About Nikki Marsh

"My role as a qualified executive coach is to help you discover your own strategies, capabilities, and competencies to shine in your career. You have all the answers within you, I’ll help you unlock them." 

 Nikki Marsh

Hello, I’m Nikki

My passion in life is understanding what makes people tick, this has been the golden thread throughout my career. I started out in marketing, gradually diversifying to include digital and customer-centric culture transformations in the private (including regulated environments) and public sector. As an experienced and successful business leader, I spent several years on the Executive Committee of a well-known financial services organisation. 

Qualified and committed

After many years coaching and mentoring colleagues, and a transformative coachee experience of my own, I know the extraordinary value executive coaching can bring, and want to share that value with others. Personal development is valuable wherever you are in your career, so I formalised my executive coaching skills through the completion of a postgraduate qualification, the ILM Level 7 Certificate of Executive Coaching & Mentoring.  I abide by the Global Code of Ethics, adopted by the EMCC and ICF.

The perfect combination

Building on a positive and rewarding experience as a Trustee for a national Not-for-Profit organisation, based in Harrogate I now combine executive coaching with a portfolio career as a Non-Executive Director, helping organisations and people to thrive. I predominantly coach online but can work face to face (subject to travel expenses) if preferred. This combination provides me with an up-to-date understanding of opportunities and challenges facing organisations and senior leaders.


I love what I do!

"I'm delighted to have secured my first Board Trustee role, the very first one I applied for.  Working with Nikki made all the difference.  In just two coaching sessions, Nikki helped me refine my personal statement and CV, and prepare thoroughly for the interview.

I went into the process feeling confident and well-prepared, and the panel commented on how clearly I communicated the breadth of skills I could bring.  That was very much thanks to the focused and practical support I received.  Nikki's advice was truly invaluable, and I'm very grateful for her guidance."
