What leaders say after working with Spark
"You changed my life! When I started the leadership journey I wanted to terminate an employee but you empowered me with improved leadership skills to turn around a low performer to become one of our best contributors. It not only got me the opportunity to move to a regional position, but to overachieve in my new position."

Sr Manager, Amadeus
"Thank you for creating an open-minded, and non-judgmental environment in the workshop. I already received very good feedback from the participants and some of them truly recommend this training for others in the office. I recommend Nicole as a training consultant. She always finds the gentle way to challenge our teams whilst making them feel supported and at ease."

She was professional, empathetic and positive. The coaching framework gave me the structure to help me to focus and get my life back on track. Probing my values was the most illuminating. Thanks so much for everything Nicky, it was definitely worth it."
