I’m passionate about helping you grow & make an impact
Meet Nikki
As founder of Pinnacle Perspectives, I bring over 20 years corporate talent and development expertise in support of leaders and high potential people.
A fully accredited ILM Level 7 Coach & Mentor, a dedicated member of the Association for Coaching (AC) and proud member of the Harvard Business Review (HBR) Advisory Council, I assist my clients to move from operational to strategic leadership, adopting transformational over transactional approaches, as they look to lead innovation and change, celebrate difference and diversity (EDI) and attract and nurture talent and potential.
My expertise lies in blending classic coaching approaches with creative talent and development solutions - specialising in outdoor practice, I co-partner with nature to unblock and inspire fresh perspective and new mindsets.
A key aspect of my work focuses on emotional and relationship intelligence (EQ/RQ) and I am proud to partner with the Core Strengths Psychometric Profiling Team to provide deeper insight into personality, strengths and overcoming conflict.
Above all things, wellbeing is at the heart of my working practice and as a Mental Health First Aider (MHE), I am proud to offer wellbeing and resilience coaching programmes as well as a full outdoor coaching service.
Based in South Yorkshire, with full flexibility to travel, I am currently working with clients across the UK and Europe in both private and public sector organisations including, academia, international bio-pharmaceuticals, local government and retail.
Nikki Uncovered
When I’m not coaching and consulting, you’ll find me out in nature - where I do my best thinking! Hiking the UK hills and mountains and currently ticking off the Wainwrights and Munros as I go! I caught the walking bug during the pandemic and shortly after completed the Yorkshire, Welsh and National 3 Peaks, 12 & 24 hour challenges, raising over 36k for non-profit child mental health charities (causes very close to my heart). Such endeavours also inspired the name of my business - Pinnacle Perspectives!
In 2017, my love of sport and team work motivated me to form and proudly captain - Steelbirds netball team, which remains a dedicated labour of love, bringing together a diverse group of women for a common cause.
My longest (slightly misguided) passion has been following the trials and tribulations of Sheffield United, my beloved football team, where I have had a season ticket since the age of 6. Indeed, supporting the Blades has taught me a lot about personal resilience and managing one’s own expectations - There is simply no glory in being a Blade, only hope!
Most importantly, and above all else, I am a devoted mum, and hopefully role model, to my two brilliant daughters, Lexie & Harriet, who continue to give me the inspiration and motivation to succeed.
I can help.
