Testimonials

Candid, straight forward and no BS.

A lot of ground covered in a very short space of time to highlight potentially dangerous personal blind-spots that can impact mindset.

Highly recommended to anyone where ‘enough’ will never be ‘enough’.

Scott Slater, Managing Director

My coaching session with Nis was extremely thought-provoking, I left the session with the tools I needed to address areas of my career I had no idea how to confront.

I didn’t really know what to expect from the session, I thought I would get a lot of psychological jargon I had heard before but our session was nothing of the sort. Very real! Very relevant and extremely impactful.

Nis’ style of coaching is a very unique one. I felt at ease and able to discuss and explore aspects of my career I hadn’t intentionally confronted in the past. Nis was able to get me talking about these areas and helped put me in the frame of mind I needed to go out and be better.

Tolu Ikimalo, Senior Talent Manager

Highly recommended in the world of high-performance under pressure. Her approach equipped me to develop my skills to transfer away from sport. Nis gave me a greater understanding of the unwritten rules, the key skills required and how to transition to the next phase in my career.

Ravi Singh Basra, Corporate Tax Director

David Smith MBE, David Smith, 2x World Champion & Olympic Gold Medalist

I booked Nis to gain clarity on a challenge I was facing. She quickly built rapport which enabled us to move at pace and created space to reflect. Nis asked thought-provoking questions and gave me feedback in the moment, providing her perspective which further cemented my thoughts. As a result, I have greater clarity coupled with a tangible action plan. I would have confidence in recommending Nis.

Joanna Dawson, Senior Director, Talent Management

Working in a competitive industry with a toxic leadership team, I was feeling overwhelmed and approaching what I realise now, is burnout. The coaching was exactly what I needed to stop me in my tracks. It helped me identify and address the root causes of my stress and imposter syndrome. With actionable strategies, new ways of dealing with the current leadership and techniques that have become habits, I’ve regained my confidence and found the renewed focus to continue to excel in my career in a way that allows me to ease the pressure I have been putting on myself.

Angela, HR Director

I had been considering a shift to Non-Executive Director roles but felt unsure where to start. The 1:1 session gave me the clarity I needed. This is my end of career career and I signed up for the 1:1 programme to be guided into this new territory. As a result, I landed my first NED role, and a further 4 roles across different industries and and I found myself in a position to decline one NED role. Nis guided me to understand the process, to get started, to understand my value, set the right fees, and step confidently into these new arenas. It’s been an invigorating fresh start for this chapter of my career, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

Brian, Non Executive Director

Before attending The Classic Day for Men Workshop, I was at a major crossroads after nearly two decades with the same company, unsure of my next steps and anxious about the future. I didn't know what to expect, but the experience was transformative. Nis guided me through a deep reflection on my life, helping me let go of things that no longer served me and focus on what truly matters.Since the workshop, I’ve gained incredible clarity and achieved personal milestones I never thought possible—earning my private pilot’s license, climbing mountains, and even participating in fitness photo shoots. I’m more self-aware, confident, and excited about my future. This workshop gave me the tools to truly transform my life, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for real change but unsure where to start.The Classic Day for Men was a life-changing experience, and I’m so grateful for it!

I recently attended a webinar on workplace bullying with Nis Arend on the panel. It was super informative and so insightful, Nis shared some great insights and perspectives on the topic which the audience, and myself, found really helpful. Nis definitely has a wealth of knowledge and a great style which engages an audience.

Nis's presentation skills were impressive, and I knew she would be an excellent addition to our Presentation Skills Bootcamp. She not only delivered a compelling keynote speech but also spent the entire day interacting with attendees, fostering connections, and helping them enhance their own presentation abilities.

I saw Nis presenting and felt that she would be great for our IT Bootcamp, which she was! She was our Keynote speaker and stayed for the day, talking to people and getting them involved in getting to know each other and themselves.

Having been in charge of creating a bespoke summer internship programme for over 200 students, I was tasked in finding a facilitator who would be able to command the audience of these young people. Nis Arend was recommended to me as someone who has had experience of doing this both in person, virtually and internationally with great success so sounded like the ideal fit. I must say that whatever expectations I had were completely surpassed with the feedback from the young people seeing Nis score 97% “Exceptional” and 100% “Would recommend” from the surveys conducted post programme. Her ability to engage a huge audience, virtually, for over 4 hours a day for a week is outstanding, with her constant knowledge, expertise, energy and enthusiasm second to none. Having witnessed every session she facilitated myself, I was in complete ore and left feeling inspired. She was able to bring individuals from a variety of different backgrounds into a neutral space, promoting our brand and ensuring that everyone felt included which is extremely challenging to do with an international bank the size and with a global reach like ours. I want to thank Nis again and not only would 100% recommend her and her work, but I will be using her services at any given opportunity I have.

Nis has been instrumental in my journey. Through her guidance, I've gained invaluable insights into setting boundaries and navigating extremely challenging situations.Previously, I’d often back down and justify myself to difficult individuals.Today, I confidently stand in my authority and communicate with conviction, and it feels great.What amazed me most was the rapid transformation I experienced after our 1:1 mentoring sessions. Nis provided me with a practical toolkit that I can rely on whenever I face difficulties, allowing me to spend less time firefighting and more time enjoying the rewards of my efforts.Her strategic approach has brought clarity and order to my life. I'm grateful for her support and wholeheartedly recommend her services to those looking to lead themselves better and live a more fulfilling life.
