening in your life (both business life and personal life because both are not mutually exclusive) and how to make meaningful and realistic changes to get results. Meaningful results.
Resilience Coaching
Resilience comes in many forms. The good news is that you're not really born with it. Resilience is like baking the perfect cake. There are may ingredients that have to go into it. It can be thanks to great relationships with those around you, giving you the permission to have a voice and to be entrepreneurial. It can be fuelled by being healthy. It can be aided by having clear goals and taking action to achieve them. Resilience is more about an emotional state. And at times we all fall under the red line, below which we feel like we are succumbing to the pressures of life itself. Resilience Coaching simply "tunes back in" to your past successes as a reminder of what has made you resilient in the past. It then turns that into a forward-looking action-based plan that gets you "re-surfacing" your old skills and strengths.
Relationship Coaching and Team Building
You could argue that at the heart of all success.....is other people. Or more so, the relationships you have with other people. Success is never created all thanks to you. Whilst you will be the driving force in all your successes in life, you will have inevitably have had to rely on others in order for you to achieve that success. For example: a successful marriage is all about the other person. Being a good parent is all about creating a nurturing environment in which your child can bloom. A great business success is usually thanks to great internal relationships with your team as well as fantastic client relationships. The problem is that in modern life, relationships are under threat. Relationship Coaching has you looking at your own interactions with those around you and what changes you can make in order to collaborate far more effectively with others...in pursuit of you ultimately getting what you want. Which is usually some form of success or achievement.
