Nicky’s latest Keynote, How to Sustain Your Human:
In this keynote Nicky will discuss the current stress epidemic and how, despite the reset of the pandemic we are still stuck in a constant cycle of striving and surviving. Organisations are struggling to hire and retain people and mental health is affecting productivity and team cohesion more than ever. We have an opportunity to create a better experience for us as humans, at work and at play and in turn create a better planet, but how do we create lasting change that benefits us all?
Learn how to:
- Take stock and identify your purpose
- Sustain your energy and have more time
- Create change the easy way and avoid burnout
- Build a culture and leadership that the right people want to work in – and stay in!
Attendees will walk away with a plan to create their own version of a perfect life, practical techniques for stress busting and a way to enrich their relationships.

Listening to what Nicky discussed, I had a deeper understanding of creating a better space or environment for all of us to have peace with ourselves. I loved her enthusiasm. All of the passion I see in her is what enticed me, and that is something that tells us to break the barrier that holds us back from living the great life we all deserve.”

A life changing stroke
On the 26th July, 2010 Nicky suffered a stroke as a result of a scuba diving accident. She lost the use of most of the left side of her body, her speech and memory were affected and she was unable to drive her manual car to the three month old business she had created. She had four growing up teenagers at home and Nicky wondered how she was going to carry on.
Nicky’s background is holistic therapy and stress management and with A levels in Anatomy & Physiology she had all the tools she needed for recovery, so she set out on an epic bounce back journey with no idea if she would succeed.
Three years later Nicky was fit, 100% recovered, able to dive again and ready to sell the business that she thought she would have to wind up in 2010.
