Nicole Schmitz Leadership Coaching -

Hmm B

I had the pleasure of connecting with Nicole through LinkedIn over a year ago, during a challenging period in my leadership journey. At the time, I was confident in my abilities and performance, but I struggled to fully grasp the expectations and language of senior leadership within my company. I sensed there was a missing piece in my professional puzzle and felt an urgent need to address it.

That's when I signed up for Nicole's coaching program, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made. Nicole has an exceptional talent for organizing thoughts and creating a clear, actionable path forward. Her agile coaching style, combined with her deep expertise in psychology, allowed her to quickly understand my needs and tailor her guidance accordingly.

Nicole's techniques were practical and insightful, giving me the tools I needed to bridge the gap between where I was and where I aspired to be. Her ability to break down complex concepts into manageable steps made the process feel less daunting and more achievable.

Through her coaching, I gained a better understanding of senior leadership dynamics and developed the confidence to navigate them effectively. Nicole's guidance not only helped me improve my leadership skills but also transformed my approach to my career. I am now better equipped to handle the demands of senior leadership and feel more aligned with my professional goals.

I highly recommend Nicole to anyone seeking to elevate their career and leadership capabilities. Her expertise, empathy, and personalized approach make her an outstanding career coach. Thank you, Nicole, for your invaluable support and guidance!

Initially, I wasn't completely convinced about working with a leadership coach. Nicole’s professionalism and expertise seemed intimidating, and I questioned whether her approach would suit me. However, those hesitations didn't last long once I started on this incredible 12-month journey with her.

Before Nicole's coaching, I struggled with small talk, networking, and understanding my past and its impact on my present and relationships. I was apprehensive about showing vulnerability, with a fear of rejection, and lacked emotional maturity in leadership. However, through Nicole's coaching, I have changed. I now embrace networking, actively seek new connections, and have gained clarity on my past, which has helped me address and overcome my deeply ingrained fears and anxieties, stemming from my childhood.

Nicole's expertise in psychology, particularly in areas like attachment style and ego states, has been a phenomenal help for me. She guided me through a rough time at work, offering support through challenging moments. As a result, I've gained improved emotional control and regulation, much better communication skills, and a deeper understanding of leadership.

Nicole encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and be more authentic at work, ultimately making me a better person overall. Thanks to Nicole, I've received praise for my communication skills, leadership abilities, and have strengthened my relationships, including with my wife. I've learned to be more assertive and vulnerable, which has significantly improved my confidence and self-esteem. I've always appreciated her tailored approach, free from generic leadership jargon.

Nicole's honesty, respect, and patience, coupled with her expertise, have been invaluable to me. She's helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses, empowered me to step out of my comfort zone, and given me tools to assert myself and regulate my emotions, which proved especially helpful in coping with difficult interpersonal challenges at work and at home. I can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone seeking personal and professional growth.

Thanks, Nicole, it was a real pleasure working with you!

I am writing to definitely recommend Nicole's program, which I recently completed over the past year. Her comprehensive program has had a positive impact on my leadership skills and overall effectiveness as a leader.
The program allowed for in-depth exploration of key leadership concepts. We delved into so many topics like communication, motivation and strategic thinking. What truly set this program apart was the focus on personal development, participating assessments and exploring my individual leadership style. This introspection helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses and provided me with a clear roadmap for further growth.
Since completing the program, I have already begun to see the impact on my leadership. I am more confident in my decision-making and better equipped to navigate complex challenges.

I highly recommend Nicole's program to anyone seeking to develop their leadership skills and become a more effective leader. This is definitely invaluable investment in your leadership journey.

Thanks a ton Nicole.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional leadership training course facilitated by Nicole. Completing this program has been a transformative experience, and I am pleased to share my feedback.

Nicole's approach to crafting training materials was exemplary. The materials were not only comprehensive but also incredibly personalized, meticulously tailored to fit my individual profile. This level of customization made the content highly relevant and impactful, ensuring that I could directly apply the lessons to my own leadership journey.

One of the standout aspects of the training was the interactive sessions. Nicole created an environment where active participation was not only encouraged but also integral to the learning process. This dynamic engagement fostered deeper understanding and facilitated meaningful discussions among participants.

Moreover, the course provided invaluable insights into self-awareness. Through Nicole's guidance, I gained a better understanding of my own potential and areas for improvement, all while retaining my unique strengths and identity. Specifically, I appreciated the exploration of topics such as the fear of success and the influence of Eurocentric phenomena on mindset, which provided valuable perspectives on personal growth. This awareness likely broadened my perspective and empowered me to overcome any limiting beliefs.

The discussions surrounding imposter syndrome were particularly enlightening, offering practical strategies for overcoming this common barrier to success. Nicole's expertise in this area was evident, and I feel equipped with the tools necessary to navigate such challenges with confidence and resilience.

Finally, the training culminated in a thorough exploration of the key ingredients of charismatic leadership. Learning from Nicole's insights and expertise in this domain has undoubtedly enriched my understanding of effective leadership practices.

Overall, I cannot speak highly enough of Nicole's leadership training course. It has been a privilege to learn from her, and I am incredibly grateful for the knowledge, skills, and perspectives gained through this experience. I look forward to applying these learning in my professional journey and beyond. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to refine their leadership skills and gain a stronger sense of self.

Two years back, I embarked on a personal journey where I uncovered a need to improve my leadership communication skills to reach the next level in my career. So I researched and found Nicole.

I've now been working with her for the past 2 years across 2 different programs and I can say I feel extremely happy and blessed with the fact that I came across Nicole when I did, as she helped me to achieve so much in my career and life.

From day one, Nicole brought immense value to our relationship. Not only did she provide me with numerous leadership tools and strategies to apply in my daily practice, but understanding myself on a deeper level; my strengths, weaknesses, and core values have ultimately led me to find a career and role that I'm truly passionate about, and that I find extremely self-rewarding.

So for anyone who is looking to get leadership coaching to excel on both a career and personal level, I highly recommend Nicole.

I first approached Nicole as I was looking for guidance and motivation on how to move up to the next level in my career. I shared my concerns with Nicole and she was able to tailor a specific plan on how I could improve essential leadership soft skills such as being a confident speaker, communicating my value, speaking up in meetings, assertiveness and feedback.

After coaching with Nicole, I’ve seen a massive improvement in my leadership presence and in a short time I have in fact progressed in my career.

Through her 1:1 sessions I realised that I always had the knowledge, but there were mindset barriers; the confidence in my abilities and learning to trust my gut that were missing.

The Speak Mastery Practicals were then a great opportunity to put my new skills into practice. I wasn't actually expecting to speak that well in front of strangers, but proving myself in these situations provided me with great self satisfaction and drastically improved my confidence.

Nicole has great care and attention to detail, even down to her hand picked articles for you to read after each session. I don’t know how she does it, but they always really resonated with me and provided me with great value.

I can’t thank Nicole enough for the improvements I’ve seen in myself and I have decided to continue our partnership to further enhance my leadership development.

I 100% recommended Nicole for anyone looking for guidance and support on their leadership journey.

Having undertaken a number of leadership courses and postgraduate study, I found it was good to have the theory, but it didn't necessarily help me to practically resolve the challenges that I had identified in my own leadership.

What was great about Nicole was she was able to tailor a practical, structured, and personalised program with three core areas of focus for my leadership development.

Nicole was genuinely interested to understand more about the unique experiences that have shaped my leadership style over my lifetime, and delve deeper to understand the reasoning behind these influences. She also has this unique ability to challenge my thinking and open my mind to new perspectives - within a safe, guiding space. Through this process, I learned a lot more about myself than I would have ever discovered on my own.

After completing her coaching program, I feel I'm in a much better position, and much more confident in the leadership role I've undertaken.

I certainly recommend Nicole's services. If you do get the opportunity to meet with and work with Nicole, it will definitely help your own career development and help you to find your unique Leadership X-Factor that will make your leadership thrive.
