When I was first introduced to Nicci I desperately needed to sort out my finances as I was facing bankruptcy. I had significant debts, mostly spread across half a dozen high interest rate credit cards. It was not only incredibly expensive but it was starting to make me feel very uncomfortable. My business was suffering, as I was unable to focus on meeting the needs of customers or finding new markets. I had been putting off dealing with the situation for months, thinking that it was one big ogre of a problem that was too big to deal with, even though I knew that this was only going to make things worse.
Although I understood the principals and benefits of coaching I hadn’t managed to get to the root of the problem on my own. Actually working through the process with an extremely professional, thorough and talented coach made all the difference. After a few sessions Nicci helped me to facilitate my own financial metamorphosis, enabling me to take control of my finances again, saving hundreds of pounds in interest payments. She helped me to break the problem down into small manageable chunks, setting a series of journey goals. She then monitored my commitment and progress closely helping me to maintain my focus and motivation until success was achieved.
Once my finances were no longer a concern we turned our attention to developing the business in directions I hadn't previously considered. Sometimes when you are running your own business you're too close to the situation and it takes an outsider like Nicci to really understand the problems being faced and to develop creative solutions.

My business was beginning to suffer when I lost two of my major clients due to company mergers. Nicci helped me to identify new services and markets. However, I was not convinced that I had the experience or confidence to take my business in this new direction. Rather than ignoring my concerns Nicci helped me to take a step back from the situation. We then worked on improving my elf-confidence and some of my core business skills, before implementing a scaled down version of the original plan. Testing the water in this way has been a great success and I now have the confidence to implement the whole plan. |

After my wife died my business quickly became a real mess. Mrs G had previously done all of the clerical work, typing a monthly catalogue, maintaining our mailing lists, raising invoices and paying bills etc. All of these documents were done on a typewriter. I can only manage about 5 words per minute with another 5 minutes to correct the mistakes! When Nicci first became involved in the business she quickly understood the problems I was facing. After discussing all of the options Nicci computerised 95% of the clerical work. I was a little sceptical at first, not knowing one end of a computer from another. However, Nicci was a excellent, patient trainer and even created me a tailored, step-by-step, "Dummies Guide" on how, when and why to do each task. Not only do I know exactly what I have to do each month, if I need help in the future, someone else will find it very easy too. |
