Creating Value Beyond the Balance Sheet
I work with leaders and their teams to promote and integrate ethical principles for the environment, employees and community into their organisation's operational practices.​
My work provides clarity, structure and solutions tailored to each engagement, selected from a broad framework of best practices to be appropriate and effective for your organisation.
What really sets Nicola apart is how collaborative she is. She elevates the people around her, creates genuine teamwork, and builds trust quickly. Working with her feels like being part of a joined-up team rather than a consultant-client relationship.​

An Ethical Edge
I work with founders and leadership teams that:​
Understand the significant benefits of adopting and openly communicating ethical practices to clients, customers, stakeholders and potential investors.
Anticipate or plan for future certification (such as B-Corp or ISO) and want to begin embedding the practices now.
Are increasingly uneasy with pursuit of financial profit without increased attention to wider responsibilities.
Engagements usually start with a current-state assessment that is appropriate and effective for your specific organisation and the outcomes you want to achieve, drawing on recognised best practices across different certifications and your industry.​

Nicola operates in a calm, confident, independent manner, promoting progress where sometimes there can be intransigence. She is very skilled in helping groups achieve outcomes and with assisting in strategising and change management.
