Hi, I’m Nic — coach, facilitator, and founder of Your Career Compass. I’m a “people” person in every sense of the word — even leading People Teams in the corporate world.
I’m also a mum of two beautiful children. Before they arrived, I worked hard to climb the corporate ladder (and enjoyed every minute of it). What I didn’t expect was just how much I’d love being a mum. After that, I had to find the new me. How could I be fully present at work and at home? What needed to shift — in my work, in our routines, in how I defined success?

Navigating Transitions - My Own and Yours
That’s just one of the transitions I’ve navigated. Others include moving from being an expert in one field and making lateral moves to another area of the business where I had to relearn. It gave me depth and opened new doors, but was often uncomfortable, and yet always valuable. In every case, what I needed most was time to reflect, space to think, and an objective ear.
That’s what I offer now — a fresh perspective, grounded support, and the kind of clarity that helps you move forward. Are you ready to explore what’s next? Book a free discovery call.
What I believe
I believe in authenticity at home, at work and in how we lead teams. We do our best work when everything is aligned - head, heart and gut. It is usually when one isn’t that we lose confidence, clarity, or trust in ourselves.
My coaching helps you bring those three back into alignment — so you can move forward with purpose and calm.
My Experience
Career Compass was born from my own turning point — being made redundant after years in a role I loved.
That experience led me to start something I truly believed in: helping others navigate their own career transitions with clarity, confidence, and direction.
With 18 years’ experience in recruitment, learning and development — and an executive coaching qualification from Henley Business School — I bring real-world insight and practical support to every conversation.
Whether you’re:
A mum returning to work after time away
A professional navigating change
A career returner who’s lost confidence
Or a leader ready to grow but unsure where to begin —
I’m here to help you find your next step.
