Working with Nikia was a truly transformative experience. Each session felt personal and full of discovery. From the very first meeting, I felt safe to be authentic and vulnerable, which opened blossoms of real learning and growth. Among other transformations, the coaching gave me both confidence and practical tools. Nikia taught me how to use my body, gestures, and voice with presence and honesty. It became an essential and deeply supportive part of preparing for my first Books & Wine: A Taste Salon presentation. The exercises helped me speak not just with clarity, but with connection and heart. Our training sessions had a space where learning felt alive: gentle, human, and genuinely empowering.
Nikia designed and facilitated a workshop on having courageous conversations to orchestrate conflict as part of our honours leadership program for 80 international master's students at Utrecht University. Together with her student assistants she did a fantastic job! Nikia is smart, engaged, knowledgeable and skilled at teaching and challenging our intelligent and motivated students. And that is no easy feat. They were energized, gave back that they learned a lot in a day and would highly recommend her to come back next year. I couldn't agree more; I loved working with Nikia and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an eager and intelligent professional with a good sense of humor and a lovely personality!
I had the privilege of attending a skills workshop on Engaging Conflict with Empathy and Clarity, facilitated by Nikia Brown from the Roots + Rivers Collective. We discussed the importance of communicating through conflict by practising active listening and asking powerful questions that help clarify the scope of the disagreement, reduce assumptions and create the conditions for constructive resolution. This workshop forms part of my Honours Programme in leadership, which I am undertaking throughout this academic year at Utrecht University. It was an enriching experience that strengthened my belief in leadership grounded in empathy and clarity.
Nikia is a very engaging speaker using personal experiences and creating a safe space to share to help us further our skills in resolving conflict.
