So before I met Nicki, I felt like I was stuck. I had an ok job, no savings, and didn’t really take time to take care of myself. We had met once a week and she worked with me on what I wanted to work on one step at a time. She asked me questions that I was afraid to ask myself because I know the answer involved some type of change that I thought I wasn’t ready for. She caught me making excuses and called out my BS and I really appreciated her for doing that cause it wasn’t doing me any good. Now I have almost $4k in savings, I got a promotion at my new job, I got pre approved for a home loan, and I have an actual routine to take better care of myself. I would recommend Nicki to anyone wanting someone who is down to earth but also realistic in helping you improve your life. Thank you Nicki 🥰 More...

Until a few months ago I had never worked with a life coach and now I wish I had Nicki in my life indefinitely. My partner and I had various goals of running a marathon, moving to another country, and planning for a baby - all within 3 months.
We had so many scrambled ideas of what our preparations needed to look like, but no solid plan to get us there. First, we actually tried talking to a therapist, but didn’t feel that it was action-oriented enough. Thankfully, we quickly found Nicki through her stellar reviews and online presence. From our first conversation, she provided structure and clear expectations. We knew right away that she was the right coach for us.
Throughout our months together, Nicki helped us create a step by step plan. Each week, she helped us budget, stay on task, and work through some of the tough emotions of saying goodbye to our lives in the U.S. We really appreciated that she asked very clear questions to keep us focused with a no-bullshit approach and we started every session with wins, which shifted our mindset to be a lot more motivational. After each session, both of us felt empowered with clear goals for the week ahead and equipped with the tools to accomplish them. We are now living in Germany, marathon completed, with enough money saved up to travel through the rest of the year. Whatever your goals are, Nicki can help you get there! She’s the best supporter and I will honestly come back next time I’m going to do something big with my life. It’s worth it!

Working with Nicki has allowed me to improve my time management, planning, and productivity in many aspects of my life. Nicki helped me to attack my weaknesses by introducing personal accountability into my goal seeking process.
Many of the areas that I’ve struggled with (poor sleep, balancing work and school) have become strengths that have significantly improved my quality of life.
I would strongly recommend Nicki to anyone who is looking to overcome bad habits in their life.

Loved working with Nicki. I was depressed with where I was at in my life and work. Nicki helped coach me through bad habits and mindset that was keeping me stuck. I feel more in control now. Loved Nicki's upbeat attitude and always felt better after our sessions. More...

Nicki is amazing, she has taught me how to have a better mindset on a lot of different things. Now I have so much more confidence in not only myself but the way I handle situations now. I definitely recommend her. Thank you Nicki! More...

When I found Nicki I was feeling incredibly stuck in a place where I felt like I had no room or direction to pivot. I was in the midst of a very tumultuous time in my life and was trying to find a way to climb out of what I believe to be was my ‘rock bottom’. I met Nicki and right after our first meeting I had a glimmer of hope that this was someone who I felt was going to help be my metaphorical belayer to ascend the mountain helping to set me on a better life path. In addition to all of the guidance I received from Nicki possibly most important was that she actively listened to me. She wasn’t focused on solely giving advice which in turn helped me better be able to help myself. I am so thankful and grateful to have made the connection with Nicki. She is someone I will be continuing to collaborate with in the future to navigate the mountainous terrain of my life! More...

My businesses were getting hectic and I new I needed help with life balance. Nikki helped me to plug myself in to be the best me. If you need help, she definitely has the tools to help you discover the new you. She even gently help me in this process why dealing with the death of my mother. We still reached the goal. Can't recommend her enough. More...

Before working with Nicki I refused to address my struggles head-on and constantly put them on a back burner. Then, I started talking with Nicki honestly and openly and she began to ask me all the right questions. I really started to look into my life at face value and having her unbiased opinion was necessary in achieving the goals I set for myself. She helped me lay out an action plan and at the same time made me realize I still have to give myself grace. I realized that it wasn’t about where I was going, it was if I was truly happy where I was. Nicki helped me realize my worth and that success comes in many different forms. She pushed me in all the right ways to be accountable for my own life and if I want to achieve the dreams I set out for myself, I need to be held accountable. I'm grateful for the time I had with Nicki and I will hold onto a number of things she taught me during our sessions for the rest of my life. More...

Before I began coaching with Nicki I had no clue where I was going in life or how to get there. I had little to no life experience and felt like I was falling behind everyone else or that I was missing out on what my life could be like. I had a really bad problem with procrastination and not keeping myself accountable with my goals and what I really wanted to do, rarely making the time for myself to accomplish anything I needed to accomplish, even if it was important. Nicki’s program gave me the time and guidance to put everything back together and catch up on what I was missing out on - real, genuine life. I finally was putting myself first and she taught me how to prioritize and reformat the way I did things. My time with her was definitely eye opening as to how unorganized and chaotic my life was and it helped me accomplish some big goals - getting my temporary driving permit and lining up new job opportunities as well as help me get things situated with college. If I were to have someone else in the same situation I was, I would highly recommend Nicki’s services - as they deserve to put themselves first just as I have. I gained the ability to hold myself accountable by instilling routines and deadlines, as well as thinking outside of the box from a new perspective when thinking of my own life. More...

I would like to thank Nicki Herbert for her help on issues in my life that seemed impossible to figure out. She helped me look at things from a different direction and break them down into smaller pieces that did not seem to be so overwhelming. My life was stressed and now after the process I have the tools to break down problems in a different way and to look at things from different angle in everyday life. I interviewed several people and Nicki was so easy to talk to and worked with me on my level so that is the reason I decided to let her take on the challenge. LOL If in the future I have any issues I will be requesting Nicki Herbert again. More...

I worked with Nicki for two months and am considering working more with her. I had just failed my credentialing exam to be a registered dietitian and I wanted to work on scheduling.
That was my goal plain and simple was to schedule. I am notoriously bad at following through at building consistency. With Nicki’s guidance I began to schedule nearly every day. This may not seem that groundbreaking but it was for me. I just passed the exam the other day.
I scheduled breaks, I scheduled free time, as well as all the nitty gritty. I began to recognize patterns that when I scheduled I might not have a great day but I wouldn’t have a bad one either. For me I needed to have the reward be inherent and I found that. Nicki helped me recognize these things. I asked her to change her style so that she could write down more of what I blathered on about and she did. She accommodated me so that I could focus on my goals. Her content and references in her HABITS modules are pretty impressive. I found two very important, perspective shifting videos in her references.
Nicki was always ready to be open, open to your possibilities. She would occasionally offer some specific advice on how to approach something but my favorite part was when she would ask what else do you want to talk about? This question signified for me the freedom to reach deeper in myself. I could dream about what might be and then put steps in place to bring that closer to reality.

I began my sessions with Nicki with the goal of making a career change. I was feeling stuck, uninspired, unmotivated and lost—the dead end job, the bottle of wine a night, the constant fatigue, all wrapped up in 1,000 cups of coffee and not enough yoga classes. Along the way, I learned to reassess habits that were keeping me from getting to where I want to be in life. What I thought would be a straight-shot to a better career actually turned into a full lifestyle change. While I still have much work to do (always!), I feel better equipped to handle whatever life throws at me and have a more solid foundation to build on, which is truly invaluable. Nicki held me accountable when I couldn’t do that for myself. My days are now FAR more productive, my mental health is on track, and my goals feel realistic and conquerable. 10/10 recommend, if you’re on the fence, just do it! More...

Before I started meeting with Nicki I was a stay at home mom to triplets that always felt overstimulated,overwhelmed,and had totally lost myself.
I was trying to strive to be the perfect mom and started creating very bad habits where I would over exert myself by binge cleaning the house or just over doing myself and then the next day I would not want to get out of bed. I felt like I wasn’t enjoying life and I was spending too much time comparing myself to other moms and their lives.
Changing my habits that were built to help me overcome them were knowing that it is OK to not be OK! I am a great mom! The house does not have to be perfect for you to be a good mom! I have developed a much deeper relationship with my husband and my kids because I am just a happier person! I have learned to set boundaries with people that are negative and no longer let it affect me! I have been able to thrive in my small business because I just feel like a different person! It feels great to have good habits in my life! I feel much more organized on the daily and productive overall! If I could tell someone that has a bad habit they would like to break I would say that it is OK to ask for help! It has helped me so much!
A huge benefit from working with Nicki is that I have found myself! I finally feel like I am not just a mom or a wife but I am me again! That was my biggest goal was to find myself!
Thank you so much Nicki! You have changed my life!

I was 25 when I started working with Nicki - I had been a smoker for 10 years and I knew it was making my anxieties through my 20’s so much worse while holding me back from hitting my true potential. Through Nicki’s Breaking Bad Habits program not only did I quit smoking, but I have gained so much knowledge on skills and techniques related to all things “adulting.” I have gained so much from Nicki and working with her for the past 8 months has changed my life forever. If you’re in your 20’s and having a hard time getting your feet on the ground, Nicki is the person for you! More...

Nicki helped with many different aspects in my life and when we first started I felt like I was struggling to keep up with the day-to-day, make time for myself and my health, and find that good work/life balance everyone dreams of. After 6 months, I can say she helped me break many bad habits while also introducing some good habits that greatly helped my physical & mental health, diet, and weekly organization. What helped me the most was Nicki’s understanding and ability to help me figure out what I needed to do to reach my goals or even just have better days. I can proudly say I am back to working out regularly. She helped me set boundaries with work so I can enjoy more time with my son, family, and friends. I have a more consistent work routine and even plan personal days. She helped me develop a stronger diet and taught me many tricks and tips to help me stay on track and/or easily bounce back when I do have those “off days” or “cheat weekends.” Nicki helped me stay accountable and true to myself, and having her as a life coach was one of the best decisions I made after realizing I needed and wanted to make some changes in my life. Nicki, you absolutely rock! More...

My life before Nicki and her sessions would be described best as “lost in the woods.” I had barriers under many pressures and anxieties that kept me from seeing what was up or down.
I felt disoriented and of where to go next, there for paralyzed. I knew I needed help. During this journey, I discovered I was the reason “the dust isn’t clearing.” Having fresh eyes helped me see what I was doing and allowed me to see the unhealthy decisions I was making. It was hard to let someone else see those issues, but letting someone into my world allowed me to see healthier ways to create positive habits and actual positive outcomes.
The happiest part about working with Nicki was the sheer fact of how she truly wants the best for you. She makes it very transparent from the beginning that she is on your side. I felt no judgment when I faltered. There was praise when I succeeded and a strong embrace of much-needed accountability. Nicki provides fantastic tools and other ways of thinking about what was hindering me in my day-to-day life. Weekly goals worked best for me, and a simple, realistic routine was crucial. Nicki provided me with this, and my life started to move forward again. Fixing the small things around me led to significant changes and a brighter mindset. Nicki does not fight your problems for you but instead gives you ways of how to fight for yourself.
If you feel lost and need someone that gets to the bottom of what is holding you back- Nicki is the person for you. I would recommend her to anyone who finally wants to fight for a better positive outlook on this thing we call life.

I have always wanted to breakaway from the normal full-time job working for “the man”. I truly dug deep this past winter and thought about how I could make it happen.
Something that wouldn’t feel like a job but something I truly enjoyed. I stumbled across getting a life coach. From my first call with Nicki I knew she could help me achieve my goal of being self employed. She set my dreams on a path to being no longer a dream but reality. When self doubt would start creeping in she kept my eye on the prize. She listened to my concerns and reminded me of how far I had come and how my dream was being manifested. I have thought about doing this for years but I could never pull the trigger out of fear. Nicki walked with me though those fears while helping me take the steps to get my business up and running. She was one of my biggest cheerleaders on this journey to leaving my Full-time job to pursue my dream. Nicki helped me narrow down what I needed to do each step of the way. Followed up on my progress and asked the hard questions I hadn’t even though of. I achieved my goal of leaving my job and the best part I left it even earlier than my initial goal date. I attribute my success to Nicki as she truly is gifted at what she does. How many of us can say we help people make there dreams come true? Nicki can say that! My dream was freedom. Freedom of making money for someone else, freedom to spend my time how I chose and financial freedom. Now I control my income and the possibilities are endless ❤️

My life before Nicki at Unleashed Leadership was all over the place! There was never any organization in any aspect which caused constant chaos.
One of the most impressive things that made Nicki stand out to me was her ability to help me in all aspects of my life. For example, she was not only able to help organize my life but also help me better understand my thoughts and feelings and then give me the tools to help make changes as needed.
One of the biggest obstacles that stopped me from seeking help before was not completely understanding what a life coach can do.. Which is also what made me the happiest when working with Nicki. I felt I could work on anything that seemed to be an obstacle for me that week. From budgeting all the way down to negative thoughts. I felt comfortable talking to Nicki about those issues and her being able to give me the tools to better myself after our sessions.
As a result of all of our sessions, one of the biggest benefits to me was the ability to better understand my thoughts and feelings. It truly made a difference to me once I was able to break down those things and understand the “why”. Once I could understand this, I was then able to fix other things in my life such as scheduling and organization issues that were causing more stress. Being taught that breakdown from Nicki was truly amazing and a great eye opener.
I would recommend Nicki’s services to anyone willing to listen! Not only do you feel motivated after each session, you also feel relieved that you are able to be so comfortable talking to someone, especially when you know they can give you the tools to help overcome each struggle you may be facing. I would tell anyone who might be thinking about hiring Nicki that this would be one of the best decisions they could make for themselves and would not have a moment of regret.

I’ve never explored life coaching before working with Nicki. Before our sessions, I felt like I was at a standstill. It felt like I was waiting around for something new to get me motivated, but at the start of our sessions, and talking out my feelings about what I wanted to achieve started my forward progression. There were a couple of benefits I had that stood out to me. The most significant benefit was talking to Nicki about things I wanted to improve in my life. Communication has never been my strong suit, but I soon realized how good it would feel to talk to Nicki and have someone give me feedback and support about what might help me or suggestions to deal with different situations. The second most significant benefit I had was my overall health since our sessions. Nicki really steered me toward positivity in my life with encouragement to get outside and get more exercise. Since I’ve started improving my mental and physical health, I’ve lost weight, become more focused, and made better choices in my personal & professional life. I really enjoyed the positivity that Nicki provided in helping me. More...

Working with Nicki has helped me grow tremendously in both my personal and professional life. She is a wonderful resource to help put structures in place to optimize your time, as well as grow in a leadership role. Since working with Nicki, I am much more efficient in my work and am able to use my time for bigger projects in the business. I am more confident in my abilities as a leader due to her guidance, and am able to put practices in place to help me in all aspects of my life. I am truly grateful for her support. More...

Going into the sessions, I was extremely apprehensive with bringing up my professional issues/concerns with anyone. After the first session with Nicki, I was sold. She was very personable and understanding of the situation I was in. She listened to me when others would not. I was having a lot of issues with separating work from my personal life and would bring a lot of thoughts home that would keep me pre-occupied instead of being able to commit all my time and efforts to my family. It took only one session to help me figure out how to actually accomplish that and my personal life has flourished. Another area that we were able to dive in to and she was able to keep me accountable with is my occupation search. Currently, I am in a field where I have been serving for over 6 years and feel like I should make a change. I was nervous to have the conversation but she enabled me to open up and walked me through my own thought process where I could actually figure out that a change was needed professionally. This has been extremely helpful as the change will help my family in the long run as well as help me to be more fulfilled professionally. I cannot thank her enough for the help and advice that she provided. She keeps in touch with me to this day to see how I'm doing and it is greatly appreciated! I would greatly suggest her to anyone that needs help figuring out any issues or dilemmas that might be keeping you from reaching your full potential. She is amazing and I cannot understate how much of an impact that she has made on my life! More...

I would 100% recommend Nicki as a life coach. She has been such a blessing in my life the last six weeks. I have been struggling with unhappiness related to my job and my weight for the last two years. I felt like I had tried everything, but still lacked a certain degree of accountability and direction. I was lost and struggling to find my way. Then Nicki came along. She gave me just what I needed to get myself back together again. I looked forward to my weekly calls with Nicki so that I could share the challenges and successes of the previous week. Nicki gave me ideas, asked me questions that made me rethink my whole outlook, and she was generally a fantastic sounding board. It was difficult at times to hear myself say things out loud, but I didnt realize how necessary that was for my healing process. Nicki has been able to provide me with the outlook and accountability I was lacking. Not only has that been helpful with my weight loss, but with other aspects of my life as well. Because of our talks, I was finally brave enough to leave a job that made me miserable and start a new adventure that will be so much better for me and my family. After my sessions with Nicki, I feel so much more determined to live my life to the fullest. I have a solid idea of what I need to do, how I will get there, and what to do along the way when obstacles come up. For anyone considering working with Nicki, I would say take the plunge! I absolutely recommend it. Sometimes, we may know that something is missing in our lives, and it just takes the right person to help us discover what that is. That person is Nicki! Working with her will make such a difference in your life! More...

I was skeptical about working with someone else to address my own issues. I considered myself well aware of what I needed to work on and thought I would be the only one who could get me there, but after covid, cancer in my family, divorce and a difficult teenage son all in one year, I decided it was worth giving it a shot if it could help me get to "okay" quicker. The first coaching session I had with Nicki felt both natural and productive. In the end, I was the one to do "the work" because I was the one who got the reward, but having Nicki checking in was like having someone to continually point you in the right direction, or keep you on track, or give you a shortcut- or re-direct your focus. Yes, you have all the tools- it's just sometimes nice to have someone show us how to use them effectively. After a few weeks session, I have gotten a handle on my covid late night/ anytime drinking; I have started volunteering in a profession I love; I have put in boundaries with both my teenage son and my job and I am happier healthier and more at ease than I was six weeks ago. For all the money we waste at Starbucks, on designer clothes or technology or things that end up at the Goodwill one year later, the money spent on living a life well is..well, money well spent. Thank you .Nicki Conradt-Eberlin for being my guide these past few weeks and for seeing how to get there quicker than I ever could on my own. More...
What do you love most about your job?
Oh there are too many things that I love about it. It's my true passion! Instead of listing everything, I'll just give you a couple.. ?
#1 – Observing my client's emotional well-being improve. They shift from overwhelm, burnout, stressed out to focused, calm, and optimistic.
#2 – Watching those light bulb moments, when the actions and work that they do starts showing the results that they want.
#3 – The work that I do impacts my clients' lives FOREVER.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was inspired to start my own coaching business for two reasons.
The first reason is that I had been self-coaching for years and truly saw the value of it and how it improved my personal and professional life. I wanted to spread the value and impact of coaching to others that needed it. The second reason is that there is a need for coaching because many individuals don't get taught the more essential things in life like budgeting, managing your emotions, improving your productivity, learning how to communicate effectively, etc. In my previous career as a Training Manager, my focus was on employee development. All the skills that particular employees needed to focus on came from their personal lives. I would coach them on these aspects of their personal lives to improve their career.
Why should our clients choose you?
I love what I do. Hearing hopefulness, excitement, and passion coming from clients is one of the greatest gifts that makes me feel alive.
Some things that my clients have said is
- Incredibly down to earth
- Supportive & encouraging (like your own personal cheerleader)
- Force them to think outside of their perception of reality.
- Very action-oriented
- I am honest in a comforting way that provides clients the opportunity to look at themselves in the mirror while not being ashamed of who they are.
We are all different, we are all human, and that's ok. The flaws and reasons my clients seek coaching make them who they are, and that's so admirable.
P.S. Don't forget to check out my reviews to see what other clients have said! ?
