Hello, I'm Nicky Raby.
Welcome welcome; come on in to my online home.
Over the last 25 years I have built a vibrant, diverse portfolio career.
I am trained actor (I graduated from Mountview in 2003 and continue to work across all areas of the industry), a Personal Performance Coach (winning their bursary and being certified by The Coaching Academy in 2013) specialising in personal branding, an international speaker, a writer and content creator.
For nearly 30 years, I have been actively committed to creating a blend of life and business that I love and for the last 15 years, I have supported 1000s of people around to the world to create their success 'pic 'n' mix' aka their version of success.
" Nicky put together a fantastic talk for Stylist Live.
She provided the perfect balance of inspiration, liberation and tangible tips for our audience to make lasting change in their lives.
It was a joy to work with her and the feedback from Nicky’s session was incredible. "

Entrepreneurship. Creating an income pie. Freedom and flexibility.
Doing what you love. Generating (and delivering) multiple income streams.
Meeting your dream money goals and meeting them in a way that feels great and aligns with your circumstances, personality and goals.
Goal setting, strategy, bringing your juiciest ideas to life.
Saying yes, saying no. Creating boundaries. Motherhood.
Creating content. Building strong foundations that create daily sales and opportunities.
Finding your joy. Creating your blend of business and life that feels good.
Knocking your own socks off. Reinvention. Bringing your unique pic 'n' mix to everything you do. Leaning in to ease and flow...
In a nutshell, I help you to design and deliver your personal brand/portfolio career that creates your version of success. That works with your personality, your circumstances and your goals.
Planning:
Figuring out what's next- the new version of you. What do you want to be, do, have and fell.
Reconnecting with a purposeful plan so you are not drifting or 'hoping for the best'
Building a strategy for all your goals from a practical perspective. So instead of just a dreamy vision board; a clear action plan of how this is going to happen.
Pricing/Packaging
Creating an income pie that elevates and shares your skills, talents, experience, perspective aka your USP.
How to create a 'life first' business model. Income streams that are aligned with your circumstances, personality and goals.
How to create every day sales; that pay you when you are working and when you are not.
Positioning
How to set up your 'shop' aka get paid.
Building a digital disco; your website, online presence, your content - ways to experience your portfolio.
How to work smarter not just harder; set up systems that will simplify your business so you can rest more.
Showing what you can do; so sales are full of ease. No sleaze, ick or convincing.
Presenting
How to Speak UP. Communicating with ease, integrity, value and style.
How to move into different places and spaces and elevate your personal brand; tv, film, radio, podcasts, stages, keynotes i.e being booked as a speaker and welcoming speaking as a new revenue stream.
Personal
All about you and the next version of you.
Beginning to operate as your 'future self' right now.
Building habits, patterns of behaviour and a mindset that will support you and propel you through this next chapter.
