Meet the coaches

Nicola Cardy


Nicola spent twenty years working across commercial, public and not-for-profit sectors before becoming a coach. She held a number of senior leadership roles within the commercial sector working with global organisations such as the Hilton Group of Hotels. Latterly she was CEO of a not-for-profit organisation and during her tenure led them through a transformational change agenda, taking the organisation out of public ownership and forming a commercially focused and sustainable Community Interest Company (CIC). 

Nicola works at both an individual and company level to improve how people work and interact within their organisation.  Leveraging her coaching skills and her business experience she works with people at all stages of their careers, whether they are leaders or first-time managers. She often supports parental leave ‘returners’, people going through change or transition or those wanting to develop their professional capability. She is particularly passionate about finding ways to help her clients shift their mindset to help them effect permanent change and often works with people helping them managing stress and anxiety and women navigating menopause.

Nicola is an ICF Professional Certified Coach. She also holds a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA), a Post Graduate Certificate in Business and Personal Coaching and is accredited through the EMCC as a Global Team Coach.
