COACHING
Exploring possible paths in your life you didn’t know were there can be eye-opening. It can also be a lot of fun! What’s more, even when everything else feels uncertain, having a game plan to follow keeps you on the path to what you want. And that’s what I help you create – a plan you’re excited to follow.

ONLINE WORKSHOPS
Using my experience I’ve learned through games, team building, and transformational coaching, you'll get a Team Day session that entertains, connects, and energises your team.
Running a team build can get eyes rolling but the way we play reconnects people in a way that doesn't feel like work!

​
PLAY AND PURPOSE
How you do one thing is how you do everything and through games, we reveal a lot about how we approach life. We often don’t realise this and miss a golden chance to reflect on how we tackle issues beyond the boundaries of a game. In this one-off session, we play together to analyse how to use your approach in other parts of your life.

LISA DAVIDSON
'After just one session, I realised I actually enjoyed what I do for a living! Nicola gave me the confidence to approach work in a way that would benefit me as a person and fit in with my own values.'

KAREN GARNER
'Nicola's warm & very approachable style made it easy to openly discuss my thoughts & challenges with her. My sessions with Nicola were highly rewarding and they will be an invaluable start to the path that lies ahead. '
CHARLIE HINE
'Coaching has helped my confidence overall; helped me identify and review how I act and begin to think about what I want to do in the future - something that I almost felt completely unable to do because it scared me.'
LISA DAVIDSON
'After just one session, I realised I actually enjoyed what I do for a living! Nicola gave me the confidence to approach recruitment in a totally different way that would benefit me as a person and fits in with my own values.'
Gary, Hull
I would absolutely recommend this to anyone! It has been a positivity and self-realisation ride. I have learnt much about myself and the techniques presented have helped me to feel more confident and optimistic in day to day life.
Not Your Run-of-the-Mill Team Building Workshop
These online workshops aren’t like others you may have seen or been a part of before. Along with my co-host(s), we take your team through a lively, interactive (and most important, fun!) session that has benefits for everybody.
​
Here’s how an online workshop typically runs…
PLAY
First, we make sure you’re all on board with some energetic moves to kickstart the session. We also encourage you to think about what you’re hoping to gain from the next hour of fun.
Next, everyone gets the chance to express themselves through creative games - don’t worry, there’s no need to be clever, funny, or original (if there was, we wouldn’t play!)
Being at home alone can feel isolating. That’s why we’ve got just the thing to bring you all back together for one final team game to leave you on a high, energised and ready for the day.

Like what you see but prefer to speak with me?

Whatever it is, book in a time with me to ask questions and see if this is right for you. We will use this time to discuss your aims as well as to learn more about each other. From here we can agree what you would like to plan going forwards.
INDIVIDUALITY
Volunteering, dancing or camping in the wild - how do you express yourself?
FREEDOM
Give yourself permission and see what happens! Keep an open mind and feel free to do as much (or as little) as you want.
Join the Discord channel (which also supports the group coaching course) where we support each other, ask questions and feel part of a community. Here you can find out more about what Game Plan is all about.
Group coaching means we can learn together and support each other through change. Over five weeks we have a mixture of learning about useful coaching concepts (framed around gaming terminology to make it more accessible and enjoyable) and support each other in creating our (life) game plans
Monthly, I run a free online Mindful Games session where I teach people some playful tricks to get them out their head and feeling more productive, positive and connected. Join to have some fun as well as to learn what working with me is like.
Every Tuesday at 7:30pm GMT, I join @photoSonny to stream some online board games. We also talk about the benefits of gaming to your mental health, how Game Plan can support you and discuss challenges that we face as well as speaking with chat about their challenges.
FUN
Play opportunities are everywhere! Test the boundaries, be silly, let go every now and then… and above all, express yourself!
APPRECIATION
A good cup of tea, naps and talking to friends. Take the time to value what you have, what you do, and who you are. In essence, be kind to yourself.
PASSION
Equality, play and adventure - what can't you stop talking about? Whatever you’re doing, do it passionately and do it for you.
Starting a business, making new friends, travelling? Keep growing and challenge yourself in every way, and with each and every value.
CHALLENGE
Nicola was extremely easy to talk to and pleasant. She had numerous tools and thinking strategies at her disposal to provide for any situation if required.
Jon
Really good to talk things through, Nicola helped me look at my issue from a different perspective, and turn things around a little into a much more positive and forgiving outlook.
Mel
Nicola was really understanding - she picked up on a lot of nuance and helped me to realise what it was that was holding me back and where I really wanted my priorities to lie.
Ben
Do you ever want your life to be somewhere else, but aren't sure where or how to get there?
In our one-to-one coaching sessions, we'll talk through what success and happiness look like to you, and work out your steps to get there. I call it your Game Plan.​
My clients gain life-changing confidence, stop feeling stuck, take control of their careers and, most importantly, identify who they are to give them that direction.
My name is Nicola, a certified life-coach who loves nothing more than empowering people to achieve their goals. I can't wait to help you with yours.
We'd love to hear from you
