Hi. Wonderful meeting, learning and being inspired by Nicke. Go Getters is an amazing platform to meet amazing people. Thanks 🙏🏼Posted on Google Nicole Spruit5 May 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just completed the live 12 week Leadership course with Nicke. What a pleasure every week was! Packed full of practical information, delivered with a rare, genuine warmth and followed up with weekly tasks that get you to put the lessons into practise immediately. Outside of the course, those around me saw the difference within a mere few weeks. I would recommend this course to those currently in leadership, no matter how many years you've led a team. If nothing else, Nicke has the ability to inspire and motivate even the most tired, jaded leaders. This course is great for those looking to get into leadership as well. You'll earn a bunch of new tools for your kit and sharpen a few you may already have. I look forward to continuing my journey with Nicke in the new year.Posted on Google Nicolene Smith4 May 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you're looking to make sense of the words in your head an formulate those words into a proper 7min key note speech, then the Speak with Impact for Public Speaking is the course for you!! This course gives you confidence, teaches you how to "babble" less, the do's & don'ts of writing and presenting a speech but above all, gives you an opportunity to tell your story. The course material is well researched and well structured and Nické is an excellent presenter. After the course has ended, Nické also spends a lot of time helping you get ready to present your speech for the graduation night. She is 100% invested in ensuring her students succeed. For her, this is not just a course, she's truly committed to changing lives and making sure her students reach their goals. This course is worth every cent!!

I absolutely loved the Speak with Impact course! It was not only incredibly valuable for improving my public speaking, but it was also fun, engaging, and packed with practical tools I could use immediately. One of the biggest breakthroughs for me was learning how much easier it is to remember what I want to say when I structure my presentations around real stories from my own business. This approach made speaking feel more natural, authentic, and impactful — and it has truly boosted my confidence. The course gave me fresh techniques, great energy, and a whole new perspective on connecting with an audience. If you want to become a more confident, memorable, and effective speaker, I highly recommend Speak with Impact with Nicke. It’s an investment in yourself that is absolutely worth it!Posted on Google Andiswa Hobongwana-Ganyile25 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I joined Nicke's Public Speaking for Impact sometime last year. She's such an absolute inspiration in the space of Public speaking. Before joining the program, I was very shy and also didn't like my voice when speaking in Public. Within few weeks in I slowly came out of my shell and began to love & embrace my deep voice. Nicke has a way of making everyone feel safe and special around her. Will definitely recommend any of Nicke's program, as it allows you to implement the content while you learn.Posted on Google Linda Remke23 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It takes amazing talent to unlock talent in others, and you have been blessed with this, Nicke Abrahams. You got all 9 of us to dig deep through your 'Winning Attitude'. It was rigorous yet gentle, as you came alongside each one of us to deliver our best in the evening. We have all found voice is our own unique way, and that we celebrate! I highly recommend your Impact Speaking Course to those who are nudged to make an impact, for self or for others. Personally, for me, this was the next layer of my healing process for 'THE LOOK'. Thank you, Nicke!! ❤️Posted on Google Jacques Harley28 January 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dear Nické, Thank you sincerely for the valuable Lunch Time Talk with Nické. I thoroughly enjoyed the session and found it both insightful and encouraging. Your way of sharing adds real depth and perspective, and it was a privilege to be part of the conversations. It is clear that a great deal of thought and care goes into what you do, and it truly makes a difference. I will definitely be penciling this time slot into my diary from now on – it is time well spent. With appreciation, Jacques HarleyPosted on Google Debbie Macnamara20 December 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. For those who haven’t yet attended any of Nicke’s Winning Attitude courses, I highly recommend them. This year, I’ve completed Effective Delegation, Goal Setting and Time Mastery, and most recently, Speak with Impact for Sales. Having spent 25 years in Corporate and attended many courses, I can confidently say these are among the best. They’re packed with practical, logical, and actionable insights. The impact has been incredible—I’ve walked away with so many valuable tools about communicating effectively in all types of media and gained so much confidence in speaking that I’m now planning to launch my own business podcasts! Thank you Nicke’
