"Since working with Coach Nikki for less than a year so far, I am happy to say that she has breathed new life and fire and direction into my struggling translation business, since things really slowed down for me during Covid! Nikki is fierce and always fighting for your success, but always kind, flexible and extremely generous with her time and wealth of business expertise and resources! I have greatly expanded my business knowledge with her very practical business profitability classes. I am excited to continue to partner with a seasoned coach who always goes out of her way to give you her best and challenge you to stretch towards personal and business excellence."

"This class exceeded my expectations..."
I initially thought I had at least a basic understanding of government contracts, but the course expanded my knowledge in a way that felt manageable—like building blocks. Each week, we added to what we had learned previously, deepening my understanding without overwhelming me. Nikki did an excellent job keeping the presentation engaging. She personalized the content with real-world examples and tailored it to resonate with individuals in the class. The slides were clean and straightforward, which helped prevent the session from feeling overwhelming—even though we covered a significant amount of information.
