Over 15+ years of HR leadership experience, serving clients as a Career Coach & Personal Branding expert, Nikki helps clients figure out what they want to do for a job or career and how to land offers. She helps clients figure out strategic goals with a focus on tactical steps.
I would describe myself as customized and practical…I am aware of helping clients benefit from coaching while being mindful of the time and expenses involved. My goal is to help clients get further and faster than they may have gotten on their own, focusing on their specific priorities and goals. I like to ask many questions and follow-up sessions with suggested resources and a reminder of the next steps we discussed that they may consider taking. I also strive to be a safe, judgment-free space where they can start to honestly address their needs and values while ensuring to keep those in mind when it comes to their professional branding updates and action plans.
I help clients understand how HR or hiring managers view them and what they can do to improve these perceptions through professional branding, networking, interviewing and negotiating tactic improvements.
Success happens when a client reaches their goal - landing an interview, getting a job offer, or finally figuring out what they want to do to develop an action plan to go for it. It is sometimes a big success, but sometimes it’s a small one, such as having a conversation with their supervisor about their desired pay increase.
-Helped a client receive a 6 figure job offer that was nearly 50% greater than they were already getting paid. -Assisted a recently laid off employee into receiving multiple job offers within a few months, helping them feel more confident and secure in what roles were best for them. -Worked with a PhD level client looking to leave the public sector and find work with a healthcare start up, helping them to have a results based interview that would make them stand out to a recruiter and hiring manager.
