About Nicola

Nicola is an experienced trainer (14 years) in the field of Employee Engagement and Workplace Culture. She is passionate about supporting teams and individuals to fulfil their potential and thrive in a culture of psychological safety and trust. Nicola’s lived experience of Domestic Abuse and her personal values of integrity, respect and dignity led her to a career change in becoming a Freelance Facilitator for Taye.

Prior to becoming a Freelance Facilitator for Taye, Nicola was an Employee Engagement Coach & Facilitator in the John Lewis Partnership where she supported business leaders to strengthen employee engagement, leverage employee voice, and increase morale in their teams. She has extensive experience of developing and delivering training in this field.

Earlier in her career she worked in the fields of Employee Assistance and Employee Relations, where she provided frontline support to employees and people managers in the John Lewis Partnership.

Nicola is inspired by the work of the organisations, charities and frontline professionals who supported her during her lived experience of domestic abuse – and this is a key motivator for her as a trainer in Domestic Abuse and Safeguarding related topics.
