MEET NIC

MEET NICHOLA

I'm an enthusiastic and energetic Engagement and Behaviour Change Consultant and Team Culture Facilitator with over 18 years of experience implementing tailored workshops, programs and initiatives for young people, teams, schools, organisations and communities.

 

With a BA in Psychology & Education, alongside my background in national level hockey, I have developed a strong foundation in various engagement strategies, behaviour change philosophies, and student empowerment initiatives. I excel at addressing individual barriers and needs and take pride in creating and delivering innovative solutions that drive meaningful change.

 

My extensive leadership skills have been honed through roles as a captain in elite hockey teams, as well as leading government-level focus groups. I have experience in public speaking, presenting at conferences, and facilitating workshops, all of which contribute to my ability to inspire and motivate young people towards achieving their goals.

​

Outside of work, I love to run, ride, dance, play hockey and get out into the outdoors with my two children and husband.
