The Little Business Coach

Equipping small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs with the tools to get – and keep – your business out in the world.

Business coaching for dreamers, doers and damn-good ideas.

You’ve got something you want to build — maybe it’s a start-up you can’t stop thinking about, a new direction for your business, or a project that’s been pushed to the back burner for too long.

Life’s busy, and it’s hard to find the time or headspace to figure out what’s next. Between work, family, and everything in between, your goals can easily get lost in the day-to-day.

“Thank you Nicky for your amazing coaching! At first I was confused and overwhelmed about which direction I wanted to go, but over our sessions I felt more focused. You gave me the guidance and confidence to go for it – 6 months later I have my own business doing exactly what I want to be doing!”

Who are you?

I work with people who want to:

  • Get their business idea off the ground — and want some support figuring out where to start.

  • Keep their business growing — without burning out or losing sight of why they started.

  • Untangle the messy middle — when something isn’t working and you need to see the next step clearly.

Big ideas. Small steps. Real progress.

Who am I?

Hi, I’m Nicky.

Full disclosure – I’m a big fan of a fresh start.

I’ve tried, failed, changed, succeeded, stopped and tried again more than I can count! I’ve learned (the hard way) how tricky it is to balance the excitement of a good idea with the reality of life.

My coaching journey started back in 2022, supporting educators, executives and leaders in their professional development. In 2024 I branched out, providing coaching and consulting services to families navigating new beginnings abroad.

I now work with business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs who want their dreams to be both doable, and sustainable.

No big speeches or wild income promises — just clear thinking, a bit of structure, and a plan for you to take the next steps.

“When I started coaching, I really didn’t know what to expect. However, wherever my expectations were, they have been completely surpassed by my experiences with Nicky. Each session leaves me feeling confident, successful, and motivated. I’ve been able to manage my time so much better, allowing me to grow my business without losing myself in work. I feel less overwhelmed and have become a better version of myself for all the people in my life.”

Why me?

Business Owner

As a two-time small business owner, I know what it’s like to have a notebook full of ideas, or pressures that you just didn’t anticipate feeling like they’re stacking up against you. I’ve learned to take risks, pivot when needed, and trust my instincts—lessons I bring to coaching to help you feel less overwhelmed, make confident decisions and achieve the goals that matter most.

Expat

Years of living and working abroad have taught me how to navigate uncertainty, adapt to new challenges, and find belonging in unfamiliar environments. I’m no stranger to making leaps into the unknown, and I know how scary it is to be completely out of your comfort zone.

Educator

With a background in education, I’m great at breaking things down into easy-to-achieve tasks and keeping us on track. Years of chatting with children also means I’m as attuned to what you’re not saying as what you are, so we can get traction on what’s really going on – giving you clarity to make decisions that are right for you.

Change-Maker

Owning a business is never a linear process, and in the last 15 years I’ve changed careers, started and stopped businesses, had a baby, moved abroad – so I’m no stranger to the ups and downs! I’m great at making a plan when life throws the inevitable curveballs, or tuning in to that little voice that won’t go away – helping you to move forward, whatever happens next.
