"I had the pleasure of working in Nicola’s team on a range of different projects and service outcomes. Nicola is an inspirational leader and motivator who is deeply passionate about her work. Her dedication to her role and her team is truly commendable. Nicola's ability to lead with vision and empathy not only pushed our projects to realisation but also fostered a positive and collaborative work environment."

"Returning to the workplace after raising a family was daunting, however with encouragement and guidance from Nicola, my direct line manager, I was able to showcase my creativity and skills to secure a challenging business development role. With Nicola's dedication and direction, taking me outside of my comfort zone, she provided me with the support to develop the confidence I needed to progress in my new position. She is a true inspiration to me and proof that with the right mentor anything is possible."

" I joined Nicola's team, having worked in a partnership capacity for a number of years. I was struck by the positive way in which she interacted with her colleagues, and I was keen to work with her. Being part of her team helped me to improve my leadership skills, and develop my own style of leadership. I now feel that I better understand how to engage with my team members, and how to get the best out of the team while maintaining a positive work environment."
