As Co-Founders there's important work to do to ensure your PARTNERSHIP attracts and nurtures the right talent. And just because you're a Founder, doesn't mean you're a leader.

MY BIO
MY BIO
Nicki is a coach for Co-Founders. An expert on the most critical asset in a business: the Co-Founder partnership.
Nicki unites business partners by building an aligned vision and a clear plan for growth, working to resolve tension and master communication. She also coaches people navigating their way in or out of a business partnership. Helping Founders feel informed and confident about such an important process.
So many businesses fail or fall short because their partnership isn’t effective, and Nicki is on a mission to change that.
Nicki works directly with clients as well as hosting workshops for the likes of Bournemouth University, LABS, Time Out and more. She’s also a speaker, panelist and soon to be podcast host.
Alongside her coaching, Nicki is the Co-Founder of branding agency LUNA + LION, and delivers strategy, identity and design for lifestyle brands. She is also in the process of launching a coffee infused hot sauce business (because why not…)
