"I found Nicky to be extremely professional, while very personable, which meant my team really warmed to her quickly. Nicky shared two seminars with us and then worked on a 1:1 basis with my team, the aim was to help them reach their full potential as sellers plus being more collaborative across our ecosystem. She covered a lot of information, providing a lot of strategies, tools, techniques and a new way to look at situations and others. The team have found these strategies and tools really useful to use daily in all areas of life, which we are seeing the benefits within work too. Plus, the feedback session with myself, my sales manager and Nicky were invaluable, understanding how best to manage each individual to get the best out of them in different situations.
My team dynamics are changing for the better, with everyone working more collaboratively and effectively together, focusing on a win-win approach, which is really benefiting us as a business and for them personally. In myself I have seen a big change with how I perceive challenges, feeling more accepting and relaxed with my approach. It really has helped me with my wellbeing and performance, its powerful stuff and does work.
I would certainly recommend Nicky Anstey's Performance and Wellness Programme and consultancy to other executives and businesses who want to support their staff to be their best, to maximise their potential, so that everyone wins. I have secured funding for Nicky to continue to work with my team, I think that says it all."

"Nicky is a consummate professional who comes across with an easy and engaging manner that creates an immediate interactive and open approach in the sessions she delivers. A cheerful personality who clearly knows her subject matter inside out. Handles questions comfortably and successfully encourages participation in any of her activities during her session.
Nicky was part of our training team, offering seminars to one of our corporate clients: Allianz Insurance plc. Her objective was to help those attending seminars fulfil their potential dreams and plans coming from the perspective of mental and physical wellbeing, to achieve a successful and positive transition from work with the expected life course changes ahead with upcoming retirement. As much about attitude as actual detail.
Nicky shared insights, provided great advice and tools to allow individuals to better manage that transition.
Feedback for Nicky was always very good to excellent. Evidence that individuals had accepted the insights, were motivated, and had some tools to better help them make a successful transition.
A few examples of the feedback from the sessions:
'Nicky's session was refreshing and informative with ideas to reflect on and improve aspects of lifestyle.'
'Very professional and useful on so many levels - brilliant!!!'
'The seminar was relaxed and friendly and fun, and I feel I have learnt a lot of new things that will enable me to make better decisions about my retirement'
'Engaging and balanced a sense of humour with the complexity and seriousness of the session'
'Thought provoking with sufficient information to review the uninformed plans I had made for retirement.'
'knowledge and manner absolutely appropriate.'
We have worked with Nicky since 2017 and I have no hesitation to recommend her programmes and consultancy to other businesses who are committed to helping their staff feel and be their best. After all, we all know when employees feel positive, motivated, and well, then businesses benefit from their increased creativity, productivity, and financial growth. The insights for people facing a major life change, such as retirement, makes the transition easier for the individual with great goodwill created for the business too."

"I have really enjoyed and benefited from Nicky's advice strategies and tools that she has shared to help us be more self-aware and manage others more proactively and positively for greater success. Nicky is very professional but also very personable and easy to talk to. She instantly put both myself and others at ease, which led to free-flowing and engaging conversations.
Nicky provided two seminars full of content for us to use, which then formed the basis of the 1:1 session she carried out with us. My personal aim was to understand how to have more confidence at work, especially when presenting, to have less anxiety over others’ opinion of me and to be less of a perfectionist! The business aim was to support the team to fulfil their potential and work more successfully and collaboratively within the team and their customers.
Nicky delivered high content seminars and insightful 1:1s, providing a lot of strategies, tools, and techniques which gave us a new way to perceive situations and others, helping us to detach from emotions and our perceived limitations. The team have taken on board the strategies and tools, as easy to use in everyday life and in our multidimensional roles and all areas of our lives. This is something that I've recognised in myself and also senior managers have noticed in me too, which is supporting my promotion and career path wonderfully. I was also very pleased to hear that the feedback session with the Sales MD, Sales manager and Nicky worked really well to help them understand how to positively lead each member of their team to maximize their potential, wellness and results for the best for all parties.
In relation to myself the biggest changes I've felt and noticed are a more confident and positive outlook to life, being more confident in my work abilities and understanding that my best is good enough. I’ve stopped striving for perfection, and have learnt how to have more meaningful and productive interactions with others. If you are looking to support your staff to be their best and feel strong and resilient, which in turn reaps positive benefits for your business, then I would definitely recommend Nicky Anstey's Performance and Wellness Programmes and consultancy to other businesses and executives. It certainly has been life changing for me!"

"I feel blessed to have been recommended to Nicky through a close friend as I was very interested in NLP for my business and personal life. Aside from Nicky having such a solid background of experience and all of the right credentials after initially speaking to Nicky I knew that she was someone who could massively help.
From having one to one sessions for my business, Nicky introduced me to very new ways of thinking for instance learning that the human brain only takes so many of the thousands of messages it receives every second along with simple and powerful techniques and learnings gained, I was immediately able to translate these into advancing and enhancing much healthier business relationships to suppliers and clients. This in turn made the day to day running of my business much more productive, successful and enjoyable for me and everyone around me.
Along with the Performance and Wellness coaching Nicky provided I also committed to the six weeks NLP course for my personal life. Both were life changing and I cannot recommend Nicky enough in her delivery and content. For any staff motivation issues or if you are looking to inspire your brightest stars to shine even brighter then having Nicky help your team will be a golden asset I have no question. I would also highly recommend the NLP course for individuals as the human brain is the greatest piece of equipment we will ever possess without shadow of a doubt. Making your thoughts positive and powerful is the key to true success and happiness."

"Working with Nicky has been a truly positive and life changing experience. She has a very clear, warm and engaging style and a fascinating understanding of how the mind works. Nicky shared with me a number of tools and techniques to help me look at situations in a new way and, importantly, inject more positivity into my life, both professionally and personally.
The benefits of working with Nicky have been huge. I am more confident which has led to improved communication with others, better relationships, collaboration and team success.
My increased focus on positivity has led to higher energy levels and abetter overall ability to achieve my goals both personally and professionally; with colleagues and Senior Directors noticing the change, resulting in my promotion to FD Level.
I would not hesitate to recommend Nicky to any individual, organisation or team looking to improve their performance, energy levels and achievement of goals!"
