“Nicki has a great gift for capturing the essence of people, businesses and ideas, and using it to spin a story. She’s the sort of free thinker that organisations and people who want to set the pace need to have on their side! The brand pyramid and stylish bio’ she wrote for me are brilliant. The pyramid enabled me to finally understand what it is I do for a living. The bio, enables potential clients to easily see how I can help them. It’s a great door-opener which always entices people to find out more.”
 
Katie Ledger, presenter on BBC’s flagship technology programme CLICK, presentation coach and new media mentor.

“Stories provide a powerful tool for stating and sharing a company’s vision and purpose. At the heart of every good business story there lies a truth that is simple enough for the management to communicate and so recognisable that others can quickly connect with it. Finding these truths and making connections can be tricky. Communicating the same truth again and again, without loosing the magic is an art form.
 
Nicki has worked with Microsoft’s corporate social responsibility team on several story-telling initiatives. Her input and advice at a strategic level is just as valuable as her ability to spot angles --- often very surprising ones --- and tell a story which engages people emotionally and inspires them to act.” 

Bronwyn Kundhart, Director of Citizenship, Microsoft UK
“Nicki has the ability to capture and communicate the essence of a person or organisation. She knows how to clarify the theme they want to express---then communicate these messages in ways that captivate and inspire audiences. Incredibly customer focused, she takes enormous pains to get alongside people, distil their story and express it in ways that are exciting, enriching and effective. Nicki provides the communication arm that many people and organisations long for to get their messages out to the world.”

“We are very busy people in a very specialist sector and we really appreciate Nicki’s ability to draw on her wide-ranging experience to advise us how to get our message across to a very diverse market. She shows a genuine interest in our work and in the outcomes of our marketing and goes to a lot of trouble to ensure she understands our business, which due to its pioneering nature, can be difficult to communicate.”
