The throughline

At The Narrative Turn we help you step away from noise, expectations of others and other people's advice long enough so you hear what you actually think.

At work, that can change how we lead, make decisions, navigate transition and relate to one another.

The Narrative Turn offers coaching, workplace training and reflective tools for people and organisations navigating work, leadership and change.

Return to Inner Authority is the throughline of the work that we do.

Space to think clearly.
Insightful conversations.
More intentional choices.

What is Narrative Intelligence?

Narrative Intelligence is the ability to notice the stories shaping how we think, decide and lead - and to question the ones that no longer serve us.

The new narrative: the one that brings into view your values, your purpose, and builds voice and confidence to lead.

In Clients’Words

“I value so much our coaching circle sessions, led by Nicky.

We have a unique atmosphere of open sharing and caring, knowing that all opinions matter and are respected.

So many insights and ‘aha’ moments happen that I am so grateful for. All of that is made possible because of the foundation of trust that was created and carefully nurtured by our amazing coach, Nicky.

These sessions help me to keep the internal light even in the midst of stormy waters.”

“Nicky is an incredible coach. Since the beginning she was bright, energetic and goal-orientated and she created the best environment to work together. I have never had a coach who has given me so much passion and focus.”

“Nicky’s coaching style is a wonderful combination of earthy pragmatism and sparkling creativity. I found the magic of Nicky’s authentic voice, sharp intellect and ethos remarkably valuable.

She demonstrated a deep and thorough understanding of my values and vision and her coaching was instrumental in bringing these to light in a major project that is an expression of my own creativity and a culmination of my life work.”
