Biography
|
I am a corporate and executive coach, empowering professionals, especially female lawyers, to achieve career ambitions whilst creating congruent lives.
Working as a criminal barrister for 19 years, I have enjoyed an unconventional approach to my career, with a scholarship to New Zealand, then doing voluntary work in Jamaica supporting Death Row attorneys. It was my most inspiring legal work to date, helping those facing acute injustice. |
|
Returning to the UK to a daily diet of Rape and Serious Sexual Offences trials, left me feeling there was a lack of personal congruency between the value of work I was doing here compared to that in Jamaica. So, in 2010, I retrained, whilst still in full time practice, qualifying in 2012 as a Corporate and Executive Coach with Coaching Academy, and NLP Practitioner with NLP Academy.
Starting my own coaching business was held in abeyance as I met my husband and had a family, although the desire to coach remained.
In 2016, I came across an opportunity which offered an element of business coaching, so I spent 18months as a successful network marketer. Personal congruency was still lacking, however, and so it was that I launched Nikki Alderson Coaching.
I offer 1-1 coaching and group workshops covering 3 specific areas:
I have particular experience in coaching lawyers and talk the same language, given my background as a barrister. I understand the expectations of the legal profession, the challenges of retaining talented women within it, and the importance of career management to reach one’s full potential.

Having Nikki as a coach has supported me and helped me to progress on goals more quickly than I would have done without coaching. Nikki is a great coach and I would highly recommend her to anyone considering hiring a coach. Absolutely brilliant workshop. Thank you, Nikki, for equipping us to move our businesses forward with great coaching tools and tips. |
Through a series of very powerful sessions with Nikki, she helped me break down what I needed to do [to change career] and helped me commit to doing it. Nikki was so effective because she was entirely flexible with me, listened to what I said and adapted her Coaching accordingly. Nikki is very approachable and friendly, an excellent listener and a very kind, non-judgemental person. Excellent coaching by Nikki which was much appreciated and has been very effective even to the present day. |
