“I had the privilege of supporting Nikkia as an Executive Assistant at Netflix. In my role, I’m used to being the one anticipating needs, reading moods, and ensuring everything runs smoothly for my executives. It’s rare to have that kind of attentiveness and genuine interest reflected back to me. But from the moment I met Nikkia, she made it a point to truly get to know me—not just what I could do, but who I am.

She was genuinely curious about what makes me tick, and that level of care made me want to go above and beyond for her. Nikkia was as invested in my happiness and growth as I was in supporting her success. That’s just who she is—she leads with empathy, integrity, and intention.

Without realizing it at first, I was benefiting from her natural coaching skills. She encouraged me to speak up, take risks, and step into leadership roles on committees. Whenever I needed support or just someone to talk to, she was there—always making time, always present.

In a business world where dependability and honesty can be scarce, Nikkia stands out. She keeps her word, follows through on commitments—even when it's inconvenient—and she has continued to stay connected with me, long after our working relationship ended.

From a professional standpoint, I can also say without hesitation: Nikkia knows her stuff! Her intelligence and breadth of knowledge are matched only by her empathy, creativity and passion. She brings a bold, human-centered approach to everything she does, making her truly unique in today’s workplace.

If you have the opportunity to work with Nikkia, take it! You’ll be so grateful you did. She’s a powerhouse, a joy to be around, and someone you’ll never forget.”

“I was on Nikkia’s team while we were both at Netflix, and she truly was a one-of-a-kind manager, especially in the context of Netflix’s intense, high-performing culture. She stood out to me as a leader who was truly invested in my personal growth, coaching me in our 1-on-1s through challenges above and beyond how to make impact in my work to how to fully integrate professional goals and talents with personal ambition and passions. Nikkia knew both my strengths and weaknesses, and we aligned on how she was going to support my growth, from nudging me behind the scenes to speak up in meetings, to advising me on my overall approach, to even reviewing drafts of emails I’d send to senior leadership to help me best frame my asks and research-informed POV. Nikkia was also incredibly honest and candid about sharing her own challenges, learnings, and reflections demonstrating her deep empathy and fostering a deep sense of trust that we’d be in each other’s corner. Nikkia is an incredible leader and coach, and I couldn't recommend her more if you're looking for an amazingly empathic, thoughtful, and caring leader to help you be all you want to be!”

"I had the privilege of working directly under Nikkia, and I can confidently say she is a one-of-a-kind leader and coach. Nikkia has a wealth of practical examples drawn from her experience, which she shares generously, providing invaluable insights and guidance. What truly sets her apart, though, is her exceptional ability to ask the right questions, enabling you to arrive at conclusions that are authentic to your individual context and needs. Unlike many career coaches who often rely on one-size-fits-all advice, Nikkia truly understands the complexity of each person and situation. I know her to always tailor her guidance to fit the unique circumstances of every individual, ensuring that her advice is both practical and deeply relevant. Conversations with Nikkia often feel like transformative therapy sessions, as she facilitates profound personal and professional growth. Additionally, Nikkia is incredibly savvy in navigating complex corporate dynamics. She knows when to encourage bold decision-making and when a more nuanced approach is necessary. Her ability to push you beyond your comfort zone while providing unwavering support is truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend Nikkia as a career coach. Her unique blend of empathy, insight, and strategic thinking makes her an invaluable asset to anyone looking to advance their career or navigate challenging situations."
