Empowering Leaders to Achieve Extraordinary Results

Iām Nicola Hladky, an Executive Mindset & Leadership Coach.
I help founders, executives and ambitious leaders create growth with confidence and ease.
My approach blends performance coaching and psychotherapy, helping clients move beyond surface-levelĀ to transform the mindset, identity and strategy that underpin lasting success.
The truth is: true leadership isnāt just about performance. Itās about self-belief, resilience and building success in a way that feels sustainable.
Thatās why I do this work, because I love helping leaders grow with more clarity, capability and control.

My Journey to Leadership Mastery
Like many of the leaders I work with, my path hasnāt been a straight line.
Iāve felt the pressure of high achievement, the weight of responsibility and stressĀ of always needing to keep everything together.
At times, my outward success felt very different on the inside.
That experience led me to explore psychology and performance coaching. Not only as tools for others, but as a way of better understanding myself.
Through years of training as a psychotherapist and becoming an accredited high-performance coach, I learned that effective leadership doesnāt come from pushing harder. It comes from clarity, self-awareness and knowing how to pair vision with mental wellbeing.
The Elevation MethodĀ came out of this realisation.
My unique method blends the psychological depth of therapy with the practical edge of performance coaching helping ambitious leaders not just achieve more, but feel aligned, capable and calm while doing it.
Today, I share this framework with founders, executives and professionals who are ready to step into leadership that is both successful and sustainable.
