I had the privilege of participating in Nicke Abrahams' Winning Attitude: Goal-Setting and Time Management course,! The sessions were punchy and packed with valuable insights that have given me more clarity and confidence as I plan for 2025.One of the biggest takeaways for me was learning to focus on the ONE thing that offers the highest value—an approach that aligns perfectly with my goal of building a business that supports the lifestyle I desire, rather than working around the clock.I especially appreciated the opportunity to reflect and write down my goals, which now provide as a daily guide—a roadmap to stay on track and cut through the clutter. The sessions were engaging, empowering, and incredibly practical.Nicke was open, professional, warm, funny, and engaging—a true pleasure to learn from. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to streamline their focus and align their goals with their dreams.Thank you, Nicke, for this incredible opportunity!

I recently attended the "Speak with Impact" course, and I can’t express how transformative it was for me as an entrepreneur. Before the course, standing up to introduce myself at networking events felt like all the oxygen was being sucked out of the room. I struggled to convey who I am and what my business does, despite having a powerful story to share.In just four weeks, this course completely changed my reality. It equipped me with the tools to articulate my story, enabling me to stand confidently in front of a room full of people and truly be my authentic self. I learned not only how to introduce myself but also how to engage and connect with others.Nicke is an exceptional coach! Her energy, confidence, and guidance made all the difference. She provides a wealth of easily absorbed content and engages with each participant, making the learning experience enjoyable and impactful. By the end, I found myself wishing I could go through it all again.I highly recommend attending this course. You’ll gain so much more than you ever anticipated!

I entered Speak With Impact hoping to refine my public speaking skills, and by the end of the course, I not only achieved that but also crafted and delivered a signature keynote talk effortlessly.... without notes. The transformation was remarkable.Nicke’s coaching style is both empowering and insightful. She pushes you to embrace your unique voice and helps you build a structure that turns ideas into a captivating narrative. Week after week, I gained the confidence to stand up and deliver speeches that resonated with clarity and conviction.One of the most rewarding aspects was walking away with a fully formed keynote talk that felt authentically mine. I’m proud to add this new skill to my CV, and I’m genuinely excited to see how it enhances my career moving forward.Whether you're a seasoned speaker looking for that extra edge or just starting, Speak With Impact is a game/ life changer!

The course is not just sharing information, it's so much more than that. It's building confidence you didn't know you lacked, meeting your team at their own level to establish not only rappor with them but also their needs and how you can help them reach their next level, whatever that might be. It also allows you to allow each team member to maintain their own personality while you adapt yours to theirs thereby allowing them to grow and still be themselves. It teaches you to lead and be lead and others who want to follow in your footsteps. The work environment transcends from OKto 'What do you want me/us to do next? The energy is positive and your team is no longer scared to share ideas with you.Nicke is amazing in that she allows you to fail(so to apeak) so that you can pick yourself up and be a better version of a leader, thereby being able to allow your own team to ' fail' and they arise from the ashes like a Phoenix. This course is not just for business but your personal life as well. I am me, but a better version and each day with my team might bring new challenges but now it's turned around to become a win, where it's not just me, but my team who comes up with the solutions.Do Nicke' course, feel and see yourself and those around you transform! Help others transform! Thank you so much Nicke. Looking forward to the next course with you.

Before embarking on the leadership training course with Nicke, I had some vague notions of what a good leader should be and do, but nothing concrete and practical. The journey with Nicke over 3 months was not only training in how to be an effective leader, with proactive advice and frameworks, but it also became my weekly mentoring session for my personal career growth. I felt myself growing in confidence through our weekly interactions, recognising the skills and experience I already had and identifying areas where to improve. I particularly enjoyed the accountability Nicke instilled so that I am constantly pushing myself forward to figure out what's working, what's not working and how can I fix it 🙂 I would highly recommend Nicke's leadership transformation course to anyone, no matter what stage of your career you are in.

I recently completed Nicke's "Speaking with Impact" course and it was truly transformative!Nicke's confidence and energy as a speaker initially drew me in at a Mom Biz networking event. Afterwards, I connected with her over coffee and learned about her exciting new course. Feeling inspired, I signed up right away. I knew this was my turning point to shake off the fear of public speaking.The course itself was exceptional. Four intensive Friday sessions were packed with valuable information, personal stories, practical tips, and opportunities to practice with some amazing people. Not only did my confidence grow exponentially, but I also formed strong friendships with Nicke and my fellow participants. Nicke has this incredible ability to bring out the best in everyone!Special Guest speakers added even more value to the experience and was a wonderful surprise.By the end of the course, I had found my voice and learned to confidently share my story clearly so I reach a broader audience with my products. The graduation ceremony was the perfect finale. We showcased our newfound skills by presenting our stories in front of a supportive audience at a beautiful venue.If you're looking to gain confidence and become a more impactful speaker, I highly recommend Nicke's "Speaking with Impact" course! Don't walk… run! It will be well worth it.

I completed Nicke Abrahams' Recruiting Talent course, which equipped me with all the necessary tools to make my first successful hire. What particularly impressed me about the course was Nicke's skill in breaking down the recruitment process into a user-friendly, step-by-step approach that is accessible to anyone.

Wow! Never did I expect to get what I got from the training sessions with Nicke. What I have gained from attending these excellent training sessions cannot be sufficiently described in words. Nicke was there every step of the way and supported me through a very difficult process. I was humbled that she believed in me so much and believed 100% whole heartedly that I would be a success at it and I am proud to say that I was. The mentorship that I have received will stay with me for the rest of my life. Nicke, your energy is incredible and I can totally understand why everyone wants to be in your company and wants a piece of you. Thank you from the bottom of heart for all your wisdom and guidance. I look forward to doing many, many more public speaking and know you will be right next to me 🙂

"Knowledge is only powerful, if you consistently put it into action." In the property industry, we are daily faced with challenges and through the leadership course Nicke gave us a toolbox full of tools to use in every situation. Not only to resolve an issue, but to allow the people we work with, to grow and become more successful themselves. I will strongly suggest you do this amazing leadership course to find out "what is working, what is not working and what needs fixing," all while you are growing as a person and a leader.
