Biography
I am a corporate trainer and NLP-qualified business coach with thirty years’ experience gained from working in both the public and private sector.
Skilled at designing tailored programmes for a variety of clients, my focus and purpose is to engage, educate and empower people to be their best selves. Through my specialist areas I help you and your teams be brilliant! I work with both business's and individuals helping to identify and unlock potential, purpose and productivity at work and in life. I turn fearful individuals into fearless, responsible and collaborative teams, thereby delivering business success. This has included working as an individual and in teams of trainers over a three-year period to deliver an induction programme for over 300 graduates.
The past seven years have been dedicated to creating and delivering personal performance training programmes. These programmes ‘up skill’ individuals and teams to be more effective, efficient and empowered in all areas of their life.

Testimonials
Nicky is a warm, genuine, authentic lady who possess both the natural strengths, personal experiences and academic skills needed to offer support, advice and training at a high level, on a wide range of personal growth topics. Nicky has been supporting me through my personal and career growth for a number of months now and each time we've met I've taken away tools and advice that I've been able to immediately implement. Within minuets Nicky seemed to intuitively know and understand my situation and was able to tap into my own personal beliefs in order to both relate to me and offer me the sort of support and advice that would be useful to me as an individual. I've also had the pleasure of witnessing Nicky give support and advice in a group situation. Nicky has the ability to quickly and almost intuitively read, understand, relate and empathise with individuals in the group in order to offer specific advice. Nicky has the ability and flair to work at a high level with both individuals as well as larger groups. I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend Nicky for any individual or group development work.
Emma Molloy Dip, Marketing Consultant, Trainer, Lecturer. Digital Coach and Trainer at Google Digital Garage.
I have worked with Nicky for the past 3 years and have found that whatever the format of training/workshop she presents it is always relevant and extremely useful. Nicky has a wonderful way of challenging thinking, helping people to see things in new ways and move forward in a productive and positive way. I would highly recommend any organisation to engage with Nicky either for 1-2-1 coaching, Leadership & Executive training or company-wide staff engagement and wellbeing exercises. If you talk through your requirements Nicky will be able to use all her experience and knowledge to build you a programme specific to the outcomes required.
Cathy Hinsley, Business Support Manager at AAG IT Services
This woman is special. She is, of course, skilful as a trainer in her areas of interest but her special talent is noticing and engaging with individuals in a group who need that extra touch, that extra minute, that extra encouragement or challenge. She achieves engagement, helps individuals and work teams take ‘action this day’ meeting the required and desired objectives. There are many trainers and coaches who are good professional people, but Nicky Valantine has a real additional gift; she can build RAPPORT easily and focus on pushing people to achieve their own unique potential…….serious work completed with a smile and with encouragement, but also with challenge and focus.
