Empowering Leaders to Achieve Extraordinary Results

I’m 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 isn’t just about performance. It’s about self-belief, resilience and building success in a way that feels sustainable.

That’s 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 hasn’t been a straight line.

I’ve 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 doesn’t 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.

"Nicola helped me shift patterns I didn’t even realise were holding me back like perfectionism, people-pleasing and I was always second-guessing myself.

Today, I’m more confident in my leadership decisions, I’ve secured a promotion and I feel calmer and more present outside of work."
