Nicola Hackett Coaching

Coaching is a personalised development process that helps individuals to develop specific skills, enhance performance and achieve their goals.

Coaching is delivered by a trained and experienced professional and is a process that allows clients to reflect and increase awareness of who they are, what’s important to them, assess their strengths, challenges and options open to them. Coaches work collaboratively with clients providing insights, feedback and strategies to address specific challenges and unlock potential.

Coaching is not:

• mentoring where a more experienced individual offers guidance/advice
• consulting where a consultant who is a professional advisor uses their experience to help resolve organisational issues or challenges.
• training where the trainer is directive in transferring knowledge, skills, techniques and tools to others.
• Counselling which is a talking therapy that involves a trained therapist listening to you and helping you find ways to deal with emotional issues.
• A therapist who helps people explore and process the events and influences of their past, and how those experiences may be shaping behaviour in the present. Therapists are licensed to treat mental illnesses using psychotherapeutic methods, and help their clients achieve and maintain baseline mental health.

I bring a unique blend of experience as a business leader and coach, mentor and sports coach spanning 30 years. This is backed up with professional qualifications in coaching, mentoring and leadership so my questioning, tools and techniques are based on robust evidence and research. Most importantly I’m values driven and coach from the heart, building strong relationships and trust.

Your first step is to book a no obligation introductory chat so you can ensure we’re well matched and I can help you achieve your goals. You will then select the right coaching package for you, complete the onboarding paperwork and set up the date for the first coaching session.

This is individual to you but it’s usually time limited with appointments 2 weeks apart or weekly for a shorter timeframe.  The most popular package is 6 sessions of 1 hour duration. This gives the opportunity to have dedicated time and space with a coach to focus in detail on specific challenges and be held accountable for making meaningful progress and to help keep you on track to reach your goals. However, in our no obligation introductory call we will discuss what might work best for you. In between sessions, you’ll be investing time on reflections and working on specific actions you’ve identified.

Coaching is an investment in your growth and development. There are no guarantees of specific outcomes, but I will support you to create a personalised plan. My clients highlight that they feel more confident in their leadership role and have overcome challenges that brought them to me.

Yes, coaching is strictly confidential, and I adhere to the European Mentoring and Coaching Council Code of ethics. Please also refer to my privacy policy.

Coaching fees vary depending on the package you choose. My pricing and payment options are fully transparent and discussed at the no obligation introductory call.

The majority of my coaching is held online via MS teams or Zoom. I’m based in the west coast of Scotland and I’m happy to discuss bespoke in person coaching/workshops via arrangement.
