My Novel: Pivotal

"Brilliant debut novel that is truly inspirational reading and exciting!"

I’m delighted to say Pivotal is out now! Published by Hashtag Press on 17th October 2019, it reached the finals of the People’s Book Prize 2020Page Turner Awards 2020, and is still receiving multiple 5* reviews. Of course, like most writers, my ambition is to reach as wide an audience as possible and for Pivotal, to be a resounding success. A bestseller turned blockbuster, why not?

My Work

Books

My writing ambition is to break through with a novel that makes its mark, changes people’s thinking, helps the reader believe in themselves, and make their own positive impact on the world. 

Mentoring

My mentoring provides structure, support, and accountability for anyone who is serious about finishing their book. With personalised guidance, you’ll stay on track and achieve your writing goals.

Speaking

Bridging the gap between creativity and performance, I guide audiences through the how, what and why of creativity, showing them how to harness it for well-being, innovation, and success. 

what people say

Kind Words

“It was a real delight when Nikki gave her talk, Reclaiming Play: The Leadership Power of Creativity at our senior female networking group event.  The concepts of play and creativity are tucked away into scarce personal time, if there is time for them at all!  Our professional lives are poorer for it.

Nikki reminded us of the power of thinking differently, approaching challenge from different perspectives and giving space to more playful pursuits to release stress and anxiety, which allows us to think more creatively.  Her down-to-earth, natural interpersonal style engendered a relaxed session complete with creative play activities providing some pertinent key messages around the value of spending time on more creative pursuits.”

Chloe Watts

“YES absolutely I cannot recommend highly enough. Nikki was a gift that came at exactly the moment I needed it and kept me on my writing path. Without Nikki I would have fallen by the wayside.”

Sarah Nias – Contemporary fiction

“Nikki has the rare ability to listen and extract incredibly interesting information from her guests. Both as a listener of her podcast series and as a previous guest, the time flies listening to a conversation choreographed by Nikki delving into the creative spirit and personal motivations of her guests and keeps me coming back for more!”

Theo Michaels – TV Chef, award winning author and co-founder of FiveDinners.com 

“I love this podcast!  Nikki has a warm, friendly tone and comes across as really approachable.  It is easy to listen to and the guests are interesting and have different perspectives.  There is no ‘right’ way to be more creative and enhance your life and The Creative Switch embodies this.  Recommended.”

Rachel Bamber – Neuroleadership Expert

“This book isn’t all its surface has you believe – and that makes it such a difficult book to review, as it’s so important that its secrets (revealed satisfyingly near the book’s end) hit you with the same punch that I felt. The whole book was very different, highly original, its construction impeccable, its characters enthralling – and I very much enjoyed it.”

Anne Williams, Award winning book blogger and RNA Media star of the Year 2019 and 2022

“A smart, informative podcast which focuses on how people switched their careers or lives to chase their creativity, or with guests who support others to do so. Nikki the host gives good space for her guests to share their stories and there is always something to take away from the episode. Highly recommended.”

Pernille Hughes – Best-selling RomCom Author
