Executive Mindset & Leadership Coaching
From Doing It All, To Doing It With Purpose.
Calm Capability. Unstoppable Confidence.
A Vision So Clear. It’s Impossible Not To Elevate.
Where Psychology Meets Performance. Mindset Meets Vision & Strategy
I combine executive coaching with psychology to rewire the patterns holding you back while building the strategy that moves you forward.
Why?
Because my clients don't just want more success.
They want success that feels as elevated as it looks!
Hi, I'm Nicola Hladky
Executive Mindset & Leadership Coach
Here's What I Know About You
You're already successful. You've built something really good, you're winning.
But... you're operating at your absolute max. Your mind doesn't switch off. Every decision lands on you. You're leading from adrenaline more than you'd like to admit, and the gap between coping and holding yourself together just keeps getting wider.
Maybe you're not burned out yet, but you can see it on the horizon.
The real issue? It's not a performance problem. It's not about working harder it about thinking and leading differently.
Your business/ career grow as far as your current operating system allows. Without rewiring what's underneath, you'll keep hitting the same wall
Most Coaching Focuses Only On Performance.
Most Therapy Looks Only To The Past.
My Clients Elevate
From constantly "on" and carrying every decision
→ To building systems that give them energy back and teams they can actually trust
From working 80-hour weeks, heading towards burnout
→ To leading strategically, hitting multi 6 - 7 figure growth and feeling in control
From self-doubt and imposter syndrome despite years of success
→ To confident leadership presence and securing opportunities they never thought possible
From people-pleasing and inability to set boundaries
→ To thriving in senior roles, delegating with ease and protecting themselves from burnout
These transformations aren't luck.
They're the result of combining psychology, performance and strategy to unlock a new level of leadership.
"Before working with Nicola, I was constantly firefighting. My mind never switched off and had to make all the decisions"

"Before working with Nicola, I was constantly firefighting. My mind never switched off and had to make all the decisions.
Within weeks, I had strategic focus and was making decisions with far more confidence. Nicola helped me see the high-functioning anxiety that made me feel indispensable but was actually holding the business back.
Six months later, I'm hitting targets and leading with a calm, steady presence I didn't know was possible."

I Work With My Clients Using
The Elevation Method
I work with clients across three pillars to create lasting change in how you think, feel and lead.
Elevate Your Mind
For leaders who can't turn it off.
If you're constantly three steps ahead, carrying every decision, feeling like you're the only one who gets it.
We build the mental fitness to lead with clarity instead of carrying everything.
The shift:
From mental overload → to mental precision.
Elevate Your Vision
For leaders who've achieved success but aren't sure it's the right success.
If you're hitting goals that don't excite you or feel disconnected from why you started.
We get clear on what you're actually building toward.
The shift:
From goals that don't light you up → to a vision that does.
Elevate Your Strategy
For leaders doing too much of the wrong things.
If you're working harder than ever without the impact you want, stuck firefighting when you should be leading strategically.
We redesign how you operate.
The shift:
From constant firefighting → to strategic leadership that scales.
Why The Elevation Method Works
My unique blend of executive coaching and psychology helps leaders strengthen their mindset, refine their vision and build strategies that last.
You won't just learn new tools. You'll shift how you think, feel and lead, creating change that builds over time.
What We Work Through
Here's what we actually address when we work together:
The Internal Stuff:
- High-functioning anxiety that keeps you sharp but never lets you rest
- Decision fatigue when it all depends on you
- The mental load that follows you into every evening and weekend
The Leadership Transition:
- Identity shifts as you grow (founder to CEO, expert to leader, doer to delegator)
- Leading at levels you've never led before
- Being the youngest in the room or navigating teams who question your authority
The Alignment Gap:
- When external success doesn't match how it feels internally
- Building something that scales without compromising your values
- Creating a business that works for your life, not the other way around
The Burnout You Can See Coming:
- Operating at your edge for too long
- Leading from urgency instead of clarity
- Knowing that something has to shift before you hit the wall
The Result
Leaders who scale their impact without sacrificing their values, their energy, or themselves.

"Running a rapidly growing business had me working 70+ hour weeks, heading towards burnout. I was busy but paying for it physically and mentally.
Through Nicola's coaching, I built systems, learned to delegate and created an actual work-life balance. I learned to lead from confidence and conviction instead of urgency and panic.
Revenue grew 40% this year and I've never felt more in control."

"I used to spend my days reacting to problems instead of driving the business forward.

"I used to spend my days reacting to problems instead of driving the business forward.
I was exhausted from making hundreds of decisions when I should have been focusing on strategy.
Nicola helped me rewire how I think about my role. We worked through the beliefs keeping me stuck in execution mode.
I now focus on strategic work that brings in revenue and lead from ease, not chaos. The ripple effect has been extraordinary."
