Nicole Burley Coaching

Nicole was a fabulous listener and a very encouraging coach. I signed up for Nicole’s «Figure Out my Life» sessions. I was struggling to decide the next move in my career that not only impacted my job but also my location. She helped me talk through what my actual goals were, forced me to explore dreams that I had previously dismissed and opened up my eyes to all the possibility in front of me. Her unbiased views were key and she helped me set targets and deadlines which forced me to take action. I would recommend Nicole to anyone looking to make a change in their lives!

I initially struggled while trying to navigate the world of veganism on my own. Nicole was a godsend: she provided me with great tips and helped me overcome battles, big and small, as I tried to let go of the previous (meat-​eating) world I knew. In addition, her coaching is all-​encompassing — she doesn’t only provide health coaching.
The best thing is that you can email her any time you want in between sessions. So if there’s something on your mind but your session is still a while away, you can email her and she will get back to you quickly. She is extremely insightful, and a good-​hearted person. You feel comfortable opening up to her right away.

Nicole is pleasant, asks good questions and is resourceful. She showed me different angles to view certain issues and gave me great insights as a result. I would recommend Nicole to anyone who is looking for a life coach trying to see the forest from the trees. She is positive, has a can do mentality and gets you moving. I really liked that.

I found Nicole after searching for help with some nutrition and health questions. What I’ve learned from working with Nicole has literally changed my life and my health. Nicole has a special genius for breaking down complicated topics into accomplishable daily life. She is unfailingly supportive yet willing to ask the tough questions. A true coach who is always encouraging. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone trying to feel their way through health or life issues.

Nicole is a wonderful resource for me and I highly recommend her! I was going through a rough time, and felt that I couldn’t do it alone. I needed a person to talk to that would help me focus on the solutions, not just keep talking about the problems. Nicole was so helpful, warm, and an awesome communicator. She helped ME get to the root of my issues, and it gave me such confidence to be able to address bumps down the road in the future. She has a true gift, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to make a change!

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Nicole. She is a truly kind and talented woman that has greatly improved my life. I was presented with alot of challenges this year and felt hopeless. She patiently listened, gave me useful tools to better understand my needs and values and effectively guided me in to the right direction each time. I’m a much happier person now, and I must say that I owe it all to Nicole!

Wow! In the five months I worked with Nicole (every other week), I exceeded my goals, and the miracle is that it all felt effortless. Beyond that, the best part is that I now have a system in place that I know I will stick to because we created it together, for ME. I ran my ideas by her, she was on hand to troubleshoot and support my choices with her knowledge, and that means I will STICK TO IT, because it is mine, and I KNOW that it works in the long-​term. Not just a quick fix that won’t really alter my habits. It came about so organically, I hardly noticed the changes, and is specific to ME, my lifestyle, my needs, etc. Pretty extraordinary stuff.

I worked with Coach Nicole for a month and am so pleased with the results! I recently started a master’s degree program that added different and new stressors to my life — coupled with the «day to day» aspects of relationships, family, working 2 jobs, and various health diagnosis over the past year (including thyroid cancer). Nicole helped me to articulate my goals for my health, life and the future through thoughtful, provoking and kind coaching. I’m happy to say that I feel so much more hopeful about what I can accomplish thanks to Nicole!

Nicole is amazing! I don’t know how she does except that she has a gift for listening, understanding, asking the right questions and accepting people for who they are while holding a vision of their best self in her mind and somehow helping you see it too! I started seeing Nicole after I had just lost my job, moved to a new town and was trying to find a new career, new friends and figure out who I was. Oh, and did I mention I had some health stuff going on too? After one session she started helping me see myself and my life in hopeful terms, instead of «everything is an obstacle» to be pole jumped. I am now happily settled, with friends, great health, a new job. I think the greatest thing about Nicole (besides the fact that she listened, gave me hope and helped me change my life) is that she is available. Emails, facebook, or just a quick 10 minute check in made me feel like I was never alone. I wish I could clone Nicole and give her to everyone of my friends. Everyone should have a Coach Nicole in their life!

Nicole rules! I started meeting with her at a time when I was teetering on the fulcrum of career change. My sessions with Nicole were instrumental in: 1/​Clearing my brain of all the unneccesaries to be able to focus on the most essential questions; 2/​Identifing what was standing in my way of pursuing what I truly wanted and; 3/​Facilitating the organization and execution of simple action steps to fulfill the vision. As a result, I successfully embarked on an entrepeneurial venture I had wondered about for years (loved it — more to come). In addition, the clarity my talks with Nicole provided me helped me effectively neogtiate myself a promotion into a new, much more exciting position for my day job. HIGHLY recommend.

Prior to meeting with Nicole I had feared the stereotypical airy-​fairy/​preachy/​woowoo life coaches who would only ask me what colour my crystals were (please note that i do not, nor have i ever, owned a crystal… no offense to any crystals out there of course.) However, after speaking with a friend who highly recommended her, I figured, why not give it a shot.
How very very very glad I am that I did.
I dont know how Nicole does it but she zooms in to the individual and, without blinking an eye, manages to ask the very best questions that put all aspects of my life in its proper perspective and allowed me to see all the nooks and crannies that both needed to be attended to as well as inspire me to move forward with confidence and clarity… all while being unbelievably charming, open, soooooo easy to talk with and impressively tuned in to the individual issues at hand.
She was so down to earth and professional it made me re-​examine my notion of life coaches completely. She also addresses health, hopes, and just being the very best self you can be. I can’t imagine anyone else in New York could even compare.
I highly encourage anyone looking for a life coach to contact Nicole immediately. And leave all crystals at home, they wont be needed here. :-)

Nicole is a great coach! She helped me through a transitional time in my life (a move from NYC to Chicago) full of changes (friends, job, career, relationship). My sense is that she is able to adapt her style to her client’s needs. At the time, I needed a gentle coach who listened to my concerns and steered me toward things I could definitely accomplish and away from things that didn’t line up with what I said I wanted (which she sometimes had to point out to me). What I like most about the way she works is that she combines both big picture ideas (who do you want to be? what do you want out of your life?) with specific real life applications (go after this job not that job, buy a juicer, tell your partner what you need). She really helped me separate my «should’s» from my true wants. Overall, she’s a great listener and has a breadth of life experience that I was able to benefit from.
