Nicky Baker

Partner
Coach | Facilitator

Nicky specialises in leadership development and has worked as a facilitator and coach in the fields of leadership, talent and organisational development across the private, public and not-for-profit sectors. 

Background

My career has always centred around people and learning. I realised this 15 years ago when I first worked with a large team of volunteers in a not-for-profit. I experienced how getting alongside people, listening deeply to their own motivations and supporting them through self-reflection could bring about positive transformation and collective success.

Since then I have been coaching and facilitating individuals and teams at both the executive and emerging leader levels across Asia Pacific. I currently design and deliver state-wide leadership programs for NSW Health as well as provide Executive Coaching across the public and private sectors to clients such as Deloitte, The Department for Education, Private Medical Practices and Not-for-Profits. 

My Why

I am convinced that building leadership capability and self-understanding creates growth, performance, and system-wide well-being. I love learning from all those I interact with. 

How I Work

I'm a collaborative team player. I enjoy partnering with others (clients or colleagues), getting to know their culture, vision, strengths and pain points to ensure I understand their leadership needs and can tailor approaches accordingly. I am flexible and am very comfortable to adjust offerings based on emerging needs of the client, learners or coachees. I am at my best when I can work with people, connecting them with each other and with a deeper understanding of themselves. 

What I Do

Currently, I draw on Adaptive Leadership, Positive Psychology, Collective Leadership and Compassionate Leadership to design bespoke leadership solutions for teams and organisations. This means that no day is the same; designing solutions that can include assessments, workshops, coaching, feedback and/ or organisational development advice. 

What I Love

On a day off, you'll find me at the beach with a coffee (or G&T depending on the time of day), a book in my hand and my family not far off.
