From Stuck to Soaring - Coaching for Life & Career Transitions - Nicola Pierre (CPCC, ACC)

I’ve always been fascinated by what makes us tick—how we learn, grow, and navigate the twists and turns of life. That curiosity led me to a degree in Human Sciences in the UK, my home country, and from there, my journey took me across Europe. I started my career in Italy, then moved to Cologne, Germany, where I’ve now lived for many years.

For two decades, I worked in Human Resources, specializing in Learning & Development, eventually leading Learning & Development for the European region in a global automotive company. Before that, I was a successful communications trainer and author of training materials, helping people develop the skills they needed to thrive.

Throughout my career, I became an expert in adult learning and development—but more than that, I discovered what truly makes personal and professional growth meaningful. Learning isn’t just about acquiring new skills; it’s about understanding ourselves—our strengths, values, and motivations—and using that awareness to move forward with clarity and confidence.

When I took early retirement in April 2021, I knew I wasn’t done helping people grow. Coaching felt like the most natural next step. I’ve experienced firsthand how powerful coaching can be when you’re at a crossroads, unsure of what’s next. Now, I help others navigate their own transitions—whether in career, life, or personal growth—so they can move forward with purpose and confidence. I’m a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach with a Diploma in Adult Learning and Development – and accredited by the International Coaching Federation.

If you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, or ready for change, I’d love to support you on your journey. Let’s talk!
