Unlocking your top 1% potential starts at the core.
Boards, senior leaders, and sales teams in professional services, financial services, and private banking face unseen barriers. Misaligned strategies. Fractured teams. Fixed and limited mindsets. This slows progress. Success isn’t about working harder, but addressing these issues at the source.
High-performance requires clarity, alignment, and discipline. Overcoming blind spots. Breaking unproductive mindsets. Recalibrating team dynamics. Resolving misalignment. Next-level results happen when you tackle obstacles at the core.
Nis Arend equips boards, leadership teams, and sales teams in global organisations to achieve exceptional performance. With expertise honed as Vice President at Barclays Wealth Management, Nis has delivered results for some of the world’s most respected names, strengthening client relationships and driving performance at scale.
Her achievements include training HSBC’s entire global private banking division on trust and excellence and coaching Barclays’ top 25 private bankers to deliver enhanced team excellence, ROI, and market leadership.
Renowned for her no-nonsense, results-driven approach and deep understanding of human behaviour, Nis empowers your people to unlock their top 1% potential and deliver tangible outcomes. Boards and leadership teams gain the tools and strategies to achieve unparalleled results: disciplined, impactful, and grounded.
Our journey as a new Board involved dealing with Brexit, rising raw material costs and Covid-19. With Nis’s support our resilience grew and we achieved what once seemed impossible: our turnover grew by over 60% and we maintained strong profit margins.

When progress stalls, it’s often due to unresolved conflicts, misaligned priorities, or a lack of accountability.
If your board isn’t delivering, the underlying issues might be hidden beneath the surface.
That’s where I come in.
I identify the unspoken dynamics and root causes of dysfunction, guiding Boards to resolve conflicts, leverage individual and collective strengths, and build connection with each other and their leadership teams.
With clarity, alignment, and accountability, your board will take decisive action and achieve meaningful results.
When Helen Young asked for my support, her board faced immense challenges: Brexit, Covid-19, and the war in Ukraine were threatening their supply chain, raw material costs were soaring, and cash flow was a constant battle.
Together, we transformed her team from surviving to thriving, reviving business performance and empowering them to lead with confidence, clarity, and courage.
…It's been a game changer for our staff and clients. Success stories have already surfaced. This sales program has been responsible for bringing in $15m of net new money so far.
~ George, President
Misalignment, inconsistent performance, and misplaced motivation can hinder sales teams.
And quietly ambitious introverted salespeople are often overlooked in favour of their charismatic extroverted counterparts.
It’s easy to see why many teams fall short of delivering their best.
That’s where I come in.
I tackle these challenges head-on, helping sales teams align, improve behaviours, instil confidence, and develop disciplined habits that drive results.
Whether navigating diverse dynamics or coaching leaders to adapt their approach, I focus on building a high-performing team that achieves measurable outcomes.
When Amer’s sales team in Dubai faced a crossroads, they felt stuck and uncertain about new opportunities.
They believed they had exhausted their existing channels to market.
During a five-day intensive, we uncovered hidden opportunities, identified an untapped niche market, and developed new strategies to reach their ideal client in an untapped emerging market.
By shifting their mindset and providing tangible tools, I helped them break free from their old patterns and identify untapped opportunities.
The results?
The team landed over $10M in new business – and counting…
Today, they continue to build on the framework to innovate and rinse and repeat their success.
I thought my career was over after two decades in one organisation but after the journey with Nis, I walked away with a new mindset, a renewed focus and new ways to enjoy a more fulfilling new chapter.
~ Robin, Managing Director
Leadership can be a lonely place.
Are you feeling fulfilled in your role, or are you simply going through the motions?
The biggest challenge often isn’t external – it’s internal.
You’ve lost the drive, the inspiration, the “mojo” that once fuelled your ambition.
You’re stuck, unsure where to turn next.
You’ve probably searched for answers, looked at getting support, but the right fit feels elusive.
You’re not alone. I can help you.
You’ve mastered the visible success, now it’s time to access your inner game.
I guide dedicated, smart leaders to rediscover their purpose, unlock their top 1% potential, and shift from external pressures to internal fulfilment.
This transformational journey starts with an assessment leading to a new adventure of profound shifts both personally and professionally.

You must stop settling for a version of success that doesn’t fully satisfy you.
