Strategy Development, Planning and Execution
There is no strategy without purpose and to stand out from the crowd, organisations need to consider the reasons for WHY they exist before the reasons for WHAT they are trying to do.
“Nicky has been an amazing person to work with on the Laureus Sport for Good Cities initiative in London and has shown guile, passion and unmatched expertise when working with locally led organisations. She has built solid reputable relationships with the people that matter most and has been pivotal in taking these leaders on a journey of change whilst striving to embed local leadership and learning. Her approach has helped foster a sense of community for our place-based work and has empowered the coalitions to work towards becoming sustainable entities with clear strategic plans and growth plans.
Above all, Nicky has a great personality that balances high standards and results-driven approaches with authentic mentorship and coaching. She is patient, connected and empathetic and strives to ensure no one is left behind. All hallmarks of working in community development.”

Personal Coaching, Individual & Team Development and Mentoring
Coaching and mentoring have become key approaches, across many organisations in supporting both the personal and professional development of employees and teams. Investing time and resources into your people is what takes organisations from good to great.
“Nicky has brought creativity, strategic thinking and high level professional coaching and mentoring across a team of Development Coaches and the wider national School Games workforce. Through working collaboratively with colleagues and partners, Nicky has established vibrant and sustainable networks driving the development of school sport in local areas which has maximised relationships with relevant stakeholders to ensure connectivity. Nicky’s knowledge and experience across the sector is invaluable and her strong leadership skills inspire and challenge to achieve positive results.”

Programme & Project Evaluation, Programme Development and Sustainability Planning
Despite it not being a new problem, finding a way to make growth sustainable is one of the most challenging issues that all organisations face. What is seen to be working in one sector or organisation may not necessarily be the right fit for your sector, and the strategies you developed 5 years ago may very well be out of date.
“Nicky is a conscientious and responsive growth consultant who thoughtfully guided CFHE through developing our 3 - year strategic vision. Supporting us in incorporating all voices and developing a vision that represents who we are and where we are going, we have a roadmap that truly reflects us, our community, and our mission.”
